Item 04 <br />Monday, February 1, 2010 Work Session <br />Hiring Public Works Seasonal Employees for 2010 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The duties of the fall seasonal employee in the Parks Division include fall activities such as leaf <br />clean up and providing assistance to both Public Works and Parks in year-end maintenance <br />activities. These positions would start approximately in late August. The Parks Division seasonal <br />employee would work until the end of November. The Public Works Sewer seasonal employee <br />would work until the end of December, weather permitting. <br /> <br />Winter Seasonal Employee – This represents one seasonal position that was previously referred <br />to as the Ice Rink Maintenance position. The main duty of this position is to service and maintain <br />the City’s ice rinks and warming houses. This position typically runs from December to February <br />of the following year. <br /> <br /> <br />Wage Proposal for 2010 Seasonals: <br />Staff recommends no wage increases for 2010 Public Works Seasonals. In 2009, new hire <br />seasonal positions were filled at $11.00/hour, and returning seasonal workers were <br />compensated at $11.75/hour. Each summer seasonal employee will work 40 hours per week. <br />The fall seasonal employee and ice rink employee may also work 40 hours per week: however, <br />hours may be fewer. All seasonal positions will remain on staff for a period no longer than six <br />months. <br /> <br />Part-time Seasonal Employee: <br /> <br />In 2008 and 2009, the City Council approved a part-time seasonal employee position. This part- <br />time seasonal employee position was advertised in the past with the requirement that a <br />successful applicant would possess a Class A water license. This position is no longer <br />necessary, and therefore, should be classified as a regular seasonal position. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends hiring nine (9) total seasonal positions for 2010 with no wage increases. If <br />the City Council is in agreement, then Staff will present a resolution for City Council approval at <br />the next City Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Desaree Crane <br />Assistant City Clerk - Administrator
