9/11/72 Mr. Jaworski said the salary range was such as to avoid compensatory time. The man must be able to do the book work and also manual labor. This has been discussed with Mr. Backlin and he was interested in the job. The Council accepted the job description with the correction. Mr. Marier asked Mr. Locher if the statues require us to advertise for employment. Mr. Locher said Yes, that it was proper. Mr. 7elinka moved to amend Ordinance No. 43A adding the "Working Supervisor or supervisor" clause in the excepting portion of section 12. seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Mr. 7elinka moved to acdept the corrected copy for Full -Time public Works Working supervisor. Mr. Cardinal seconded. Carried. Mr. 7elinka reported that they are working on a standard form for all applications for Village employment. This should be finished in about a month. Mr. 7elinka reported on the resignation of Mrs. June Emerton as Clerk /Treasurer of the Village. Her job description was discussed. Mr. Zelinka said he was sorry that we lost her at this time. He would like to have the Council consider a motion to reject her resignation subject to review by the Personnel Commission. Mr. Bohjanen said he had asked her to stay; ne felt that with elections this year, the special meetings and the budgets meetings that it would be a bad time to lose a Clerk. Mrs. lmerton feels there is too much work and not enough help. Mr. Bohjanen had asked Mrs. sarner to fill in in order to insure continuity in the office. The present Deputu Clerks have very limited day time hours. He would recommend that we run this through the Personnel Commission and try to get her to remain. Mr. Marier felt that since this was the second time she had resigned that we should accept her resignation as she evidently was not happy in her job. He also felt that a person that was not satisfied in their job would not be good for that job. He thought she had done an efficient job of running the office of Clerk /Treasurer but if she was bettering herself then she should be allowed to do this. Mr. Cardinal asked what happens on Friday if we reject her resignation - we could be without a Village Clerk on Monday morning. Mr. Marier felt that before the hours were extended to full time that the work was being done a part time basis. If it could be done then with fewer hours why is there such a work load now. Hes the load increased that much or was the Council that far off in their estimatinn of the work and time involved. Mrs. ?elinka asked if the position must be filled by a resident of the Village. She was told No. She then suggested that perhaps we would have to look further in order to find a qualified person. Mr. Marier felt that there was an emotional problem here and not necessarily Mrs. Emerton's. He wondered if we would be doing her a favor or not by asking her to stay. Mr. 7elinka moved to reject Mrs. Emerton's resignation. seconded by Mr. Cardinal. Carried. Doris Pease suggested that instead of a legal ad that the position should be listed in the classified ads as that is where people interested in jobs look. Mr. Locher was asked if we have to advertise in our legal paper and answered No. Clyde Rehbein suggested that sometimes an employer doesn't realize that his employee is underpaid or mistreated until they resign. He felt that we would have to pay more in order to get a qualified person for the position.
