. August 28. 1989 Council Minutes, Page Three P.W. SUPERVISOR Council acknowledged receipt of reference checks on Mr. Lauren McClanahan, one of the finalists for the position of Public Works Supervisor. Administrator Berger advised the Council that he had spoken to Mr. McClanahan that afternoon, and Mr. McClanahan declined to accept the position if offered to him. Berger suggested that Council look at the second finalist, who had indicated to Administrator Berger that he was interested in the position. Mayor Sather questioned if this appointment should be made now or tabled to the next regular Council meeting of September 11. Councilmembers Hansen and Malone both felt that this should be a conditional appointment. subject to the applicant's agreement, and should have a probationary period of six months. It would be up to the applicant to resolve his time schedules, so that the City work would become his priority. Councilmember Malone moved, seconded by Hansen, to conditionally appoint Daniel Winkel as Public Works Supervisor, effective September 1, 1989, conditioned upon Mr. Winkel's acceptance of the position, and at $15.20 per hour, the first step in the City's pay plan for this position.

Clerk Administrator Berger was directed to speak with Labor Relations Consultant Karen Olson to see if the City would be required to advertise to fill Mr. Winkel's maintenance position, or if they could recruit one of the top applicants for the maintenance position. since this was a very recent tile of applicants for the position. If the City did not have to re-advertise. a person could be appointed to fill the maintenance position at the September 11. 1989 Council meeting.
