AGENDA ITEM 4A
Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator
August 25, 2003
Consider Resolution 03-130 Appointing Acting City
Administrator
3/5
BACKGROUND:
I have resigned as city administrator, effective September 5, 2003, to become the city
administrator of Jordan, MN. I have agreed to assist with the recruitment and selection
process for a new city administrator but there will be a gap of several months between my
departure and a new administrator's arrival.
It is my recommendation that Dan Tesch, Director of Administration, be appointed
Acting City Administrator from September 6 until a replacement administrator begins.
Mr. Tesch's job description calls for him to fill in for the city administrator during
absences. He has done so effectively for the past five years during my vacations and an
extended medical leave. He has a long tenure with the city and has worked closely with
me on most issues.
Because assuming city administrator duties for an extended period of time imposes an
additional work load on the acting administrator, I also recommend that while he serves
in that capacity Mr. Tesch be compensated with a ten percent increase in salary. This is
the same process we use with union employees who are required to assume additional
duties for more than two weeks.
OPTIONS:
1. Adopt Resolution 03-130 appointing Dan Tesch Acting City Administrator and
increasing his salary by ten percent during the period he serves as Acting City
Administrator.
2. Decline to appoint Dan Tesch Acting City Administrator.
3. Return to staff for further review and/or action.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Option #1
