Ayes — 4 Nays — 0 Motion carried. E. Resolution 8902, Appointing Chris Atkinson as Lead Worker Parks Division and Bruce Meehan as Lead Worker Streets Division. City Administrator Zikmund requested the Council appoint Chris Atkinson as Lead Worker Parks Division and Bruce Meehan to the position of Lead Worker Streets Division. He indicated there was some sense of urgency to this matter which was why this item was placed on the agenda for approval. He explained that because only one person applied for each position interviews were not necessary and the Council could make a recommendation on the positions. Public Works Director Peterson reported he met with Human Resources Technician Ewald to discuss these appointments and noted both individuals were qualified for the lead positions. He noted both candidates would be on a six-month probation period and would undergo leadership training. He explained he would like to have these lead candidates in place in order to assist with the upcoming Public Works Supervisor interviews. Mayor Mueller asked if the City had another lead position within Public Works. Public Works Director Peterson reported the City also had a lead water person and noted this position has been in place for the past 20 years. MOTION/SECOND: Meehlhause/Mueller.
