Scheffler,City RecorderDATE:January 4, 1990SUBJ:ResignationPlease accept this as my official notification of my intention to resign my full-time position with the City of Orono. As you know, I have agreed to contract with the City of Victoria to attend the Council and Planning Commission Meetings and prepare the minutes. This opportunity arose due to a recent reorganization of the City personnel of Victoria; they had a lack of space and equipment and felt it better to have the City Recorder work elsewhere (from his/her home).In my opinion, we have this similar situation here at Orono. I would like to continue working for Orono and have offered to attend the Planning Commission and Council Meetings and prepare the minutes at home. I would charge $100.00 per meeting and because I would be working as an individual contractor, I would no longer receive any benefits from the City. The meetings for Victoria occur on the 1st Monday (PC) and the 1st and 3rd Thursday (Council). The only conflicts I foresee are the optional Planning Commission Meetings that may occur during the building season. Since I started working here there have been 2 extra meetings. I would not be able to attend those meetings and that is something that I want you to consider when contemplating my offer. I have given you the date of February 28, 1990 as my last day, but would like to finish that week (and the pay period) and ask that you allow me to work through Friday, March 2, 1990. It is my understanding that you will discuss my offer to continue the recording aspect of my job with Mark. I would appreciate an answer to this question as soon as possible. I will be happy to talk with you and Mark about the details of my offer. I just want you to know that the only reason I have accepted this position with the City of Victoria is because of my son. He's growing so fast and it gets harder and harder for me to leave him at day care. You told me when I first interviewed for my job that it had the potential of becomming a full time position. I thought I could manage everything, but I can't. I even encouraged you to make my position full time when I saw how busy things are downstairs. I believe that was an immediate solution to the problem, even though it did not happen until January. Last summer I worked evenings to get my minutes done and that seemed to help somewhat, It allowed me to work more efficiently without interuptions and to help Teri with the typing of Zoning memos, etc. You may want to talk with Teri about her ideas for the downstairs personnel. / .A n N (,'* /’
