Discussion of Other Staffing Options. <br /> Mr.Whiting noted that he had considered a number of options for the Human Resource Technician <br /> position and that a logical consideration would be to hire an Intern. He discussed the various options with <br /> his staff and how the Human Resource Technician position could be modified to an Intern position as it <br /> was several years ago. At some point,this position could be moved into an Assistant position to the <br /> Administrator with Human Resource duties and other city administrative duties. He asked for input <br /> from the council. <br /> Council member Koopmeiners asked if the city had looked into hiring a consulting firm. Mr.Kessel <br /> • stated they had talked with two firms who contacted the city,one of which was a placement firm. The <br /> other firm basically assisted with benefit management. Mr.Kessel did not think that this appears to meet <br /> the city's needs. <br /> A discussion followed. Council member Stigney stated he had questions as to the overall cost and funding <br /> for the position.
