Meister REPORT DATE: September 14, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: EXPLANATION: As part of our organizational planning and routine review of the operations of our department, I have identified some operational procedures that I believe should be changed for us to operate and deliver services more efficiently. The three (3) police clerk positions do not have a formal, direct reporting person that they go to for guidance and direction regarding their work activities. They may seek and/or receive direction from three or four command staff members – depending on who is available at the time. This can cause a conflict of orders and communication issues if they are receiving direction from multiple sources. I have proposed that an office manager position be created. This position would directly supervise and manage the clerical staff. We currently have a full-time clerical vacancy and I would like to fill that vacancy by hiring for this new position – Administrative Manager. I would post the position internally and within both villages. There is already a pay scale for this position. It is under what used to be titled as the Administrative Assistant. Based on our current, clerk’s pay rates and the duties and responsibilities of the new position, I would propose we start the new Administrative Manager at step 8 which is $46,025/year. This would be a salaried, exempt position as well. The job description for this position was approved at the last, regular meeting of the Board. The difference in pay from the previous clerk’s wage and what I am proposing for the new, Administrative Manager’s position is approximately $4,280. In checking with finance, it appears we would have these funds available this year yet due to some cost savings from other positions that were not filled throughout the year. We would then have to add this amount into the 2019 budget as well. . C:\USERS\DANIEL.MEISTER\DOCUMENTS\HIRING\ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER AGENDA ITEM REQUEST (L.C.).DOC RECOMMENDATION: Approve the requested position and allow for the immediate hiring of this position. C:\USERS\DANIEL.MEISTER\DOCUMENTS\HIRING\ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGER AGENDA ITEM REQUEST (L.C.).DOC Village of Little Chute REQUEST FOR VILLAGE BOARD CONSIDERATION ITEM DESCRIPTION: 2018 Heesakker Park Deer Culling PREPARED BY: Adam Breest, Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Director REPORT DATE: September 14, 2018 ADMINISTRATOR'S REVIEW/COMMENTS: No additional comments to this report: ______________________________ See additional comments attached: _________________________________ EXPLANATION: In 2017, the Village of Little Chute elected to participate in the deer culling at Heesakker Park. 2017 was a good year as we harvested 4 doe and 2 bucks and had 14 hunters. With the population of deer at Heesakker Park and the surrounding neighborhoods continuing to stay high I am proposing that we continue to operate the deer hunt in 2018. Dates: Monday, December 3, 2018 – Sunday, December 16, 2018 Locations: Heesakker and the eastern portion of Island Park Amount of Does or Bucks Harvested 2017 - 6 2016 - 8 2014 – 6 2013 – 5 2012 – 4 2011 – 8 I believe that the Deer Culling has been beneficial in the past. I would recommend that we approve the Deer Culling for this December. ATTACHMENTS: 2018 Little Chute Policies and Regulations RECOMMENDATION: Approve the 2018 Deer Culling POLICIES, RULES & REGULATIONS Authorized Deer Culling – Village of Little Chute Policies, rules & regulations are designed to ensure the safety of residents and others in areas being hunted and maximize the projected harvests.
