Re: Appointment of Terri Jo Gulner as 5ecretary I, Ice Arena/Recreation
:� -• �
When Donna Winkler decided to transfer back to the Building Division, this
created a vacancy for the Arena/Recreation position. We posted internally for
the position, but there were no applicants. Because we already had an external
process in progress for Secretary i, Administration, we were able to use the
same pool of candidates for this position.
DISCUSSION
Five candidates were interviewed on September 17. These candidates were
selected after application screening and testing. Neil Belscamper �vas selected
as top candidate for the Administration position. There were two finalists
selected to return for second interviews for the Arena/Recreation position.
Second interviews were held on September 26. Diane Evans, Jason West, and I
interviewed the candidates. Then, they spent approximately 15 minutes in #he
Recreation office, and were shown some of the duties and activities of the
position and the department. Then, they went to the Ice Arena and spent some
time with Dean Mulso. They toured the Arena and were shown examples of the
type of work they would do. The consensus after these activities were concluded
was to pursue Terri Jo Gulner as top candidate for the position.
Ms. Gulner is a resident of Cottage Grove and a graduate of Park Senior High
School. She aiso attended inver Hills Community College for Business
Management/Office Support Studies. She worked for West Publishing Company,
National Sportswear Concepts, Mall Merchants of America, United Microlabs Inc,

and Ecolab. Her positions included Credit AnalystJCoilection Representative,
Office Manager, Customer Service, and Administrative Assistant. She has
experience with multiple software packages, including graphics and desktop
publishing.
In conducting reference checks, I spoke with two of Ms. Gulner's former
supervisor's. She was highly recommended by both. Comments included that
she did a very good job, has a strong skill set, good attenda�ce, and has good
public contact skills.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the application, test results, interviews, and references, staff
recommends the appointment of Terri Jo Gulner as Secretary I. Ms. Gulner will
serve a one-year probationary period. This position is covered by the Clerical
Bargaining Unit Agreement.
