Re: Hiring part-time on call snow plow drivers
Background: Clarence Seefert and Bruce Swenson, who have previously assisted as part-time, on-call
snow plow drivers have been contacted to determine if they wanted to return and fill those positons
again for the 2017-2018 winter season. Both are interested in returning for this season.
Issue: Should Clarence Seefert and Bruce Swenson be rehired as On-Call, PT Maintenance Workers.
Proposal Details: Staff is recommending that the Clarence Seefert and Bruce Swenson be rehired at the
rates of pay of $17.59 per hour. This is a $0.25 increase from the 2016-2017 $17.34 rate of pay.
Fiscal Impact: The 2017 and 2018 budgets both provided for 80 hours of work by part-time plow drivers.
Year-to-date in 2017, 38.5 hours have been utilized.
Options:
1.) Approve hiring of part time, on-call maintenance positions for 2017-2018 winter season at the
stated pay rate
2.) Rehire are the current pay rate
3.) Do not hire any part-time, on-call maintenance positions for 2017-2018 winter season
4.) Solicit applications for other part-time snow plow drivers
Recommendation: Option 1
