Re: Hiring Seasonal Maintenance Worker
Background: Since 2022 the City has advertised for two Seasonal Parks Maintenance Workers
to maintain City facilities and grounds with various other duties as assigned The 2024 pay scale
for Parks Seasonal Workers has been set between $15.00 to $17.50 per hour. A past employee
who has seasonally worked for the City has applied to return again.
• Greg VanDershaegen, who has previously worked in this position for multiple seasons
Based on the labor agreement with the Union, non-student part-time employees can be
employed for up to 67 days without becoming a member of the Union. This would provide for
13 weeks of employment for Mr. VanDershaegen. Employment of Mr. VanDershaegen will
begin shortly after consent to hire and run into October.
Issue: Should the City hire Greg VanDershaegen to fill the second Seasonal Park Grounds
Maintenance Worker position?
Request Consent:
Approve hiring Greg VanDersaegen for the second position at $17.50/hour for the Seasonal
Park Grounds Maintenance Position.
