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 lower pay rates, keeping overall labor costs down. In return, seasonal <br />employees benefit from the skills and work ethics they learn on the job. As a result, <br />employees and citizens benefit from the seasonal employee program. <br />Staff is recommending hiring seven (7) seasonal employees for up to 119 consecutive <br />days 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 in year-end maintenance activities. <br />Staff recommends newly hired seasonal positions be compensated at $17.00 17.50/hour <br />and returning seasonal workers compensated at $4-7:. 18.00/hour. Each summer <br />seasonal employee may work up to 40 hours per week, not to exceed 119 consecutive <br />calendar days (17 weeks of employment). Employees completing 14 or more weeks of <br />the season would receive $250 (pro -rated based on weeks completed) on their last <br />paycheck. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution 9873 Authorizing Recruitment Process for <br />2024 Seasonal Public Works Positions. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />i��ff <br />Rayla Sue Ewald <br />Human Resources Director <br />Attachment(s): 1.
