515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 551174600 <br />(651) 766 -4029 / FAX: (651) 766 -4048 <br />www.ci.little-canadadnn.us <br />TO: <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br />RE: <br />MEMORANDUM <br />Mayor Blesener & Members of City Council <br />Bill Direks, Public Works Superintendent <br />April 3, 2014 <br />Street Sweeper Operator Position <br />MAYOR <br />Bill Blesener <br />COUNCIL <br />Rick Montour <br />John Keis <br />Michael McGraw <br />Shelly Boss <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />Ron Kohn, the City's street sweeper operator for the past five years will not be able to <br />come back this year due to an illness. Ron did an excellent job for the City and we wish <br />him well. <br />The City advertised to fill the position and was able to find a qualified candidate. Charles <br />Johnson recently retired after working for 36 years for the City of Newport. While he <br />worked there he did the majority of the City's sweeping with an Elgin Pelican sweeper. <br />The Pelican is different from Little Canada's Crosswind but he understands sweeping in <br />traffic, safe operation, and the other idiosyncrasies that go along with sweeping city <br />streets. <br />The public works staff should be able to train him on using the Crosswind along with <br />showing him the extra care and maintenance that it needs. <br />The position is regular part -time. He will generally work for about two weeks in the <br />spring, another two -to -four weeks through the summer, and two -to three weeks in the fall <br />to sweep leaves. He will also be on -call if we need him for any special sweeping jobs. <br />Staff recommends hiring Charles Johnson to be the City's Street Sweeper Operator at the <br />rate of $20 per hour. <br />
