Approve by motion the hiring of Paula Schwichtenberg as Building Permit Technician effective August 6,
2013.
Background/Discussion
Of the 24 applications received for this position, six highly qualified candidates were interviewed. We are
excited to recommend our current Fire Department Administrative Assistant, Paula Schwichtenberg, for
this Building Permit Technician position.
For the past year Ms. Schwichtenberg has been working in the Building Permit Technician position four
hours each week to accommodate a reduced work schedule for our former Building Permit Technician.
When this position became vacant,Ms. Schwichtenberg began working on a temporary,full-time basis to
ensure full coverage for this front desk area. Ms. Schwichtenberg has proven her ability to perform in
this position and we believe she will be an asset to the division.
This position is in pay grade 5 and Ms. Schwichtenberg will be paid at Step B. She was formerly in pay
grade 4, step C,which overlaps with pay grade 5. The promotion is about a 4%increase. Based on
satisfactory performance,Ms. Schwichtenberg will be eligible for any cost of living increase given to non-
organized employees on January 1, 2014. All other pay and benefits will be consistent with city policy.
Financial Impact
This is a budgeted position.
