I have agreed to assist with the recruitment and selection <br />process for a new city administrator but there will be a gap of several months between my <br />departure and a new administrator's arrival. <br />It is my recommendation that Dan Tesch, Director of Administration, be appointed <br />Acting City Administrator from September 6 until a replacement administrator begins. <br />Mr. Tesch's job description calls for him to fill in for the city administrator during <br />absences. He has done so effectively for the past five years during my vacations and an <br />extended medical leave. He has a long tenure with the city and has worked closely with <br />me on most issues. <br />Because assuming city administrator duties for an extended period of time imposes an <br />additional work load on the acting administrator, I also recommend that while he serves <br />in that capacity Mr. Tesch be compensated with a ten percent increase in salary. This is <br />the same process we use with union employees who are required to assume additional <br />duties for more than two weeks. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Adopt Resolution 03-130 appointing Dan Tesch Acting City Administrator and <br />increasing his salary by ten percent during the period he serves as Acting City <br />Administrator. <br />2. Decline to appoint Dan Tesch Acting City Administrator. <br />3. Return to staff for further review and/or action. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />1. Option #1 <br />
