Mr. Schmitt requested an overview.
Mayor Clark explained that this contract would temporarily fill an engineering position at the Waste
Management Department. An individual from AECOM would provide professional expert services
on-site for a period of up to six months while the City begins the process of locating a qualified, full-
time person for that position.
Mr. Schmitt questioned the amount being spent for this service.
Suzy Schares, City Clerk/HR Director, clarified that the amount includes all expenses not just salary for
this position.
Mr. Lind questioned the amount we are already paying AECOM for expert services.
Mayor Clark clarified that these are two separate and unrelated services.
Michelle Weidner, Chief Financial Officer, verified that they are indeed for two separate contracts and
are completely unrelated.
Mr. Lind questioned why the City cannot operate with current staff until a new employee is hired as
have been past practice for extended leave.
Mayor Clark stated that there is currently `not enough -staff to operate at the level needed for this
department to function properly.
Mr. Hart asked about a time frame to begin the process to hire this person and the length of time the
search process would remain open.
Suzy Schares, City Clerk/HR Director, stated that the initial motion would be on the next council
agenda and that the search process would remain open for an estimated 3-4 weeks.
Mr. Morrissey stated that he would be voting for this. He thanked the Mayor for his willingness to meet
with him to discuss this item.
Mr. Schmitt asked for clarification of how this relates to personnel issues at the Waste Water
Treatment Center.
Mayor Clark stated that this person would be in charge of the Waste Treatment Facility on an interim
basis. He also stated that this is a separate issue from any personnel issues 'and those issues would not
be discussed in a Council Meeting.
Suzy Schares, City clerk/HR Director, stated that this has to do with the position the City has been
trying to fill for some time. Current events at Waste Management have simply made this search a
higher priority.
Mr. Schmitt asked to clarify that the City does not have the qualified staff needed to run the department
on an interim basis until a fully qualified person can be hired.
Mayor Clark reiterated that there are multiple reasons that this agreement is being brought before
council and most are personnel issues that would not be discussed in an open Council meeting.
Mr. Lind asked if Larry Smith was still on the city payroll.
Suzy Schares, City Clerk/HR Director, verified that Mr. Smith is and will remain on the payroll for 90
days.
John Sherban, 1715 Robin Rd., expressed concern with this agreement and the need for an interim
director.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2015-814.
