Consider a Resolution to Accept a Paid-on-call Firefighter's Resignation and to Hire a  Paid-on-call a Firefighter

On October 3, 2012 staff received a letter of resignation from Paid-on-call Firefighter Mr. Tim Bergersen.  Mr. Bergersen served out of station #2. 

As part of the recent authorization to recruit for firefighters, staff identified a candidate to serve out of station #2, should there be an opening.  Mr. Jeff Kagol successfully interviewed and passed the city's background check,  physical agility test, work-style assessment, and pre-employment examination.  If approved, Mr. Kagol would be subject to a 1-year probationary period and the terms of the Personnel Policy.

Authorization of resolution # 12-11-XXX, which upon City Council approval, will allow staff to immediately accept the resignation of Mr. Tim Bergersen and to hire Mr. Jeff Kagol as a Paid-on-call Firefighter at $12.88 per hour, effective November 14, 2012.

There is no funding required to accept Mr. Bergersen's resignation.  The funding  required to hire Mr. Kagol is included in the 2012 budget.

Motion to approve resolution # 12-11-XXX confirming the recommendation of the Personnel Committee to immediately  accept Mr. Tim Bergersen's resignation and to hire Mr. Jeff Kagol as a Paid-on-call Firefighter at $12.88 per hour, effective November 14, 2012.
