Subject:

Job Description of Part Time Custodian & Advertise the position

 
Prepared By:
Christina Smith, Finance Officer
 
Background of Issue:

Due to lack of consistent service and some ongoing inconsistencies with the cleaning service, we cancelled their services on August 17th.  During the budget work session, it was mentioned moving to a hired Part Time(PT) Custodian and that we were having issues with the current service.  The cost of moving to a hired PT Custodian will be a cost savings in the end.  At this time the Library wants to keep the current cleaning company and will reevaluate towards the end of the year. 

 

Attached is the job description for the PT Custodian to work at City Hall.  The Job description was created by our HR department and reviewed by our HR Consultant, City Administrator, and Finance Officer.  

 

The timeline would be council approval on September 8th, advertise over the next two weeks with deadline to apply by September 25th.  The goal is to have a recommendation at the October 5th meeting to hire.  In the meantime, city staff will keep City Hall presentable until someone is hired.  


Recommendation

Approve the Job Description and advertisement
