MOUNDS VIEW <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />Item No: 7F <br />Meeting Date: Marchl1, 2013 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nick DeBar, Public Works Director & <br />Desaree Crane, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8073, Approving a Revised Position Description for <br />Seasonal Maintenance Worker in the Public Works Department <br />Background/Discussion: <br />To address the higher workload demand during summer and non -winter months, the Public <br />Works Department employs temporary seasonal maintenance workers. This arrangement <br />has worked very well for the City by providing the necessary semi -skilled work force during <br />peak work demands while not being encumbered with permanent employees with higher <br />wages and benefits. The City Council recently approved the 2013 seasonal maintenance <br />worker positions on February 11, 2013 (Res. 8060). <br />The current position description for the seasonal maintenance worker was drafted in 1997 <br />and has never been revised (see attached). This original job description was brief and not <br />very descriptive. Duties of the various maintenance subdivisions were not broken out, so it <br />would be unclear to potential applicants looking at this version what duties and functions <br />would be performed with these subdivisions. <br />The position description has been reviewed and is proposed to be revised (see attached). <br />There has been much more detail put into the position description, with essential duties and <br />responsibilities broken out for the three maintenance subdivisions (parks, streets, and <br />utilities). None of the proposed revisions change the current intent the position, but rather, <br />provides a much better representation of actual job duties and requirements. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution that will approve the <br />revised position description for the seasonal maintenance worker. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />�N L <br />Nick DeBar <br />Public Works Director <br />Attachments: <br />• Existing and Proposed Position Description <br />• Resolution 8073 <br />Desaree Crane <br />Assistant City Administrator <br />
