MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL ^\ FROM. CLERK-ADMINISTRATOP. DATE: MARCH 23, 1989 SUBJECT: CITY PLANNER As I indicated to you at the March 20, 1989 Agenda Session I made a preliminary offer to Mr. Mark Filipi for the position of City Planner. On Tuesday, March 21st 1 received a call from Mr. Filipi, who advised me that he had decided to accept a position offered to him by the City of St. Paul, which he felt would provide him with a better career path. Mr. Filipi indicated to me that the wage offered by the City of Mounds View was not a factor in his decision. As a result of being informed by Mr. Filipi of his decision not to accept the City's preliminary offer, I contacted the alternate identified b the interview panel for the City Planner's position. This individual is Ms. Michelle Hren of St. Paul, copy of resume and job application attached. Although Ms. Hren does not have the qualifications that Mr. Filipi has, it was felt that by the interview panel that she would be more than capable of performing the duties of the position of City Planner after appropriate break-in period and with some additional training. The interview panel did not feel that any of the other interviewees were acceptable candidates for the position of City Planner. I made a preliminary offer to Ms. Hren, which included a starting salary of $28,000 per year with $1,000 per year increases at 3 and 6 months, a cost of living increase at the end of 1989 and a $1,000 per year wage increase after 12 months of employment assuming acceptable performance. Ms. Hren advised me that she would accept the offer and would be able to start on April 17, 1989. I would ask that you approve the appointment'of Ms. Hren as City Planner for the wages previously indicated. Should you choose not to do so, I would ask that you authorize that the position be readvertised. DFP/MJS Attachment:
