City Council Agenda Report

Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Approve the hiring of Greg VanDerSchaegen for the position of
Seasonal Parks and Grounds Maintenance Worker, and approve related
amendments to the 2011 Budget.
Deadline/Timeline: N/A
Background: • At the March 8 work session, the Council discussed seasonal
grounds maintenance and authorized to offer a seasonal part-time
position to the employee who previously held the job, contingent
upon the Council's approval of the hiring and required budget
amendments at the March 15 regular meeting.
• Mr. VanDerSchaegen filled this position in 2009 and 2010 and
proved to be a very capable and reliable worker. He has agreed to
accept the position for 2011.
• His work schedule will be 3 days/24 hours per week, with the exact
days and hours to be determined by the Maintenance Supervisor
depending upon work demands and weather conditions. The
position will begin April 1 and terminate on approximately October
31 (32 weeks.)
• The 2011 Parks Department budget needs to be amended to add this
position and related fringe benefits. (In 2010, the temporary
position was included in the Parks budget.)
• The 2011 budget included a regular, part-time maintenance position,
spread over three departmental budgets (Public Works, Community
Center and Parks.) The Council previously decided not to fill this
position in favor of hiring a temporary worker. The budget needs to
be amended to remove this position.
• A draft resolution, attached, shows the budget amendments needed
to add the temporary position and eliminate the regular part-time
position. The net change to the 2011 General Fund operating budget
is a reduction of$14,505.
