Staff Report
Date of Meeting: October 20, 2020
To: Mayor, City Council
From: Adam Hawkinson, Director of Public Works
Re: Hiring part-time on call snow plow drivers
Background: Steve Greenhow 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 2020-2021 winter season. Both are interested in returning for this season.
Issue: Should Steve Greenhow and Bruce Swenson be rehired as On-Call, PT Maintenance Workers.
Proposal Details: Staff is recommending that the Steve Greenhow and Bruce Swenson be rehired at a
pay rate of $16.50 per hour for Steve and $18.60 per hour for Bruce. Bruce has plowed 3+ years for the
City and Steve for one winter season.
Fiscal Impact: The 2020 and 2021 budgets both provided for 80 hours of work by part-time plow drivers.
The budget for 2021 has been amended to anticipate the increase in costs.
Options:
1.) Approve hiring of part time, on-call maintenance positions for 2020-2021 winter season at the stated
pay rate
2.) Do not hire any part-time, on-call maintenance positions for 2020-2021 winter season
Recommendation: Option 1
