Finance Committee Minutes 2
February 25, 2020
NEW BUSINESS
Review Proposed Change to Transition Two-Part Time Positions to Full Time
Alderperson Kubacki moved to approve the proposal. Alderperson Kapusta
seconded. Mayor Chiaverotti stated an individual was recently hired to process utility
billing following the retirement of the Administrative Assistant at the Public Works and
Utility Department. It was determined that the employee would work in the Finance
and Administration Department because of the financial duties of the position. There
is still a need for an employee to be stationed at the DPW building. It is proposed that
a 20-hour Administrative Assistant position and a 30-hour Account Clerk position
transition to full-time status for the purpose of filling the additional administrative needs
within the Public Works and Utility Departments. Each employee would work 20 hours
at the DPW building while continuing their existing job duties at City Hall for the
remaining 20 hours.
Superintendent Beilfuss stated he has been performing the administrative duties since
the employee’s retirement.
Alderperson Hammel acknowledged the need; however, he opposes making staff
changes before the new Mayor takes office. Director Mueller and Director Kroeger
provided additional input. Motion to approve the proposal carried.
Recommend Six-Month Extension of M & N Shooting Enterprize, LLC (dba) Boxhorns
and City of Muskego Lease Agreement for Boxhorn Pole Barn Area

seconded. Attorney Warchol stated that Boxhorns requested additional time to build
its own structure. Director Kroeger confirmed that they are making progress. Motion
carried.

Alderperson Kubacki moved to recommend approval of a $299,948.95 reduction.
