Memorandum
TO:
River
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING AND
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
DATE:
AUGUST 14, 2000
SUBJECT: FILLING BUILDING AND ZONING
SECRETARY POSITION
Staff is recommending that Robin Harfiel, the city's current receptionist, be promoted to
Building and Zoning Secretary for a three month trial period. This position is very
demanding and requires someone who can handle numerous interruptions. The three
month trial period will allow staff a chance to see if she is suited for the job and Robin a
chance to see if she enjoys this new position. Staff will hire a new Receptionist from a
temporary service during the trial period.
Staff is further recommending that Robin start as Building and Zoning Secretary at
$11.47 per hour. The Personnel Committee is currently reviewing an upgrade of the
Building and Zoning Secretary position from pay grade 6 to pay grade 7, due to recent
comparable worth studies. If the position is not upgraded, $11.47 is a reasonable rate
within its current pay scale (almost exactly in the middle of steps "A" and "B").
If within the three month trial period either Robin or the city do not feel things are
working out, she will return to her job as Receptionist and her current pay. If things go
well for her in this new position, as expected, she will receive a step increase within her
new pay grade in July of 2001.
