Mr. Hammerschmidt is currently doing research projects for <br /> the University of Minnesota which he will be able to complete prior to <br /> beginning his work for the City of Mounds View. <br /> It is understood by Mr. Hammerschmidt that the position of Golf Course <br /> Superintendent is only a temporary one with a specified timeframe and there <br /> are no guarantees of continued employment with the City next Spring. He is <br /> eager to accept the position and very willing to assist the City in the <br /> interim basis until a thorough analysis of the golf course management <br /> organization can be conducted. <br /> Salary will be the $25,000/10 month period or approximately $15.63 per hour <br /> which is the same salary as the current Superintendent who will be leaving <br /> next week to begin his very prestigious educational endeavor at Penn State. <br /> Because John has agreed to a contract status, it is recommended that we <br /> provide a monthly stipend of $200-250 for health insurance, of which he <br /> will pay to his own carrier. John will be providing the City with a <br /> certificate of Workers Compensation Insurance on Tuesday. He will not earn <br /> any benefits. <br /> If Council is comfortable with the basic outline of the Agreement, staff <br /> is requesting the approval of the attached Resolution so that we may bring <br /> John on board next week. <br /> amanth- Orduno, City Administrator <br /> RE.C;OMMENDATION: <br /> Motion to waive the reading and adopt Resolution No. Authorizing the Mayor <br /> and Administrator to execute an Employment Contract with John <br /> Hammerschmidt. <br />
