Council approves internal postings to fill heavy equipment and plow-truck positions; restricts external advertising
Summary
Council authorized internal posting for a heavy equipment operator and a maintenance worker/plow-truck position, and said external advertising for the plow role would be authorized only if no internal applicants step forward.
The International Falls City Council on Sept. 2 approved internal postings to fill a heavy equipment operator vacancy and a maintenance worker (plow truck) position and clarified that the plow-truck job should be advertised externally only if no internal candidate applies.
The council approved the internal posting for the heavy equipment operator position, replacing Rory Gillos, with a motion and unanimous vote. For the maintenance worker/equipment-operator (plow truck) position, Councilor Kaler moved to post internally with the stipulation that if no internal interest is expressed the city may advertise externally; Councilor Wagner seconded the amended motion. The council approved the motion 5-0.
Council discussion noted the postings follow an internal promotion pattern and emphasized preference for filling positions from existing city staff. The council did not specify a timeline or salary for the positions on the meeting record; administrative staff were asked to proceed per the motion.
