Discuss Building Maintenance Staffing

The purpose of this discussion is to request the City Council to approve, by consensus, increasing the part-time Building Maintenance Worker from 20 to 25 hours per week.  This change is requested to be on effective April 14, 2022.

The current 20 hour per week Building Maintenance Worker submitted his letter of resignation, effective April 28, 2022.   This employee works Monday - Thursday 2:30 to 7:30 p.m.  Prior to posting this opening, Human Resources would like to update the schedule to include an additional five hours per week. 

Adding five hours a week to the schedule will not only add additional capacity, but it will also greatly increase current staffs' ability to use their earned vacation time or to maintain coverage in the event an employee is ill.  It would also significantly reduce the number of Friday's that the other Building Maintenance Worker would need to work alone in an unoccupied building. From a scheduling perspective, approving time off on Friday's has been difficult due to lack of coverage.  

Note:  Current staffing includes a full-time Building Maintenance Supervisor, two full-time Building Maintenance Workers, and one part-time 20 hour per week Building Maintenance Worker.  



 

Up to 10 minutes.

The additional 2022 funding required for this action (beginning on or near April 14, 2022) would be $1,570.
