Acting on this direction from City Council, Staff proceeded by <br />advertising for these two positions in the City’s official newspaper, the New <br />Brighton-Mounds View Bulletin, and the Star Tribune. <br /> <br />The City received a total of forty-five (45) applications for the two positions. The <br />applications were pointed and interviews were scheduled with fourteen <br />applicants. The interview committee consisted of the Public Works Director, the <br />Public Works Foreman, and the Public Works Administrative Assistant. First- <br />round interviews were held the week of March 10th. The field of candidates was <br />then narrowed to four applicants. Second-round interviews, which included a tour <br />of Public Works building and a casual meeting with all members of the Public <br />Works Department, were held the week of March 24th. <br /> <br />On April 14, 2003, City Council Approved Resolution No. 5987 hiring Jeffery <br />Hayes as a Sanitary Sewer Maintenance Employee. Mr. Hayes originally <br />accepted the offer, but later declined it citing counter offers and satisfaction with <br />current employment. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Considering the situation, Staff reviewed the credentials of the two remaining <br />candidates of the original four finalists for the positions. Staff was unable to <br />contact one of the candidates, thus leaving one remaining finalist, Nick <br />Fleischhacker. The interview committee consulted and agreed that Nick <br />Fleischhacker would meet and exceed all requirements of a Sanitary Sewer <br />Maintenance Employee. <br /> <br />Mr. Fleischhacker is currently employed as a Seasonal Employee for the City of <br />Mounds View, and has been employed by the City for the last four seasons – a <br />total of 3,261 hours. Mr. Fleischhacker already has Public Works experience and
