MEMO TO: Mayor 6 C1ty council <br />FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brager <br />ATE: October 2, 1985 <br />RE: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIBACION TO HIRE A FJLL-TIME <br />ACCOUNTING CLERK <br />The Adopted 1986 Budget provides for the hiring of a full-time <br />accounting clerk to be funded from the General, Water and Sewer <br />Funds. During 1985 the Finance Department had a part-time <br />accounting clerk who was recently granted a leave of absence. <br />Staff proposes that the full-time accounting clerk be hired as <br />soon as possible. staff's original intention was to hire a <br />part-time accounting clerk to fill in during the leave of absence <br />of the present part-time accounting clerk. However, on further <br />reflection staff has concluded that it would be more cost <br />effective to hire the full-time accounting clerk now. Our <br />rationale is that the hiring of a part-time accounting clerk for <br />the remainder of 1985 would involve considerable staff time in <br />recruitment and subsequently training for a position which would <br />be only filled for a short period of time. After January 1, 1986 <br />the recruitment process for a full-time accounting clerk would <br />begin and subsequent training of that individual would take <br />place. Since sufficient monies remain in the 1985 Budget at <br />levels adequate to allow a full-time accounting clerk to begin <br />employment during 1985 it seem,, more cost effective to hire that <br />individual now rather than go through twc recruitment and <br />subsequent training processes. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff proposes chet the part-time accounting, clerk's posicior he <br />abolished since the 1986 uudget provides for a full-_ime <br />position. Further staff proposes tr.at a full-time accounting <br />clerk's position be established and authorization he given to <br />advertise for that prsition as soon as possible. <br />DB/ds <br />
