Mounds View City Council September 24, 2001 <br />Regular Meeting Page 7 <br />1 <br />Assistant to the Administrator Reed apologized for the confusion and explained that Mr. Hanson <br />had left Brooklyn Center earlier this year in search of another position. <br />Council Member Stigney noted that, in his opinion, the fact that Mr. Hanson left Brooklyn <br />Center earlier this year creating a gap in work history is relevant information Council should <br />have been made aware o£ He then noted Council has not seen Mr. Hanson's resume and <br />questioned how Council could approve the appointment without all the pertinent information. <br />Assistant to the Administrator Reed explained that Mr. Hanson did work for the city of Brooklyn <br />Center and noted that the recommendation for hiring him is contingent upon references being <br />checked. She further noted that Mr. Hanson has indicated that his former supervisor can be <br />contacted for a reference and that leads her to believe the relationship was solid at the time of his <br />leaving the City of Brooklyn Center. <br />MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty.

Discussion Regarding Public Works Staffing <br />Public Works Foreman Pittman addressed Council and noted that Council had approved another <br />person in the surface water management area of public works in 1993 and that position is not <br />filled. He then indicated that, with the retirement of Mr. Decheine, the department is short- <br />staffed and needs to get the position filled prior to the winter plowing season. <br />Council Member Quick asked whether working short-staffed would subtract from the ability to <br />do the required maintenance and keep service at the present levels. <br />Mr. Pittman indicated that working short-staffed would have an impact on the present levels of <br />service. He then explained to Council that public works had been using a part timer to bring the <br />maintenance numbers for the sewers up but noted that, with the retirement of Mr. Decheine, and <br />the part timer going back to school, the numbers would be going down again without the <br />additional person. <br />u <br />
