MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development <br />DATE: January 20, 1983 <br />SUBJECT: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPOINTMENT OF TIMOTHY <br />J. PITTMAN AS PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCE PERSON <br />Attached is a copy of Resolution No. 1559 for Council's consid- <br />eration as it relates to the hiring of Timothy J. Pittman as a <br />Public Works Maintenance Person. <br />As previously discussed with the Council, staff was requested to <br />fill a vacancy for a maintenance person in our Sewer Department. <br />We were looking for an individual with a minimum of three years <br />experience in the sewer and street construction or maintenance <br />areas, and an individual who was capable of also working in our <br />other maintenance areas such as water and park maintenance. An <br />advertisement was placed in the St. Paul and Minneapolis Sunday <br />want ad sections along with the New Brighton Bulletin. We <br />received nearly 60 applications for the position and preliminary <br />screening was conducted by myself and Mr. Kardell to narrow the <br />selection process down to the 10 or 15 most qualified candidates <br />from the 15 most qualified personnel. We contaced 6 people, 5 <br />lI of them arranged for appointments and appeared at the interview. <br />it was conducted by Bruce Anderson, Gary Kardell and myself on <br />November 30, 1982. During the preliminary screening process, <br />references of the 10 most qualified individuals were also checked. <br />Mr. Pittman brings to the City some talents that we at the staff <br />level feel will be very complimentary to our maintenance depart- <br />ment. Mr. Pittman is a Mounds View resident and has previous <br />experience working in the parks and recreation maintenance depart- <br />ment during the years 1974 to 1977 as a part time employee. <br />Mr. Pittman entered the U.S. Army in 1977 and has spent his time <br />as a mechanic in the motor pool doing a number of miscellaneous <br />jobs relating to equipment maintenance, carpentry and masonry. <br />After the interview process was completed, Mr. Kardell, Mr. Anderson <br />and myself discussed the applicant's capabilities, strong and week <br />points and concluded the following recommendation to hire Mr. Pittman. <br />If you have any questions concerning the process and/or the quali- <br />fication of Mr. Pittman, please contact myself or Mr. Kardell. <br />JCJ/bc <br />attachment <br />cc: Bruce Anderson <br />Gary Kardell <br />Don Pauley <br />
