B. Consideration of Golf Course Manager's Request for Approval to Hire
Seasonal Temporary Workers.
City Administrator Miller noted the Golf Course Manager had requested approval to hire
additional temporary seasonal personnel for the 2001 season as some of the seasonal employees
hired are not available to start immediately.
Council Member Thomas inquired as to what the Golf Course Manager meant by temporary.
City Administrator Miller indicated the positions would be filled only until such time as the
seasonal employee is available.
Mayor Sonterre asked if the individuals to be hired would be informed that they are temporary,
short-term employees and may only work one to three weeks. He then asked the City Attorney if
the City would be responsible for unemployment when the employees are laid off shortly after
being hired.
City Attorney Riggs explained that all the golf course employees are hired for a defined period
and, therefore, the City would not be obligated for unemployment for those employees.
Mayor Sonterre suggested using a temporary agency to provide workers due to the short time
• frame these workers are needed and the time involved to hire someone for such a short amount of
time.
City Administrator Miller explained that hiring the workers would cost the City between $6.50
and $7.00 per hour and if the City used a temporary agency the hourly fee would be much higher.
Council Member Stigney suggested leaving the actual hiring up to the discretion of the Golf
Course Manager.
City Administrator Miller indicated she recommended the first of the two options listed in the
staff report.
MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Approve the Options in the Staff Report.
Council Member Stigney asked City Administrator Miller to clarify why she recommended the
first option in the staff report.
City Administrator Miller indicated option one would give the Golf Course Manager the
flexibility to hire temporary help as needed.
Council Member Quick withdrew his motion and Council Member Marty withdrew his second.
. Council Member Stigney indicated that option two seemed to be the option that would give the
Golf Course Manager the flexibility to hire temporary staff on an as needed basis.
