Adopt Resolution #17-06-136 to Hire Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers

The purpose of this case is to request authorization to hire  three Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers. 

Annually the City employs Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers to perform work in the Parks, Streets, and Utilities Divisions of Public Works. The process to fill these positions includes an open competitive recruitment, interviews, background checks, pre-employment testing, City Council approval to hire and on-boarding. 

At this time, staff selected three qualified seasonal candidates.  All candidates have passed the pre-employment screenings  and staff recommends hiring the candidates listed below. 

Entry level seasonal pay:   First year seasonal employees earn $10.00 per hour. Each year that seasonal employees return they received a twenty-five cent per hour increase in pay, to a maximum of $12.00 per hour.

 

Option #1  To hire  the selected 2017 Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers.

Option #2:  Not moving ahead with hiring  the Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers.   Staff does not recommend this option due to the inability to meet the highly labor intensive seasonal work demands in the Public Works Department.

The funding required to fill these positions is included within the approved 2017 budget.

Staff recommends option #1 above, hiring the following  2017 Seasonal Public Works Maintenance Workers:

Olivia Pint at $10.00 per hour with a start date on or near May 24, 2017; and
James Ringold at $10.00 per hour with a start date on or near May 30, 2017; and
Odessa Fogelson at $10.00 per hour with a start date on or near June 12, 2017.
 

Motion to adopt resolution #17-06-136 to hire the following employees:
 
Olivia Pint at $10.00 per hour with a start date on or near May 24, 2017; and
James Ringold at $10.00 per hour with a start date on or near May 30, 2017; and
