1 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brager �!\ DATE: July 22, 1982 RE: TEMPORARY HELP DURING ACCOUNTANT'S SICKLEAVE OF ABSENCE At the last Agenda session we discussed temporary help during the accountant's sickleave of absence. At that time I indicated to you the possibility of hiring an individual directly rather than using a temporary help service. The individual whom I had in mind was unwilling to work the hours that I felt necessary for the efficient operation of the department. I further considered using the Police Department's part time secretary on a part time basis. After speaking with the Chief of Police in regard to the hours that they needed this individual and in reviewing the needs of the department and the deadlines which must be met for accounts payable and payroll I determined that we could not utilize the services of the part time Police Department secretary due to conflicts in scheduling. I then reviewed the Finance Department's workload in the next four to six weeks and realized that it is imperative to have an account- ant on a full time 'basis rather than the three fourths tim^. that we talked about at the Agenda session. During the next four to six weeks the department will be working on budget, special assess- ments for the Silver Lake Woods Project and elections. In order to accomplish those tasks, as well as the normal department's tasks of accounts payable, payroll, monthly financial reports, and other reports which are performed on a monthly basis it is necessary to have the services of a full time accountant. I therefore request Council authorization to use the services of a temporary help agency at a cost not exceeding $2,040.00. This would be six weeks at $8.50 an hour. If you have any questions please dr not hesitate to contact me. DB/ds cc: Clerk -Administrator Pauley
