Staff Report
Date of Meeting: January 21, 2020
To: Mayor, City Council
From: Adam Hawkinson, Director of Public Works
Re: Hiring part-time on call snow plow driver
Background: Tony Angell who had previously assisted as part-time, on-call - snow plow driver notified
the Director of Public works he would not be returning for the 2019/2020 snow plowing season. The city
has advertised since fall for a replacement driver for the the 2019 / 2020 winter season. There were two
applicants that have recently applied for the position. The City Administrator and PW Director have
interviewed the candidates for the position and have a recommendation for the council.
Issue: Should we hire the selected candidate?
Proposal Details: Staff is recommending that Steve Greenhow be hired at the rate of pay of $16.00 per
hour provided the employee screening requirements meet approval. He has a class A commercial
drivers License which would also allow him to drive our dump trucks in an emergency if needed.
Fiscal Impact: The 2020 budget provides for 80 hours of work by part-time plow drivers. Year-to-date
during the 2020 portion of the season 8 hours have been utilized.
Options:
1.) Approve hiring of Steve Greenhow as a part time, on-call maintenance plowing person for the
remainder of the 2020 winter season at the stated pay rate.
2.) Do not fill the position
Recommendation: Option 1
