PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR - CITYENGINEER - RESOLUTION NO. 6091 Loftus stated a draft job description has been provided to the City Council for their review along with a proposed timeline for moving forward with the public works/city engineer position. Rahn noted on Page 2, under parks, Orono does not have a Parks Commission and asked whether that language should be amended to say as needed. McMillan noted the City Council will be revisiting the Parks Commission in the future but that the language could read as needed in the meantime. Rahn asked whether the language, other duties as assigned, should be included at the end. Loftus noted language to that effect is contained on Page 1 referencing special projects but that it could be changed to other duties. Mattick stated the other duties as assigned would be broader. Rahn moved, Bremer seconded, to amend the Supervisory/Administrative Salary Schedule to add the Public Works Director-City Engineer position at Level 8 and to approve the position for advertisement and to reflect the changes as discussed. McMillan asked whether the deadline schedule should be pushed up to December 1st. Mattick asked what publications the notice would be placed in. Loftus stated it would be placed on the League's website and the City’s website. Loftus indicated if the City Council reviews them in mid December, it is not likely they will be able to schedule the interviews in late December given the holidays and that the extra time to apply might be helpful. It was the consensus of the City Council to leave the time line as denoted. VOTE: Ayes 4, Nays 0. Item #03 - CC Agenda - 11/14/2011 Approval of Council Minutes 10/24/2011 [Page 17 of 19]
