Background/Discussion
Following the resignation of Office Assistant Jolene Richter, we went to market to fill the vacancy in the

position of Office Assistant for the city’s Fire and Building Safety division.
Ms. Crayford has been working as a Receptionist/Office Assistant for the City of Otsego which includes
working with building permits, PermitWorks software, and several of the duties she will be performing in
our position.
Ms. Crayford will start at step A of pay grade 3 and will be eligible for a step increase after a successful
orientation period. All pay and benefits will be consistent with city policy.
