Memorandum CONSENT
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Promotion of Part- Time Receptionist Kelly Schmitt to
Office Service Worker Vacancy
DATE: July 14, 2005
INTRODUCTION:
The Council is asked to approve the appointment of current part-time receptionist Kelly
Schmitt to the impending vacancy in the building division office service worker position.
This assumes action elsewhere on the July 19th Council agenda, approving the
Community Development's Directors request to promote Patty Latzke to the vacant
Building Secretary position.
BACKGROUND:
Kelly Schmitt has worked as a part-time receptionist position since August, 2000. She is
dependable and quite capable, and is a natural to fill the vacancy in the building division.
Receipting the building permits is one of the duties of the receptionist; she has been
doing that, plus assisting and directing contractors with questions relating to building
activities, locating addresses on maps, and the like. Our recommendation is to promote
her to that position.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Ms. Schmitt is currently at top Step A of Grade 1 Receptionist ($15.998 per hour). If
appointed, we recommend that she be placed at beginning Step D - $16.52 per hour of
Grade 3, and move to Step C on the new anniversary date, July 25,2006.
Note that she has been working with no benefits since her appointment as a part-time
shared position. This promotion would change her status from part-time without benefits
to full time, and eligible for benefits.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Offer and pass a motion promoting Kelly Schmitt to the position of Office
Service Worker in the building division at pay Step D, Grade 3, subject to the
completion of a one year probationary period, and direct that staff take the
actions necessary to fill the vacant half-time receptionist position.
2. Offer and pass a motion directing staffto advertise the position.
3. Table the item for further information.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends alternative #1.
ACTION REQUIRED:
Offer and pass a motion promoting Kelly Schmitt to the position of Office Service
Worker in the building division at pay Grade 3, Step D, subject to the completion of a
one year probationary period, and take the steps necessary to fill the vacant half-time
receptionist position. /"
