CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3B <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Karissa Bartholomew, Human Resources Manager <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: December 10, 2018 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Appointment of Building Permit Technician <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The Council is being asked to approve the appointment of Brianna Freeman to the Building Permit <br />Technician position. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Current Building Permit Technician Georgia Woltjer will be retiring early February 2019. In <br />anticipation of this retirement, staff has completed the recruitment process for the upcoming <br />vacancy, provided a conditional offer, and is recommending the approval of Ms. Brianna <br />Freeman for the Building Permit Technician position contingent upon the successful completion <br />of a background check. <br /> <br />Ms. Freeman has over six years of customer service experience, and currently works for the City <br />of Minneapolis as a Customer Service Representative. <br /> <br />The hourly rate of pay would be $22.79, which is Step 2 of the AFSCME Labor Contract. <br /> <br />Staff is planning to have Freeman start early January and be trained in by Woltjer for a full <br />billing cycle. Due to the salary differential between the existing and new personnel, the overlap <br />in staffing will not have a negative impact on the 2019 budget. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Approve the appointment of Brianna Freeman to the Building Permit Technician position effective <br />January 2019. <br />
