5.d) Seasional Ice Rink Staffing Meeting Date: 10/19/2010
Agenda Item: 5" �'
City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274
Action Requested: Authorize hiring of part-time seasonal parks staff for the 2010-2011 ice
skating season.
Deadline/ Timeline: Staffing should be completed by December 1; tentative opening date for the
rink will be in mid-December.
Background: • Each year the warming house is staffed by five seasonal Ice Rink (Park)
Attendants, supervised by a Skating Supervisor. The City also hires a
seasonal Ice Rink Maintenance Worker, who is responsible for flooding
the rink and maintaining the ice during the season.
• John Beattie will return as Skating Manager, and Mike White will return
as Ice Rink Maintenance Worker.
• The 2010 pay rates for these positions were $10.88 and $12.86 per hour,
respectively. No adjustments are recommended for 2011.
• Last season, the Council also authorized the hire of a back-up
Maintenance Worker, Matt Rasmussen, to operate the Zamboni in the
case of illness or some other reason that Mike White is not available. The
pay rate was $10.00 per hour.
• We anticipate that at least two of last year's attendants will not return.
The starting pay is recommended to be the same as last season, the
minimum wage of$7.25 per hour plus an additional $.25 per hour for
each prior year of experience ($7.50 for a second-year attendant and
$7.75 for a third-year attendant.)
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council authorize hiring the following part-time,
seasonal employees for the 2010-2011 skating season:
• John Beattie, Skating Supervisor at $10.88 per hour
• Mike White, Ice Rink Maintenance Worker at $12.86 per hour
• Matt Rasmussen, back-up Ice Rink Maintenance Worker at $10.00 per
hour
The Council should also authorize staff to advertise and select and hire Ice
Rink Attendants for the 2010-2011 skating season, at the same pay scale as
last season.
