Agenda Item Summary:
A combination of factors, including the global COVID-19 pandemic, growth in the City, and an extremely tight labor market have left the Solid Waste Division of Public Works Department and the Landside Maintenance Department at the Rapid City Regional Airport to have critical staffing needs; and a rise in wages in competing market has left them unable to adequately staff for their operating hours. AFSCME and the City have agreed to adjust the wage for targeted job titles in order to attract and retain qualified employees to maintain Operations in efforts to prevent future adjustments to services that will impact the community.
