Re: Appointment of Donna Winkler as Secretary I, Ice Arena/Recreation
BACKGROUND
Patricia Storby left her position of Secretary I at the Ice Arena in April to accept a
promotion to the Public Works Department. John Fredrickson, Diane Evans, and
Dean Mulso developed a re-structuring of the position. The position of Secretary I
wiil now be spiit between Recreation and the ice Arena. The Recreation Divisio� will
no longer have an OJT student year-round. The Ice Arena will increase the part-time
wages budget amount to provide for an additional skate instructodcoordinator. The
net result of these changes is a cost saving for the City.
We posted internally for the position of Secretary I, Ice Arena/Recreation, and had
two internal candidates. One of the candidates later withdrew her application.
DISCUSSION
Donna Winkler is currently a Secretary I in the Building Division. She has been with
the City for three and one-half years. She previousiy worked for Eneco Tecn as a
Receptionist/Bookkeeper, and for Digital Equipment Corporation as an Administrative
Assistant. She has taken computer and accounting courses, and has received
training through her previous employer in office administration, customer satisfaction,
and quality improvement.
