City to create union custodian position as longtime worker retires
Summary
Council approved creating and advertising a union, grade-7 custodian position to replace a maintenance post and the contracted service, citing the retirement of longtime employee Mark McDermott and a planned vacancy.
The Stewartville City Council approved a new custodial job description and authorized advertising for the position, which will be a union, grade-7 role responsible for maintaining city buildings including City Hall, the fire hall, the library, parks restrooms, the civic center, public works and the pool.
Council members said the new position replaces a contracted service used by the fire department and will fill a vacancy created by the retirement of Mark McDermott. The personnel committee reviewed the job description and recommended posting; the council moved to accept the new position description and to advertise for applicants and the motion carried by voice vote.
Council noted the position was expected to be opened in October (as stated in the meeting packet), and asked staff to coordinate timing with the budget and hiring process. No salary numbers were provided during the discussion; the council indicated it will remain a union position at grade 7.
