CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark Themig, Facilities and Recreation Director
Meeting Date: April 20, 2004
Subject: Accept Custodian Resignations and Authorize Hiring One Custodian
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to accept the resignations of custodians Marvin Melander and
Thomas McEachern, and to appoint Richard Hartwell to fill one of the vacancies,
contingent upon successful completion of the pre-employment physical and background
checks.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Mr. Melander and Mr. McEachern were recently appointed to two of the newly created
custodian positions. Both have submitted their letter of resignation, effective
immediately. As I understand, one individual thought he could work his current job and
this new job, but,decided it was too much work. (He didn't inform us that he would be
keeping his current job until after the interview process.) The second decided that he
wasn't interested in returning to a custodial position.
RECOMMENDATION
Our previous recruitment process produced four strong finalists, so we do have one
individual on the certified list that is available to fill one of the vacant positions.
Therefore, I am recommending that Richard Hartwell be appointed to one of the vacant
custodian positions. He also has extensive experience in the cleaning field, so I am
recommending that he be hired at Grade 1, Step C of the 2004 Pay Plan ($14.00/hour;
$29,139/year).
We will need to review the credentials of the other applicants on the certified list to see if
there are any other qualified candidates for the remaining vacancy. Until that time, we
are covering buildings as well as possible by reassigning existing staff and using part-
time staff to fill in for certain areas, primarily at the Community Center.
ACTION REQUESTED:
If City Council concurs, move to accept the resignations of Marvin Melander and Tom
McEachern, and appoint Richard Hartwell to one of the vacant custodian positions at a
starting pay rate of Grade 1, Step C of the 2004 Pay Plan, contingent upon successful
completion of the pre-employment physical and background checks.
