06.j Approve Termination of Seasonal Maintenance Worker
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: January 17, 2023
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Anne Hurlburt, Interim City Administrator
Re: Approve Termination of Seasonal Rink Maintenance Worker
Action Requested:
Approve the termination of Seasonal Rink Maintenance Worker Joe Murphy, effective Friday,
January 6, 2023.
Background:
The city’s Personnel Policy (Section 2.e) provides that “Except where prohibited by law,
seasonal and temporary employees may be terminated by the supervisor at any time, subject to
City Council approval.”
Public Works Director Charles Fisher terminated the seasonal worker for good cause. I have
reviewed the circumstances of the termination and agree with his actions.
Full time staff will continue ice maintenance for the remainder of the season. Hiring and training
a new employee would take longer than the remainder of the season.
