Revised as of May 12, 2008 @4pm Item No: 7D Meeting Date: May 12, 2008 Type of Business: Council Business City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council ]From: Jim Ericson, Clerk-Administrator Desaree Crane, Assistant City Clerk-Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7271, a Resolution Approving Additional Interim Compensation for Steve Dazenski, Parks Supervisor Background: At the City Council Meeting on April 28, 2008, the City Council authorized additional interim compensation to three individuals within the Public Works Department for additional work they are performing while the City works to hire a new Public Works Director. There was some discussion (May Work Session) about the Parks Supervisor who had taken on additional responsibilities when the former Public Works Supervisor resigned, and whether additional compensation was warranted in this case. Discussion: Prior to the Public Works Director’s resignation, staff had advertised to fill the Public Works Supervisor position, a position which was vacated by Tim Pittman in 2006. Upon learning of Mr. Lee’s intended resignation, it was decided that it made no sense to appoint someone to that position. During the time subsequent to Mr. Pittman’s resignation, Mr. Lee acted somewhat as the Public Works Supervisor, however, the Parks Supervisor, Steve Dazenski, helped to provide the day-to-day supervision and oversight for work crews and shop operations. At the May Work Session, the City Council and Staff discussed additional compensation for Mr. Dazenski. It was the consensus of the City Council to compensate Mr. Dazenski in an amount not to exceed 5% of his regular salary. However, an end date to this compensation was not discussed at this Work Session. Staff would recommend ceasing the compensation when the Public Works Supervisor position has been addressed by the new incoming Public Works Director and City Council.
