MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: FEBRUARY 27, 1990 SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION FOR APPROVAL TO HIRE SEASONAL PARKS GROUNDSKEEPERS AND PARKS GROUNDSKEEPER SUPERVISOR All four parks groundskeepers from last year have been asked to return for the 1990 season. One of last year's employees requested the Supervisor's position. Both Mike Ulrich and I agree that Al Miskowiec is an excellent employee. He has proved to be responsible and can easily take and give direction. As a college senior, he will be the oldest of the groundskeepers. Foreman Ulrich especially notes that Al's prior experience and knowledge of the duties and procedures at the Maintenance Garage provides a benefit because it alleviates the necessity to train in a supervisor. The other three returning from last year include Bill Sjulstad, Rick Ramacher and Tim Hetland. All three performed well last year and were encouraged to return in 1990. The fourth and new choice is David Mork, a college sophomore and Mounds View resident. David has previously worked as a seasonal employee for the City of • Columbia Heights public works for the past two summers. His references are excellent and he has athletic field user experience so understands the needs of the players using park facilities. The job descriptions for both positions are attached. RECOMMENDATION: To consider approval for hiring Tim Hetland, Bill Sjulstad, Rick Ramacher, and David Mork as seasonal parks groundskeepers at a wage of $6.00/hour, each not to exceed 100 hours; and to consider approval for hiring Allen Miskowiec as seasonal parks groundskeeper supervisor at a wage of $6.50/hour not to exceed 100 hours. The funding as budgeted in Parks part-time employment 100-4360- 020-000. MS/SL • .‘.
