Staff interviewed eight (8) qualified candidates, and conducted <br />second interviews on the top two (2) candidates. It was the consensus of Staff to recommend Sherri <br />Eisenbraun to the position of Permit Technician. <br /> <br />Sherri Eisenbraun has a Permit Technician certification, and is currently working at the City of Arden <br />Hills since October of 2008 as the Office Support Specialist/Permit Technician. If hired, Ms. <br />Eisenbraun would start at Step 4 of the Pay Scale at $27.00/hour; with an increase to Step 5 of the <br />salary range (currently $28.42/hour) after one year of employment. All increases are subject to a <br />satisfactory performance evaluation. All other City benefits and personnel policies will apply as stated <br />in the Mounds View Personnel Manual. <br /> <br />Reference checks are satisfactory. <br /> <br />Staff has not received criminal background checks and credit checks on Ms. Eisenbraun. This <br />appointment would be contingent on receiving satisfactory reports. <br /> <br />Sherri Eisenbraun would begin employment on or about January 17, 2017. <br /> <br />This is a full-time, non-union, non-exempt position. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution 8690, hiring Sherri Eisenbraun to the position of <br />Permit Technician contingent on receiving satisfactory criminal background and credit reports. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Desaree Crane
