• <br />• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM 3B <br />STAFF MEMBER Daniel Tesch, Director of Administration <br />DATE 27 March 2000 <br />SUBJECT Receptionist Position <br />VOTE REQUIRED Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND <br />The city council authorized staff to recruit and hire a secretary for the Community <br />Development Department. The city began the recruitment process, and received several <br />qualified candidates. Myself and members of the Community Development Department <br />conducted first interviews. The City Administrator and Community Development Director <br />conducted a second interview. It was the consensus of all involved that Dawn Buggee, city <br />receptionist, be promoted to this secretarial position. <br />We are now left with a vacancy at the front desk. Per the union contract, the position is being <br />posted at city hall. In the interest of time, we have revisited the pool of applicants recently <br />created by the department secretary position. We are also responding to requests generated by <br />our internal posting. Based on these sources, we are confident that a qualified applicant can be <br />found. <br />We propose to conduct interviews on the 30th, and 31st of this month. Our next regularly <br />scheduled council meeting is 10 April. We would therefore request permission to extend a <br />conditional offer of employment as soon as our administrative hiring process is completed. This <br />would save us almost a month, based on a two -week notice to any current employer. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Allow staff to extend a conditional offer of employment for the receptionist position <br />prior to our next council meeting. <br />2. Deny the request, and wait for the offer of employment until 10 April. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />1. <br />
