Review Proposal for Modification and Filling of Conservation Intern Position
Mr. Zagar was present to discuss the existing Conservation Intern position. He is
proposing that the position be replaced with a new position titled “Conservation
Technician - Limited Term.” Mr. Zagar stated the employees who held the intern
position in the past also worked at other jobs, which made scheduling difficult. He is
proposing to reduce the number of hours to 19 and to increase the hourly wage to $12,
which is consistent with what the DNR pays limited term employees.
Ald. Salentine moved to recommend that the position of Conservation Technician -
Limited Term be created and to approve the job description. Ald. Schroeder seconded.
Ald. Schroeder asked if the position would receive any benefits. The Mayor stated no
because the employee will be working under 1,000 hours annually. Finance Director
Gunderson did note that the position would qualify for Wisconsin Retirement benefits.
The wages for the position are paid out of conservation funds. Ald. Patterson
expressed concerns about creating the position. He does not believe that reducing the
number of hours will eliminate scheduling problems because the employee will most
likely have another job. Ald. Schroeder stated he views the position as more of a
