employees and the Surface Water / Storm Sewer Maintenance employee to create two separate crews of two employees to maximize efficiency. The duties of the fall seasonal employee in the Parks Division include fall activities such as leaf clean up and providing assistance to both Public Works and Parks in year-end maintenance activities. These positions would start approximately in late August. The Parks Division seasonal employee would work until the end of November. The Public Works Sewer seasonal employee would work until the end of December, weather permitting. Winter Seasonal Employee – This represents one seasonal position that was previously referred to as the Ice Rink Maintenance position. The main duty of this position is to service and maintain the City’s ice rinks and warming houses. This position typically runs from December to February of the following year. In 2006, the City hired a part-time Public Works intern. This part-time intern position has assisted with numerous activities associated with public improvements needed to meet the City’s goals. This position has also allowed the City to provide better communication and increased level of service to the citizens of Mounds View. Proposal for 2009 Seasonals: In 2008, new hires started at the hourly rate of $11.00/hr with the possibility of advancing to $11.50/hr after one month of satisfactory performance. Returning seasonal workers, along with the engineering intern, were compensated at $11.75/hr. Staff recommends the same compensation for 2009. Each summer seasonal employee will work 40 hours per week. The fall seasonal employee and ice rink employee may also work 40 hours per week: however, hours may be fewer. All seasonal positions will remain on staff for a period no longer than six months. Part-time Seasonal Employee: In 2008, the City Council approved a part-time seasonal employee position. The part-time seasonal employee position was advertised with the requirement that a successful applicant would possess a Class A water license. William Hanggi, formally the City’s Lead Utility Worker, is available and is willing to come back to the City as a Part-time seasonal again for 2009. Staff is recommending that the City again attempt to take advantage of this opportunity. Being employed by the City for over 33 years, Mr. Hanggi would be a great asset to help assist the Public Works Department with the Streets and Utilities Project by marking locates (assisting the department in locating water lines, sewer lines and curb stops). Mr. Hanggi, being a former senior employee, was a great asset and information resource for the City for 2008. The wage for the part-time seasonal employee position would be set at $13.25 per hour, as it was last year.
