Item 07E Monday, January 24, 2011 Approving the 2011 PW Seasonal Positions Page 2 duties performed in the fall. Duties performed by the Public Works Water Division seasonal employee include assisting with the utility locates and water hydrant and valve maintenance among other duties. The Sewer Division fall seasonal employee is not proposed to be filled for 2011. The duties of the fall seasonal employee in the Parks Division include fall activities such as leaf clean up and providing assistance to both Public Works and Parks in year-end maintenance activities. These positions would start approximately in late August. The Parks Division seasonal employee would work until the end of November. The Public Works Sewer seasonal employee would work until the end of December, weather permitting. Winter Seasonal Employee – In the past, one winter seasonal position was provided to service and maintain the City’s ice rinks and warming houses. This position typically ran from December to February of the following year. Although the position was approved for the 2010/2011 Winter, Staff did not fill this position to assist with budget constraints. Staff is proposing not filling the Winter Seasonal Employee position for the 2011/2012 Winter. Wage Proposal for 2011 Seasonals: Staff recommends no wage increases for 2011 Public Works Seasonals. In 2010, new hire seasonal positions were filled at $11.00/hour, and returning seasonal workers were compensated at $11.75/hour. Each summer seasonal employee will work 40 hours per week. The fall seasonal employees and ice rink employee may also work 40 hours per week: however, hours may be fewer since these positions are often filled with college students. All seasonal positions will remain on staff for a period no longer than six months. Recommendation: Staff recommends approving the Seasonal Public Works Positions for 2011.
