Public Works to advertise for replacement mechanic after upcoming retirement
Summary
Public Works requested authorization to advertise to fill a mechanic position after a planned May retirement, and said the department plans to use the retiring employee to mentor the new hire during a transition period.
Public Works asked the council for permission to advertise and begin hiring to replace a mechanic who plans to retire in May.
Mechanic supervisor/representative Jason Stordahl said the department currently has two mechanics and that one has given notice with an anticipated final date in May. Staff requested council authority to open the hiring process so the department can recruit a replacement and, if feasible, have the retiring employee mentor the new hire for several weeks to ease the transition.
No formal action was recorded in the transcript; council consent to begin recruitment was requested and no objections were raised during the discussion.
