I have met with all employees of the department in question and have concluded an assessment of those who are most impacted by Mr. Lee’s resignation and to what extent their normal job duties are being supplanted by higher classification work or additional workload in general. The following individuals within the public works department, in the opinion of the Clerk-Administrator, should receive additional compensation until such time that a new public works director commences employment: Employee Position % Increase Tracy Juell Administrative Assistant 5% Jim Hess Engineering Technician 5% Nick Fleischhacker Surface Water Maintenance Worker 5% One other public works employee who would be potentially impacted to an extent warranting additional compensation would be Parks Supervisor Steve Dazenski, however in the opinion of the Clerk Administrator, Mr. Dazenski is not assuming any appreciable extra duties as a direct result of Mr. Lee’s departure, however one could certainly maintain that Mr. Dazenski has been serving the City in an expanded capacity since Mr. Pittman’s departure in December of 2006. The one point to be made regarding that is that Mr. Lee apparently did not consider Mr. Dazenski’s expanded role to warrant interim compensation. If however an adjustment is deemed warranted sixteen months after the fact, such authorization could be done at this time. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving Resolution 7265, a resolution approving additional compensation for the Administrative Assistant, the Engineering Technician and the Surface Water Management Technician in an amount not to exceed 5% of their regular respective salaries with such additional compensations to cease upon the effective start date of employment for the new public works director. Respectfully submitted, __________________________ Jim Ericson Clerk Administrator
