9j. Staff report - request to advertise for part time snow plow driverTo: City Council From: Dave Williams, Director of Public Works Date: December 8, 2015 Re: Seasonal on -call Public Works Staffing Background: The City hired 3 seasonal on -call, part-time/ seasonal employees last winter to help with snowplowing. Issue• What should the hiring process be for 1 more on -call, part-time/seasonal maintenance employee for the 2015-2016 snowplowing season. Proposal: Staff is requesting the Council authorization to advertise for applications for 1 more on -call, part- time/seasonal employee snowplowing at the same pay rate as last season ($17.34/hr. for those with a Class A license and $14.28/hr. for those without a Class A) The Council could delegate the interview process to City Administrator and the Public Works Director with recommendations for hiring coming back to Council at a later future meeting. Staff would like to hire 1 more position to support the returning drivers. The 2 returning drivers are considered primary drivers and the third would be strictly on -call for a backup. Fiscal impact: The proposed rates to hire are the same as last year. The impact will depend on the amount of snow events occur this season Options 1) Authorize staff to advertise for on -call, part-time/seasonal employee for snowplowing and delegate interview to staff 2) Authorize staff to advertise for on -call, part-time/seasonal employee and set a schedule for Council to complete interview. 3) Do not seek additional applications. Recommendation: Option 1 14727 209t1i St. N., Scandia, Minnesota 55073 Phone (651) 433-2274 Fax (651) 433-5112 hi!p://www.cl.scandia.inn.us
