Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that the request of the Parks Superintendent to appoint a Golf Maintenance II from an existing promotional Civil Service list be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Administrative Director to initiate an open Civil Service examination for two Code Enforcement Officers to work in the Fire Department was reviewed. The Black Hawk County Health Department has submitted revisions to their contract with the city. They have found it necessary to reconstructure and reduce their contract agreement with the city. Black Hawk County's food inspection contract with the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals requires that they greatly increase the restaurant and grocery store inspections beginning January 1, 1999. Their proposal represents a reduction in services with a corresponding reduction in reimbursement. The Black Hawk County Health Department is requesting that the city take over junk cars and junky yard complaint investigation, and the county will reduce its contract by $78,500.00. Because of the reduction, it is proposed that two code enforcement officers be hired and assigned to Fire Rescue. The Black Hawk County Health Department has agreed to a three month transition period to April 1, 1999. Mark Linda, Black Hawk County Disease Prevention Manager, stated that Black Hawk County requested that the contract be re-evaluated and reduced by one-half. They have proposed returning enforcement of junk cars and junky yards to the city because of financing and resources. The city gives Black Hawk County approximately $150,000, and the county supplements the enforcement with $80,000. Mr. Linda reported that their food inspection contract with the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals requires that they substantially increase their restaurant and grocery store inspection frequency beginning January 1, 1999. Black Hawk County will need to reduce city activity in order to meet the state mandate. Black Hawk County will continue to investigate health maintenance, evictions, open dumping, taxi cab enforcement, flood dikes, etc. Councilperson Getty suggested that the city look at the feasibility of doing our own inspections, and that building inspectors could inspect a lot of the complaints. Councilperson Anders questioned if the city will need to hire two people. Councilperson Anders stated he is in favor of hiring someone to inspect the junk cars and junky yards, but he has concerns using the same job description and working under the current inspector that the problem will not go away. Councilperson Anders stated the city should hire one person who will enforce the ordinance and follow-up on complaints. Moved by Krizek, seconded by Gronen that the request of the Administrative Director to initiate an open Civil Service examination for two Code Enforcement Officers to work in the Fire Department be approved. Ayes: Three. Motion carried. The request of the Personnel Director to hire an Administrative Secretary to work in the Personnel Department and the Mayor's Office and to be available as a fill-in for all city departments was reviewed. The request is to hire Susan Holm to a full time position as an Administrative Secretary. The Administrative Secretary position would be accounted for in the Personnel Department budget and work out of the Mayor's office. The Administrative Secretary will also be available to float to other city departments when needed as a fill-in Administrative Secretary. The Personnel Department has concluded that the Administrative Secretary could be used approximately 1100 to 1200 hours per year by other city departments. It is also estimated that the Administrative Secretary will spend approximately 15 to 20 percent of her time performing clerical duties for the Maintenance Department.
