Action Requested
Approve,by motion,interim pay for Lead Liquor Clerk Brenda Gustafson effective April 11, 2019.
Background/Discussion
Assistant Liquor Operations Manager Steve Tillmann was recently on a leave of absence. In his absence,
Liquor Operations Manager Joe Audette took over primary operations of Northbound Liquor Store and
Lead Liquor Clerk Brenda Gustafson took over management of Westbound Liquor Store. As indicated
by past practice, 10%increase in pay is appropriate for interim assignments. Ms. Gustafson is also
working as an exempt employee in the interim assignment.
Steve Tillmann has recently given his notice to retire on July 5, 2019. During the next two months,Mr.
Audette anticipates working closely with Mr. Tillmann to provide a seamless transition following his
retirement. With this,we wish to keep Ms. Gustafson in this interim position until Mr. Tillmann's
position is filled.
Financial Impact
Additional pay for Ms. Gustafson is approximately$105.50 per week. With her scheduled step increase
on June 23, 2019, the 10%increase will be $112.20 per week.
