MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council <br />FROM:, Public Works Foreman Rose�lb <br />4 DATE: April 16, 1987 <br />SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO ADVERTISE FOR MAINTENANCE II POSITION <br />A member of the Public Works crew, Chris Weston, has been out on <br />a Workman's Comp. claim since spring of last year. His current <br />and projected physical limitations prohibit him from being able <br />to do the work required of the Maintenance II position. It is <br />unfortunate the injury prohibits Mr. Weston from coming back at <br />this time. The process of retraining for safe employment for <br />Mr. Weston has been started by the City's insurance carrier. <br />Although his status could change in the future, it is unlikely. <br />This status has been discussed with the City Attorney and a <br />business representative for the Union. Due to the workload and <br />immediate need for additional manpower, Staff requests <br />authorization to advertise and start the selection process for <br />recommendation to the City Council. <br />The process of selection would include review of the applications <br />and interviewing the best 10-15 applicants. The interview <br />process would include a Public Works person and myself. If <br />someone from City Hall has the time and energy for the interview <br />process, they would be welcome also. The City could advertise in <br />the New Brighton Bulletin and St. Paul Dispatch, Metro Section, <br />Sunday addition. Please note that I am requesting a Maintenance <br />II position, ultimately, even though the individual will start as <br />a Maintenance I. After a successful probationary period of 6 <br />months and an additional 6 months training, the individual would <br />probably be recommended for the Maintenance II level. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends advertising for a Maintenance <br />II �Positio n the Public Works Department. <br />SAR/bac <br />
