Summary
At a special April 22 meeting, Harwood officials agreed to advertise a Public Works Assistant vacancy after Mathias Zitzow submitted his resignation effective May 1; the council set job qualifications, a $25–$30 hourly pay range and an interview timetable.
Harwood City Council on April 22 agreed to advertise for a Public Works Assistant after the incumbent, Public Works Assistant Mathias Zitzow, submitted his resignation effective May 1.
The special meeting, called to order at 12:00 p.m. by Mayor Blake Hankey via Zoom, focused on staffing the public works department. Council members set a pay range of $25 to $30 per hour for the vacancy and outlined minimum requirements that will be included in the job posting: a pre-employment drug test and a Class B commercial driver’s license (CDL).
City Auditor Chayla Hansen recorded the roll call that listed Council members Chris Higgins and Chris Fix joining via Zoom, Dick Sundberg present in person and Jamie Nettum absent. Public Works Supervisor Jeremy Snyder and Public Works Assistant Mathias Zitzow were also noted as present for the discussion.
Council members determined the advertisement will run for two weeks. Dick Sundberg and Mayor Blake Hankey will conduct initial screenings; the five strongest applicants will be advanced for interviews at the June City Council meeting. The departing employee will be given an exit interview as part of the transition plan.
There was no formal vote recorded on the hiring plan during the meeting transcript; council members proceeded by consensus to approve the recruitment steps as described.
The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn. Dick Sundberg moved to adjourn and Chris Higgins seconded; the council voted in favor and the meeting adjourned at 12:42 p.m.
