MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry DATE: ,Lune 21, 1984 RE: Resolution #1753 Attached is a copy of Resolution #1753 requesting staff authori- zation to increase the salary rates of Deanna Mortenson and Dan Otterson who are summer J.P.T.A. employees. The City of Mounds View currently has nine employees on the summer J.P.T.A. program providing a variety of services to Mounds View residents ranging from summer locker room attendant to clerical assistant in the Parks and Recreation Dept. We are fortunate to have two exceptional employees on the summer J.P.T.A. program that have worked for the City of Mounds View in prior summers working as both a summer clerical assistant in the Parks and Recreation Dept. and a summer maintenance employee. Ms. Deanna Mortenson has been employed with the Park and Recrea- tion Dept. for the past three summers and has proven to be a valued and competent employee. Ms. Mortenson has been paid $4.00 per hour for the past two summers as a summer clerical assistant and staff is requesting that her pay rate be increased to $4.50 which would mean a $1.15 per hour subsidy from the general fund. Staff feels that Ms Mortenson's skills, background and past experience with our department justifies the additional $.50 increase over the past two years and the additional monies are available in the general recreation fund. The total cost to increase Ms. Mortunson's salary to $4.50 would be $644.00 based on 14 weeks of summer employment. As staff indicated, there is an additional $850.00 in the 100-350-4304 account, as we hired one less playground instructor as originally projected. In addition, staff is fortunate to have Mr. Dan Otterson back for the third year as a summer J.P.T.A. employee. Dan has worked in a variety of positions in both our turf maintenance and forestry department. Dan is currently supervising two other summer J.P.T.A. employees and staff feels that his increased responsi- bilities justify a $.65 per hour increase above the $3.35 pay rate of J.P.T.A. The additional $.65 per hour for Mr. Otterson would be a total of $364.00 based on 14 weeks and there is an additional $400.00 balance in the 100-360-4020 part-time park maintenance employee fund that could be used to subsidize Mr. Otterson's wages. Staff feels that both employees have served the City well and their past experience and education justify the small increases proposed. Should you have any questions regarding s aff's recom- mendations, feel free to contact myself directly rt 784-3055, ext. #41. RECOMMENDATION: To subsidize Deanna ' employee wages $1.15 per hour and J.P.T.A. employee wages $.65 per hour. BKA/sll Mortenson's summer J.P.T.A. Mr. Dan Otterson's summer
