She recently interviewed with another organization and received a job offer. However, Ms. Kenow desires to remain with the City of Mounds View and has discussed the possibility of reducing her Evidence Technician work schedule from full-time status to part-time status. She requested to alter her schedule from 40 hours per week to 24 hours per week, and work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Discussion: Ms. Kenow assured the Police Chief and Deputy Chief that with proper scheduling of property pickups on Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s, this portion of the position will not be an issue. Additionally, Ms. Kenow will be able to manage the TAC responsibilities within the time she is in the office. Due to the training Ms. Kenow has received specifically within her role in the Police Department, and length of experience within the position, she is confident she can manage the workload. The Police Chief and Deputy Chief agree, and the HR Committee concur. All are willing to allow the status change to move forward and reevaluate if necessary in the future. The position will remain Grade 5. Ms. Kenow is currently at Step 8 of the pay plan, and advance as scheduled to Step 9 January 1, 2027 (max wage). Benefits will end effective April 1, 2026 as the position is under 30 hours per week.
