Item No. 5F Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 5933 appointing Michael Schnur to a vacancy in the Water Division of the Public Works Meeting Date: January 27, 2003 Background On March 11, 2002, a Public Works employee resigned his position with the City. On August 12, 2002 the Mounds View City Council requested that the Public Works Department review the current staffing levels and quantify impacts on service in the event there is a reduction in these levels. This information was presented to Council on September 3, 2002. As a result, Council granted authorization to advertise for the vacant position. On December 31, 2002, Bill Hanson, a thirty-year (30) veteran of Public Works, resigned from the Water Division. This left two vacancies in Public Works. On January 6, 2003 City Council discussed the two vacant positions and a request for a seasonal employee. Council directed Staff to bring this issue before them at the next Council meeting to approve a seasonal employee and to grant the authorization to advertise for the two vacant Public Works Positions. Discussion As required by Article 16 of the Labor Agreement between the Public Works Employees and the City of Mounds View, on January 8, 2003, Staff advertised internally for the vacant position in the Water Division. The vacant position in the Surface Water Division was advertised in early 2002. An employment application for the Water Division position was submitted by Michael Schnur. Mr. Schnur was employed by the City of Mounds View in 1997 as a seasonal employee and was hired as a full-time maintenance employee in 1998. Mr. Schnur is currently in the Sanitary Sewer Division.
