ACTION REQUESTED
1. Appoint Linda Canton to the vacant secretary/receptionist position in the police department.
2. Approve filling the administrative services job share secretary/receptionist position.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
At the September 6, 2011 Council meeting, staff was given approval to advertise internally for the vacant
police department's secretary/receptionist position. The position was advertised internally for one week.
One candidate, Linda Canton, applied, was interviewed, and has undergone the police department's
background process. At this time we would like to appoint Ms. Canton to the police department's
secretary/receptionist position.
Ms. Canton was hired in March as one of the secretary/receptionists in the City Hall/administrative
services job share position. We would like to begin the process to fill this position immediately.
Captain Bob Kluntz and City Clerk Tina Allard are coordinating Ms. Canton's schedule through the
transition from one position to the other to assure minimum impact to City Hall front desk services and
administrative staff. Provided Council approval tonight, Ms. Canton's official start date at the police
department will be tomorrow, October 4, 2011. Fox a period of time, Ms. Canton may work in both the
police department and at City Hall.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
These are both budgeted positions. Ms. Canton will continue to be paid at the same pay grade and step
as her current position.
