9.g Hiring Seasonal Parks Maintenance Worker
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: April 19, 2016
To: City Council
From: Dave Williams, Director of Public Works
Re: Hiring of Seasonal Maintenance Worker for Park Grounds
Background:
Through the authorization of City Council last year a Seasonal Parks Maintenance Worker staffed
Public Works. Christina Mazzucco was hired for this position. She was responsible for keeping the
grass cut, weeds pulled, trash pick-up, and various other duties throughout the city of Scandia. It
benefits the city of Scandia to have a proficient seasonal employee that is familiar with the
expectations and responsibilities required. She is knowledgeable of the city and the duties required
for this position. Christina worked 4 days per week. This enabled the City of Scandia to have a
seasonal worker through the end of the grounds maintenance season.
Issue:
Should City Council rehire Christina Mazzucco for the Seasonal Park Grounds Maintenance Worker
position?
Fiscal Impact:
The rate for this position last year was recommended and set at $10.75 per hour. The
recommendation is for wages to be increased to $11.00 per hour. The budget is sufficient to cover
the pay rate for up to 67 working days. The position would terminate at the end of the grounds
maintenance season.
Options:
1) Approve the rehiring of Christina Mazzucco at $11.00/hour for the Seasonal Park Grounds
Maintenance Position.
2) Approve rehiring Christina Mazzucco at a different rate of pay for the Seasonal Park
Grounds Maintenance Position.
Recommendation:
Option 1
