Consent Item
Date of Meeting: September 17, 2024
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Brenda “Bee” Stignani – Office Assistant
Subject: Winter Seasonal Staff Hiring - Consent
Background
Public Works has previously hired seven total Rink Attendants to manage the daily shifts and monitor
conditions of the Warming House and two ice rinks. This year Public Works plans to continue with six Rink
Attendants plus one Lead Rink Attendant. Staff has contacted past Rink Attendants, and Tal Swenson as the
returning Lead Rink Attendant, and four other returning attendants: Tristan Hegland, Carter Marincel, Elliot
Schaefer, and Jackson Scholz. Normal operation requires one Rink Attendant assigned per shift. Currently
staffing requires nine shifts Monday-Sunday. Staffing expands to 14 shifts per week during the Holiday break.
With five returning attendants Public Works will need to fill two additional positions.
Public Works has also hired two Seasonal Plow Operators for the clearing of snow from roads and parking lots.
Public Works plans to continue staffing two operators with Jim Gribble returning. One position will need to be
filled for the season.
Public Works has also hired one Rink Maintenance Seasonal for the maintenance of the ice rinks, care of the
warming house facility, along with clearing snow from sidewalks through the Village Center and City Hall.
Public Works plans to continue with one Rink Maintenance Seasonal staff with Neil Swenson returning.
Issue
Should the City post for two open Rink Attendant positions at a rate of $13.50/hour and post one open
Seasonal Plow Operator position at a rate of $18.00/hour for the 2024-2025 Rink Season. Also, should the City
re-hire the past seasonal staff listed above.
Fiscal Impact
All positions have been budgeted for in the 2024-2025 budgets.

recommending hiring Neil Swenson as the returning Rink Maintenance staff at a pay rate of
