Item No. 09D Type of Business: Consent Meeting Date: June 27, 2005 City Administrator Review: _____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: James Ericson, Community Development Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6570, Approving an Agreement with Ms. Kristin Prososki to Provide Interim Planning Services Background Kristin Prososki has resigned from her position of Planning Associate leaving the Community Development Department with a staffing deficiency during a critical time of the year. Ms. Prososki has offered to assist the department with planning work on an as- needed basis after hours until such time as a replacement is found. The City has contracted with former employees in the past during periods of position vacancies, most recently with the authorization of former finance director Charlie Hansen. Discussion Attached is Resolution 6570 approving an agreement with Ms. Kristin Prososki to provide interim planning services at a rate of $30 per hour. Staff believes that this represents a good option for the City due to Ms. Prososki’s knowledge of the City’s codes and regulations and familiarity with ongoing projects. The cost to bring in a consultant to provide emergency back up planning assistance would be at least $100 per hour. Such an arrangement would be on an independent consultant basis. Approving this resolution would also open the door to having Ms. Prososki return on a temporary basis if the state of Minnesota were to lay-off all non-essential employees. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Council approve Resolution 6570 approving an agreement with Ms. Prososki to provide interim Planning services as needed. Respectfully submitted, ________________________ Jim Ericson Community Development Director
