Chairman Hanson called the meeting to order.
1. Request to re-fill Director of Public Works.
Alderman Molski moved to approve the process of
re-filling the Director of Public Works position; Alderman Wiza seconded. Ayes all; nays none. Motion carried.
2. Placement of Deputy Fire
Chief's on the Management Pay Plan
Mayor stated that he has a modification to the recommendation
outlined in his memo. He explained that the step and salary identified were the recommendation from Carlson Dettmann
based on the Deputy Fire Chief's not receiving OT pay. The study of the Fire Department conducted by Virchow Krause
indicate that the continuance of overtime for these employees allows the City a good "bang for its buck"
and should be permitted to continue. Based on this, the recommendation would mirror what occurred for other non-represented
employees, 3% increase January one and then movement to the step that provides a pay increase on the employee management
date with documented satisfactory performance. The positions were placed in Grade K and the incumbent employees
would move to Step 2 on their management anniversaries under the criteria already noted. The annual salary for
Step 2 of Grade K is $59,200.
Alderman Wiza questioned how much overtime was earned by the Deputy Chief's in 2007. Mayor Halverson responded
that D/C Kujawa earned approximately $20,500; D/C Zinda earned approximately $18,500. D/C Finn started in October
and didn't earn any overtime to speak of.
Lisa Jakusz stated that 2007 was somewhat of an
anomaly for overtime for D/C's in the Fire Department due the former D/C Jay Gordon left in April and the vacancy
wasn't filled until D/C Finn started in October.
Chief Barnes responded to questions regarding the assignment of overt time and the different kinds of overtime
(minimum staffing versus administrative) raised by Alderman Brooks.
Alderman Wiza moved to approve the placement of
the Deputy Fire Chief's on the Management Pay Plan as discussed (movement to Step 2 of Grade K with an annual salary
of $59,100 with documented satisfactory performance); Alderman Moore seconded. Ayes all; nays none. Motion carried.
3. Discussion and possible
action on Interim Fire Chief Recommendation(s)
Alderman Wiza moved to name John Zinda as interim
Fire Chef effective June 14, 2008 with the guidelines as set forth (see attachment) at an annualized salary of
$74,168.00; Alderperson Moore seconded. Ayes all; nays none. Motion carried.
4. Discussion and possible
