Item No: 06F <br />017 <br />MOUNDS MW Meeting Date: August C sent <br />V Type of Business: Consent <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />NONNI <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Subject: Resolution 8820, Authorizing the Hire of Barbara Benesch on a Part- <br />time Temporary Basis to Provide Administrative Assistance <br />Introduction: <br />Staffing in City Hall is going through some transition with the resignations of the Public Works <br />Director and Assistant City Administrator positions. There is an immediate need for <br />administrative assistance in both the administration and public works departments. Recently <br />retired (2016) employee Barb Benesch has expressed a desire to assist the City during this time <br />of transition on a part-time, temporary basis. Given her years of experience and extensive skill <br />set, Ms. Benesch would be a welcomed addition to the staff, even if on a temporary basis. <br />Discussion: <br />I have met with Ms. Benesch who is willing to assist the City during this time of transition. <br />Possible duties would include business licensing, document management, Fee Schedule <br />updates, public hearing postings, management of approved resolutions and adopted ordinances, <br />follow up of approved City Council minutes, and other duties as may be assigned. The <br />temporary, part-time position would start on or after August 29, 2017. Ms. Benesch would be a <br />valuable resource to the newly selected interim City Administrator. <br />The hourly rate for the position would be $28.42 and the hours would be capped at no more than <br />40 per pay period. While no holiday pay, sick leave or vacation pay would accrue with this <br />temporary, part time position, the City is willing to provide 8 hours of personal leave for every 240 <br />hours worked. The temporary, part-time position would not qualify for insurance benefits. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 8820, approving the hire of Barbara <br />Benesch on a part-time, temporary basis, to assist the administration and public works <br />departments with administrative matters as indicated and as needed. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />'ja" 'E�,C-z...-- <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />
