Home My WebLink About5.E.2. Extension of Sharon Proskin's Part-time Employment City of Shako pee 5. E ~ ~. MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator CONSEf~T FR: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator SUBJECT: Extension of Sharon Proskin's Part-Time Employment DATE: October 31, 2008 Introduction The City Council is asked to authorize the continuation of Sharon Proskin's employment as a part-time Records Specialist with the Police Department. Background Sharon Proskin has worked for the City since November of2001. In May of this year she asked to reduce her hours from the 30 hours per week she was working to 15 hours per week, ending in her retirement on November 30 of this year. The City Council approved this reduction in hours at their May 20 meeting. Furthermore, given the City's budget situation and the fact that we had a written notice from Ms. Proskin of her intent to retire completely on November 30, her original % time position was not funded in the preliminary 2009 budget. In recent months another full-time Records Specialist and a Community Service Officer have resigned their positions, leaving the Police Department short staffed in the records management and customer service area. Given the process for filling a Civil Service position, it is likely to be early 2009 before we have these positions filled. Additionally, Ms. Proskin has expressed an interest in continuing to work 15 hours per week beyond heroriginally stated retirement date of November 30. Therefore, the Department is seeking Council's approval to have Ms. Proskin continue working 15 hours per week past the original retirement date of November 30 and until such time as the full-time Records Specialist position can be filled. Budget Impact The cost of Ms. Proskin's wages can be accommodated within the Police Department budget during the period that the full-time Records Specialist position is vacant. Relationship to Vision This is a housekeeping item. Recommendation Staff recommends that Council authorize continued part-time employment for Ms. Proskin until such time as the currently vacant Records Specialist position is filled. Requested Action: Ifit concurs, Council is asked to offer a motion to continue Ms. Proskin's employment as a part-time Records Specialist with the Police Department until such time as the currently vacant full-time Records Specialist position is filled.
