Discussion.
Background/Discussion
Park Maintenance Lead Steve Stoffers is expected to publicly announce his retirement. Steve has been
with the city for over 15 years and was the first park maintenance lead hired seven years ago. We plan to
advertise externally and internally for the vacancy once we receive his formal resignation.
Park Maintenance Superintendent Tim Sevcik will be taking an extended absence serving in the National
Guard from June 3 to June 24. We plan to start the recruiting process soon and would like to interview
and have the candidate hired before Tim leaves on June 3.
We are requesting City Council allow an opportunity for the successful candidate to train with the lead
and superintendent before they leave, to ease the succession. The goal is to have the lead in place the
week of June 27.
Financial Impact
The Park Maintenance Budget will have budgeted funds available as a result of temporary division-wide
vacancies.
