City staff has been actively engaged <br /> with Roseville staff in evaluating the possibility of sharing engineering services.

The City of <br /> Roseville evaluated the position and feels that the appropriate salary ranged would be $45,801 to <br /> $62,558 for this position annually. <br /> City staff believes that this is a very promising idea and will provide the City with a number of <br /> engineering services and benefits. The City would also have access to other engineering expertise <br /> and GIS assistance in the future. If the City Council is in agreement with the joint powers <br /> agreement with the City of Rose vi lie, recruitment for this position would begin in late September. <br /> Councilmember Larson asked if the one year termination date was necessary for this type of <br /> agreement. <br /> City Administrator Wolfe stated that the one year termination notice was implemented to allow <br /> the civil engineer enough time to find a new employment opportunity. <br /> . Councilmember Larson asked if unemployment insurance is already included in the compensation <br /> cost of 1.9 times the base salary for a City of Roseville engineering employee. <br /> City Administrator Wolfe said that she will review this concern with the City of Roseville. <br /> \ \Metro- inet.uslArdenHillslAdmin\CouncillMinutes\ W orksession\2005\09- t 2-05- Approved.doc <br />
