December 11, 1995
Considering Hiring a Planning
Assistant
Over the past couple of months the City has been going through the process
of advertising, sending out applications, reviewing applications and
conducting interviews to fill the Planning Assistant position. Initially, there
was a healthy response to the advertisement for the Planning Assistant
position, with 108 applications being mailed out to interested candidates.
From the 108 that were sent out, 55 completed applications were returned for
review and consideration. Through a point evaluation system, the 55
candidates were narrowed down to 5 individuals that were interviewed by
Bill Rubin, Lori Johnson and myself. From these five final candidates, we
were able to come up with one individual that we feel will best fit for the
City in the Planning Assistant position.
At this point, the City Council is asked to support staff's recommendation to
hire Scott Harlicker as the new Planning Assistant. Scott has an
undergraduate degree in both geography and education from Bemidji State
University, as well as a master's degree in urban and regional planning from
the State University of New York in Albany. Scott's professional experience
ranges over 7 years, working with various freestanding communities in New
Jersey and upstate New York. Scott's strength's he in review of development
proposals, land use issues, planning studies and an understanding of
computers and graphic information system (G.I.S.) applications.
Scott is currently living in Minnesota and would be able to start January 2,
1996. It is requested that Scott be hired at $30,000 (just below Step C) with
an increase to Step D ($31,970) after the 6 month orientation and finally,
Step E ($33,405) on July 1, 1997. The typical benefit package will also be
offered.
