Re: Hire Ice Rink Maintenance Worker
Background:
In October meeting, the Council gave approval to staff to advertise and interview for the Ice Rink
Maintenance Worker position for the 2014-201 season. No applications were received after the first
posting and the Council directed staff to advertise again. On the second advertisement, one application
was received.
Issue:
Who should be hired for the 2014-2015 season as an ice rink maintenance worker?
Proposal Details:
The Public Works Director and I interviewed Ben Johnson on November 13, 2014
Staff is recommending Johnson be hired as the ice rink maintenance worker for the 2014-2015 season at
an hourly rate of $10.00 subject to passing a background check and drug test.
Fiscal Impact:
In October the Council approved advertising the position at a rate of $10-12/hour, similar to other
seasonal maintenance positions. This amount has been provided for in the budgets.
Options:
1) Hire Johnson for the 2014-2015 season at a rate of $10.00/hr, subject to passing a background and
drug test
2) Re -advertise the opening
3) Do not fill the position.
Recommendation:
Option 1.
