MEMORANDUM
TO:
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM:
STEPHEN ROHLF, BUILDING
AND ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: JULY 7, 1994 -:5K
SUBJECT: APPLICANTS FOR THE POSITION OF
BUILDING INSPECTOR WITH THE
CITY OF ELK RIVER
In response to our opening for the position of "Building Inspector", we
received approximately 20 applications. Most of the applicants were very
qualified. These applicants were narrowed down to 3 who were interviewed.
.
City staff is recommending that Dennis Anderson be hired to fill the position
of Building Inspector. Although Mr. Anderson has not been a building
inspector with a municipality in the past, he does have his State
Certification. In addition, Mr. Anderson is a master plumber and is well
versed in heating and air conditioning. This expertise would be a welcome
addition to the department.
The range offered for this position is from $13.82 per hour to $16.46 per hour.
Even at the top of the range it would mean a cut in pay to Mr. Anderson from
what he receives as a plumber. Staff is recommending his starting salary be
$15.96 per hour with the normal cost of living increase on January 1, 1995.
At the end of a one year orientation period, staff recommends he receives a 50
cent per hour increase and/or to the top of the range.
This is a good opportunity for the Building Department to not only gain a
certified inspector, but also add plumbing and heating expertise to the
department. We strongly recommend that he is hired.
