AGENDA ITEM #9.4 <br /> c��y of <br /> Pequot <br /> Lakes— - <br /> REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL <br /> Report Prepared by: Nancy Malecha <br /> Date: February 5, 2018 <br /> Subiect: Request for Temporary Hire <br /> Report: A public works employee will be out on personal leave for several <br /> weeks beginning in late February. Because of this, the Public Works Department <br /> will be short staffed during the remaining 2017-2018 snowplowing season. To <br /> alleviate this, we are requesting the temporary hiring of Bill Rickard to assist with <br /> snowplowing duties on an as needed basis. As you may know, Mr. Rickard is the <br /> First Assistant Chief in the Fire Department and he has assisted the City in the past <br /> with our snowplowing needs. He is familiar with the City's streets, snowplowing <br /> routes, will require no additional training, and his licensing and employment <br /> screenings have already been met. <br /> The pay structure range for the City's Maintenance Worker position is from $15.90 <br /> per hour to $20.87 per hour. I am requesting that the City pay Mr. Rickard an <br /> hourly wage of$19.14 per hour which is 1/2 step below current staff. The Public <br /> Works Department is not seeking to amend their budget for this unforeseen event <br /> as they will work this into their existing 2018 budget. <br /> We appreciate Mr. Rickard's willingness to assist the City on an as needed basis <br /> during this temporary staffing shortage. <br /> Council Action Requested: Council motion to hire Bill Rickard as a temporary <br /> Maintenance Worker to assist the Public Works Department as needed during the <br /> 2017-2018 snowplowing season at an hourly rate of$19.14 per hour with no <br /> benefit package. <br />
