The senior clerk typist will be compensated as per the “Working out of Classification” policy even if the appointment is for less than two months. 3. Continue to have the community service officer work full-time assisting with administrative duties until such time as a temporary administrative assistant is hired. The community service officer’s vacation and sick leave accruals will be adjusted to reflect full-time status.

Bring in a temporary employee to fill the administrative assistant’s position and return the senior clerk typist and community service offer to their regular positions and hours. Staff has located an individual who has previous experience working in police departments in an administrative capacity. The individual has been hired by other cities to fill in on a temporary basis. Staff will have additional information regarding work hours and compensation at Monday’s meeting.
