MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor and City Council
FROM:
Sandra Peine, City Clerk
DATE:
December 17, 2001
SUBJECT: Authorization to Hire Secretary\Receptionist
REQUEST
On December 3, Council authorized staff to advertise for a Secretary/Receptionist position to fill
the vacancy that will be created by Katie Kill. Staff is currently accepting applications and would
like to interview next week. We would like to hire someone to begin sometime early in January.
Katie's last day is January 11. The problem we have run into is that there is not another Council
meeting until January 14. Therefore we would not be able to hire until the 15th and very possibly
not have someone on site until the end of January.
The position has been advertised as part time from 12:00-4:30 M-F at a wage of $10.99 - $12.15
DOQ. This equates to a Pay grade 5, Steps A and B.
ACTION REQUESTED
Staff is requesting Council to authorize the City Administrator to hire a secretary/receptionist
upon staff's recommendation at a Pay Grade 5, Step A or B DOQ, and then have the Council
officially grant its approval on January 14.

SUBJECT: Secretary/Receptionist Position
REQUEST
Staff is requesting Council authorization to hire Donna Malecha as the
Secretary/Receptionist for the City of Elk River.
BACKGROUND
Donna currently works in the Street/Park Department as an office service worker. Donna
submitted an application for the position of Secretary/Receptionist at City Hall. The City
encourages hiring and promoting existing employees.
The position of Secretary/Receptionist for City Hall would be a lateral transfer for Donna.
She is currently at pay grade 5, step A, and staff would propose that this is where Donna
starts with the new position at city hall.
Donna has been training at the front desk during the past few weeks to assist when needed.
Currently we are short handed due to one employee on leave. Donna has done a great job
learning the front desk responsibilities. We look forward to working with her.
ACTION REQUESTED
To hire Donna Malecha as Secretary/Receptionist for the City of Elk River beginning
January 14, 2002, from 12:00 - 4:30 M-F at Pay Grade 5, Step A, $10.67 per hour.
