Action Requested
Approve, by motion, the hiring of Linda Canton for the position of Crime Prevention Specialist.
Background/Discussion
In May, we went to market to fill our crime prevention specialist position. We interviewed a number of
candidates but were unable to make a hire. It was later discovered that a current employee, Linda
Canton, was interested in the position. Following an internal recruitment process, we recommend Linda
Canton for the position of crime prevention specialist.
Ms. Canton has worked for the city since March 2011. She was hired as a part-time Secretary/
Receptionist at City Hall and was soon after hired to a fulltime Secretary/Receptionist position in the
Police Department.
Ms. Canton will start at Step B of Pay Grade 6 and will begin working in this position around October 1,
2015. The actual start date will depend upon the time it takes to hire and train someone for the vacant
position.
Financial Impact
This is a budgeted position.
