ISSUE AND BACKGROUND:
As a result of the pandemic, employment staffing, especially in Public Works, has decreased significantly, leaving services, such as residential sanitation, streets and water to not only advertise for employment opportunities, but to look at alternate ways to staff these departments in order to maintain levels of service for the City residents.
A recent incentive program, has increased applications, however, the City will still need temporary staffing to maintain the required number of personnel to complete the needed tasks in Public Works.
RECOMMENDATION / REQUESTED ACTION: Public Works and Purchasing recommend approval of the agreement with Environmental Difference Staffing (2470 Windy Hill Road SE, Suite 442, Marietta, Georgia, 30067) for temporary, supplemental personnel for Public Works to assist in maintaining service levels for sanitation, water, streets, etc. as needed in the department, and authorize the Mayor to sign and execute all related documentation.
