The successful candidate will fill in until a permanent replacement for Joe is found. The City received two applications and both were interviewed on Monday. Both candidates have training and experiences that would make them a good fit for the posi- tion. They were evaluated on five criteria: availability, safety training, rink/park mainte- nance experience, plowing experience, and responses to scenarios presented as interview questions. Based on this information, I am recommending that the Council hire Gordon Beck for the position. The hire would be contingent upon successfully passing a back- ground check. I still recommend a pay rate of $24.40 per hour. That is the mid -point of the maintenance employee pay scale and is in line with the going rate for plow operators. He will not receive any additional benefits. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Motion to hire Gordon Beck as a temporary, seasonal public works maintenance employee from December 17, 2014 through April 5, 2015 at the rate of $24.40 an hour upon success- ful completion of a background check.
