The Council’s intent was to hire SEH for a period of at <br />least six months to evaluate how to move forward with the Public Works Director/City Engineer <br />role. <br /> <br />Todd was asked to provide a recommendation to the Council on his thoughts on the department <br />and the role, Todd will be present at the meeting to discuss. <br /> <br />Following discussion with Todd, it is believed the Public Works Director/City Engineer can be <br />filled by one person, and it is not necessary to split the role. However, additional administrative <br />assistance would benefit the department, that will be discussed separately. <br /> <br />Assuming the Council is open to keeping the role combined, there are a few different options to <br />consider: <br /> <br />-Option 1: Re-post for the position and search for an FTE, the City could utilize a consultant to <br />assist in finding the right candidate. <br /> <br />-Option 2: Continue to fill the role with a consultant either continuing to utilize SEH or go out <br />for other proposals with the intent of a longer-term contract in mind. <br />
