Item No: 09K <br />Meeting Date: May 23, 2005 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City Administrator Review: _________ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Charles Hansen, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 6531, a Resolution Appointing <br />Mary Tatarek to be Interim Finance Director and <br />Authorizing Additional Compensation for Working Outside <br />of Job Classification <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The Finance Director will be departing the City on May 24, 2005, to take the Finance Director <br />job with the City of Crystal. The City is in the process of recruiting to fill this position. In order <br />to maintain the day-to-day activities with the Finance Department, someone from the <br />Department should be assigned to take on those duties until the Finance Director position is <br />filled. The Mounds View Accountant, Mary Tatarek is willing to step in to fill the void by <br />providing additional support above and beyond her typical responsibilities. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />The Personnel Manual allows for additional compensation to be paid to employees performing <br />higher classification duties, so long as the duration of the work exceeds two months and that <br />the employee is assuming 75% or more of the higher classification duties. In this case, both of <br />these requirements are satisfied. <br /> <br />Mary Tatarek will be taking on more managerial and administrative functions including: budget <br />preparation, cash management, accounts payable supervision, debt service payments, and <br />handling insurance claims. Some other duties will be picked up by consultants already under <br />contract with the City. During the summer months, budget preparation is the duty that takes up <br />the majority of the Finance Director’s time. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is recommend that Mary Tatarek be compensated by an additional 10% per the policy <br />established in Resolution 5626, effective May 25, 2005, until the new Finance Director has <br />been hired. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />___________________ <br />Charles Hansen <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
