CITY OF SHAKO PEE
Memorandum
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Discussion on Mechanic's Assistant Position for the
Public Works Shop Division
DATE: March 16,2004
INTRODUCTION:
This item is to discuss options with the Mechanic's Assistant job position and get Council
direction on how to proceed. with filling a third full time mechanic position. This item
was discussed at the February 17, 2004 meeting, and was tabled by Council for additional
information. This item should be removed from the table in order to discuss this item
agam.
BACKGROUND:
The 2004 Budget, included in the Shop Division, a third full time mechanic to meet the
needs of maintaining and repairing the equipment in the Street, Park, Engineering,
Building, Administration, Police, Fire and SPUC vehicles. Attached to this
memorandum for Council review and consideration are the following:
. Revised Mechanic job description.
. Mechanic's Assistant job description.
. Mechanic's Helper job description.
. Mechanic's Helper job description and Promotional Program from the City of
Coon Rapids
The main items of Council concern from the February 17,2004 meeting, was whether or
not this position should be required to supply hand tools as part of the job requirements
and whether or not this is the right job position needed for the Shop Division in meeting
the needs of maintaining the equipment owned by the City of Shakopee.
The City has been utilizing a third person working full time temporary for the past year in
2003 and so far in 2004 as a Mechanic's Helper and at Grade H of the Part-Time Pay
Plan. The Union has allowed for a temporary full-time employee until March 31, 2004.
This person has been utilizing an existing toolbox with existing hand tools in doing repair
work.
In regard to the position for a third person working in the Shop performing mechanic
work, staff did consider another mechanic or a mechanic's assistant or helper position.
The Mechanic's Assistant position was proposed in order to have a person performing
more of the routine and preventative mechanic tasks to free up the time of the two full
time mechanics. Staff s rationale in this matter is that for one year we have been meeting
the vehicle maintenance needs with a full time temporary mechanic's helper.
One example of another mechanic's position is the city of Coon Rapids which has three
mechanic's helpers and two mechanics for vehicle maintenance. The City of Coon
Rapids utilizes the Mechanic's Helper pO,sition, which is similar to the proposed
Mechanic's Assistant as a starting point for all mechanics. Their program is such that a
mechanic must meet a service requirement and pass a promotional examination before
being considered for a mechanic's position. This examination consists of the appropriate
ASE certification tests for the Public Works vehicle maintenance areas.
In checking with the City of Coon Rapids, their Mechanic's Helper position is very
similar to the proposed Mechanic's Assistant position. The pay range is $14.87/Hr. to
$20.29/Hr. for 2003 and is on an eight-step pay plan. The proposed Mechanic's Assistant
is rated similar to a Maintenance Operator's position with a 2003 pay range of $ 1 6. 56/Hr.
to $20.11/Hr. The final salary would need to be negotiated with the Public Work's Union
and the City Council.
The other possibility is for the city to make the existing temporary Mechanic's Helper
position full time. This position is for a person performing routine and preventative
mechanic tasks and assisting full time mechanics which we are currently doing.
Staff is seeking Council direction or proceeding with the hiring of a third full-time person
performing mechanic work for the City of Shakopee. Staff believes the options available
are as follows:
1. Authorize the hiring of another full-time Mechanic.
2. Authorize the hiring of a Mechanic's Assistant position or Mechanic's Helper
position similar to the City of Coon Rapids.
3. Authorize the hiring of a Mechanic Helper's position such as the city's mechanic
helper position and making this full time.
The duties of fleet maintenance for the City, especially with the addition of Fire
Department's vehicles and increased vehicles over the years from other department is
such that a third person is needed.
In reviewing the growth of the Shop Division, one mechanic was authorized initially to
perform vehicle maintenance and repairs with assistance of maintenance operators. In
1993, a second mechanic was added due to the increase of vehicles to maintain and to
reduce the time of maintenance operators for maintenance of vehicles. The growth of the
City since 1993.is well documented and correspondingly is a growth in .vehicles and
vehicle maintenance and repair. In addition, the maintenance of the Fire Department's
vehicles has been added, which accounted for 465.50 hours of mechanic time in 2003.
In summary, staff is seeking Council direction on a third full-time position in the Shop
Division performing mechanic work.
Staff would recommend the City consider adding a Mechanic's Assistant position similar
to the Mechanic's Helper position with the City of Coon Rapids or consider making the
city's mechanic's helper temporary position full time. Also City Council can direct staff
to hire another full time mechanic. Any revised job descriptions or promotional
programs would be back to City Council for review and approval.
The proposed Mechanic's Assistant position was rated by Rod Kelsey, of Riley, Dettman,
& Kelsey who was the City's consultant in regard to the pay plan and has been utilized
the past few years. The Mechanic's Assistant position is rated less than a full time
mechanic and this job would also have the Mechanic's Assistant position available for
snow plowing and other duties if needed for operations of the Public Works Department.
Mr. Kelsey is rating the city's mechanic's helper position for pay and this information
should be available at the time of Tuesday's meeting.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Direct staff to begin the hiring process for a Mechanic position as presented or as
modified by Council.
2. Direct staff to begin the hiring process for a Mechanic's Assistant position as
presented or as modified by Council.
3. Direct staff to begin the hiring process for the Mechanic's Helper position as
presented or as modified by Council.
4. Do not authorize any hiring at this time.
5. Table for additional information as directed by Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff would recommend the hiring of a full time person in the Shop Division to assist the
existing two full time mechanics in performing more of the routine and preventative
mechanic tasks. The final recommendation from staff will depend on the pay rating for
the full time mechanic's helper position. A promotional program such as the city of
Coon Rapids Mechanic's Helper position is an idea worth pursing if Council is interested
in mechanics achieving a certain ASE certification level.
ACTION REQUESTED:
If Council concurs, approve a motion, directing staff to begin the hiring process for a
Mechanic position, or a Mechanic's Assistant position, or a Mechanic's Helper
position as presented or as modified by Council.
