Item No: 83. Meeting Date: October 22, 2018 Mo S VIEW Type of Business: Consent Agenda Administrator review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9023, Approving the Promotion of Jacob Martin to Housing/Code/Fire Inspector Background: Over the past 20+ years the City undertook the fire inspection duties, however; since Jeremiah Anderson's departure, the City contracted with the Fire Department. Mr. Martin, who just celebrated his second anniversary with the City indicated an interest in taking on the Fire Inspection duties and shadowed the SBM inspector for a measure of time and concluded he was interested. Discussion: There is tremendous cross-over between the housing and fire inspection function, especially in multi -family and thus, significant efficiencies for the city as well as the property owner. Similarly, on other occupancies where code violations occur, having the same individual who performs fire inspections (or vice versa) allows those same efficiencies and relationship to build and develop. Mr. Martin has undertook coursework in Fire Inspection and passed the Minnesota Fire Service Certification Board Fire Inspector I exam which is a nationally accredited certification. Mr. Martin is currently at step 4 or $30.73 of the pay range. The pay range for the Housing/Code/Fire Inspector position is as follows: Step 1 Step 1.5Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 $27.80 $28.67 $29.53 $31.28 $33.01 $34.75 Recommendation: Staff recommends that Mr. Martin be promoted to step 4 or $33.01 of the 2018 Compensation Plan effective October 1, 2018. Mr. Martin would observe a six month probationary period and move to Step 5 on his anniversary which is July 9. Respectfully submitted, Nyl ik n , City Administrator
