Item No: 8.A. <br />MOUN-DS <br />�jIAT Meeting Date: onsenrBu 20s ♦ ij� Type of Business: Consent Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resources Coordinator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9387, Approving 2021 Public Works Seasonal <br />Positions <br />Introduction: <br />On March 26, 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution 5546, which describes the <br />procedure for hiring Seasonal Employees. This resolution requires the City Council <br />approve all seasonal positions. <br />Discussion: <br />Annually the City Council has approved the hiring of seasonal Public Works positions. <br />Resolution 5546 requires the approval take place six (6) weeks prior to the actual hiring <br />of seasonal staff. <br />Seasonal Employees benefit the City by providing labor services during periods of higher <br />labor demand at much lower pay rates keeping overall labor costs down. In return, <br />seasonal employees benefit from the skills and work ethics they learn on the job. As a <br />result, employees and citizens benefit from the seasonal employee program. <br />Staff is recommending hiring nine (9) seasonal employees for up to 119 consecutive days <br />each in the summer or fall. <br />• Summer Seasonal Employees - Duties include general Public Works and parks <br />maintenance. <br />• Fall Seasonal Employees - Duties by the Parks Division include fall activities such <br />as mowing, leaf clean up, mower maintenance, assisting with brush removal and <br />tree trimming, and providing assistance with year-end maintenance activities. <br />Staff recommends newly hired seasonal positions be compensated at $14.50/hour and <br />returning seasonal workers compensated at $15.00/hour. Each summer seasonal <br />employees may work up to 40 hours per week but will not exceed 119 consecutive <br />calendar days (17 weeks of employment). Fall seasonal employees may work either a <br />part-time or full-time schedule depending on availability. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 9387 Approving the Seasonal Public Works <br />Positions for 2021. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />- �v <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resources Coordinator <br />Attachment(s): 1.
