Item No. 3C <br />Meeting Date: March 4, 2002 <br />Type of Business: WK <br />WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; <br />CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Givonna Reed, Assistant City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Reclassification of PW Foreman Position <br />Date of Report: February 27, 2002 <br /> <br />As you know, prior to his departure, the former Public Works Director, Mike Ulrich, <br />revised the position description for the Public Works Foreman and asked the Council to <br />consider reclassifying the position to a Maintenance Supervisor. The Council indicated <br />that it would consider this issue in conjunction with the 2002 budget. <br /> <br />Ann Antonsen of Labor Relations Associates has reviewed the revised position <br />description but did not recommend a salary adjustment for the Public Works Foreman <br />position. After reviewing the proposed Maintenance Supervisor position description, Ms. <br />Antonsen indicated that it resembles a PW Superintendent (which is higher than a <br />Supervisor) and, therefore, impedes considerably on the role of the Public Works <br />Director and, thus, greatly diminishes the need for a Public Works Director. <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />• 1992 <br />o Mike Ulrich promoted from PW Foreman to PW Supervisor <br />o PW Foreman position eliminated. <br /> <br />• 1994 <br />o Mike Ulrich promoted from Supervisor to PW Director <br />o Tim Pittman promoted from Maintenance Worker to Leadman to serve as <br />second-in-command. <br />o Supervisor position eliminated. <br /> <br />• 1996 <br />o PW Foreman position “re-created” and Tim Pittman promoted to this <br />position. <br /> <br />• 1998 <br />o City switched from PDI to HAY job evaluation system <br />o PW Foreman position pointed at 385 <br /> <br />
