.sZ6� 2 MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development DAT(i: October 11, 1984 SUBJECT: ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN/ASSISTANT BIIILDING INSPECTOR POSITION The full-tiri Planning Technician position for the City of Mounds View has been vacant since the end of March, 1994, with the leaving of Frank Kampel for other employment. Due to the City's M.S.A. project, a part-time technician was hired by the name of Brian Hoffman for the purposes of conducting the necessary drafting and inspection work for the M.S.A. project. The M.S.A. project is nearly completed and due to the heavy work load presently in my department and additional needs that will be necessary with the adjustment of the Foreman position, it is now apparent that we will definitely need a full-time Engineering Technician. Also due to the realignment of the Foreman position, building inspection duties will also be necessary and will be done by the Planning Technician,. Therefore, I recommend that we hire Brian Hoffman as a full-time employee to fill the position of Engineering Technician/ -- Assistant Building Inspector. Upon giving you this recommendation I would just like to make note to you that Brian Hoffman, in the M.S.A. project, performed a wide variety of duties which included drafting plans, assisting in the preparation of specifications, supervising and inspecting the contractors involved in the project, assisting in managing and completing the final checklist and completion of the project in its entirety. These duties brought Brian into contact with not only the contractors but also the public involved with the project. His involvement with both parties proved to be very successful and well handled in reducing conflicts and potential problems that could arise with such a project. Therefore, I feel confident that Brian can perform, on a full-time basis for the City of Mounds, the duties that we are outlining for him to do. I have reviewed the engineering budget and projected that by year's end we will be approximately $3,400 over budget. This $3,400 deficit is due to primarily to three reasons which are as follows: 1. The payment of over -time and vacation to Frank Kampel upon his leaving. 2. The extraction of $1,500 from the budget for the Energy Coordinator position. 3. My employment with the City and our contractual agreement superseded what. had initially had been budgeted for 1983.
