<br />The top candidate would start at Step One, progress to Step Two in six months, to Step 3 after <br />twelve months, Step 4 after twenty-four months and finally Step 5 after thirty-six months of <br />employment in accordance with the Mounds View Personnel Manual and current AFSCME <br />Labor Agreement. As stated previously, AFSCME is in negotiations with the City for a new <br />2006-2007 contract, and the starting salary for this position will be in accordance with the most <br />current AFSCME Labor Agreement. <br /> <br />Due to the present personnel levels at the City, Staff did request at the Work Session <br />permission to start looking at temp agencies to help fill the void in the position until a <br />candidate is hired. Marge Norquist, Part-Time Account Clerk for the Finance Department, has <br />volunteered to work full time on a temporary basis (not to exceed 60 days), until a receptionist <br />is hired. This will eliminate the need to hire a temporary employee, however, Ms. Norquist <br />would be assigned to many of the duties of the Receptionist, except the duties of the <br />Recycling Coordinator. Staff will be submitting a Memorandum of Understanding to the <br />AFSCME Labor Union on Monday, August 14th, to state that Marge Norquist will be full time <br />on a temporary basis not to exceed 60 days. Ms. Norquist would not be collecting any <br />additional benefits due to this temporary change to a full time status. Staff anticipates on <br />having a top candidate presented to the City Council at the September 11th meeting. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution authorizing staff to start the hiring <br />process of a replacement Receptionist in the Administration Department. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Desaree M.
