Flip-flop on hiring
by Darren Handschuh CASTANET - Aug 11, 2015 / 7:00 am
The City of Vernon's planning department will be getting a temporary, full-time planner after all. Council agreed Monday to hire an additional planner for one year at a cost of $84,000. At its last regular council meeting in July, the majority voted to reject the request to hire another person for the department of eight, but reversed that decision and gave the go ahead to bring on the extra help for a year. Counc. Brian Quiring led the charge saying the new position is needed because the city is losing money because development projects are not being taken care of fast enough due to the heavy workload existing staff face. Counc. Juliette Cunningham supported the motion as did Counc. Dalvir Nahal who had previously opposed the hiring. Nahal said she has talked to some developers since the last meeting and saw the need for another city planner. “When the issue did come back, I felt I needed to step up,” said Naha. “This is going to create more jobs. There is a shortage so this is a necessary position.” The idea is to have the development fees pay for the position, but Counc. Scott Anderson said if there is a sudden slow down, the person could spend the year with very little work to do. Quiring did not see that as a concern, noting current staff are too busy. “Look at our statistics, the numbers are up. They are just overloaded and this is a temporary position,” he said. “We should be able to get some good revenue over the year.” Quiring said the application process is more complex now than it has ever been “because of requests from higher levels of government. Things are taking longer and we need more help.”
-----------
Don Quixote Note: The original motion from the minutes of July 13: (p.23):
Moved by Councillor Quiring, seconded by Councillor Anderson: THAT Council endorse the creation of a Planning Assistant position in the Current Planning Department for a period of twelve months, effective immediately, and funded through the excess development revenue anticipated from 2015 building permit activity; AND FURTHER, should excess development revenue from 2015 be insufficient to cover the additional staffing cost, that the balance be funded from the Development Excess Reserve, to a maximum of $84,200. DEFEATED, with Councillor Lord, Spiers, Naha!, and Anderson opposed.
-----------------
This motion was brought back at yesterday's and passed by a 4-3 vote. (Lord, Spiers,Anderson opposed)

No additional staff hired
by Richard Rolke - Vernon Morning Star posted Jul 19, 2015 at 1:00 AM
City of Vernon staff will be shuffling around to accommodate increased workload. Council has decided that existing employees in the planning department can handle expanded activities instead of hiring a temporary planning assistant. “We have eight staff involved in planning. For the next year, they need to reallocate people,” said Coun. Catherine Lord, who was opposed to hiring. “I want to make sure staff pay attention to current development and not long-term development.” The plan had been for the temporary planning assistant to be paid through excess development revenue from 2015 building permits. Coun. Brian Quiring had supported staff’s request for the temporary position. “Development is going gang-busters and we need the help,” he said.
Building gets demolished
A City of Vernon-owned building has a date with a wrecking ball. The New Delhi building at 2905 29th St. and 2828 30th Ave. will be demolished and interim parking will be created at a cost of $50,000. In 2012, the city purchased the property for $1.1 million for an eventual east/west traffic corridor. No timeline has been established for construction of the new road. Fire broke out in the building in December 2014 and the city has accepted an insurance settlement of $126,000.

Private sector workers earn less, work more: report ---- (CFIB vs. CUPE) Who gets paid more, public or private sector workers?
Marlene Leung, CTVNews.ca Published Monday, March 23, 2015 9:26AM EDT
The average public sector employee makes 18 to 37 per cent more than a comparable employee working in the private sector, according to a new report from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. The report, which compares employee compensation in the private and public sectors found that, when salaries, benefits and working hours are factored in, a private sector employee makes up to $8,150 less per year, and works up to six hours more each week, compared to someone doing the same job for the government. If government workers were paid at the same rate as their private sector counterparts, Canadian taxpayers would save up to $20 billion a year, according to the report.(more)

Battle of the Wages: Who gets paid more, public or private sector workers?
http://cupe.ca/battle-wages-who-gets-paid-more-public-or-private-sector-workers
Methodology:
CUPE obtained the most detailed data available from Statistics Canada, with earnings information on over 500 specific detailed occupations. The study used data derived from 1.9 million records from the 2006 long-form Census and compared earnings levels for those who worked full-time, full-year for each specific occupation by industry group, with breakdowns by gender, age and region. The analysis did not adjust for other factors that can have an impact on pay, such as education, level of unionization, skills, working experience and size of employer. All these tend to be higher in the public sector workforce.
LivingWork Consultants was commissioned to analyze and aggregate the data using rigorous statistical methods. In comparison, the Wage Watch report published by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB), which used an identical data source, used techniques that biased their results and involved equations that are mathematically incorrect.

City engineer heading east
by Richard Rolke Vernon Morning Star - updated Jan 2, 2015 at 6:54 AM
The City of Vernon begins the new year with a major vacancy in senior administration. Rob Dickinson left his duties as engineering manager Tuesday after eight years with the city. “I had an awesome time at the city,” said Dickinson, who is returning to the private sector to help open an engineering office in Saskatoon, Sask. “It was an opportunity professionally that was too good to let go of.” The Manitoba native says he will miss working with his highly professional colleagues at Vernon city hall. “The reason I started working with the city is the community and being involved in the community.” While at the city, Dickinson played a key role in establishing a long-term infrastructure strategy and an integrated transportation network. “He is a bright young engineer who brought much to the corporation and the city,” said Will Pearce, Vernon’s chief administrative officer. The position of engineering manager will be posted in January. “Skilled and experienced municipal engineers are difficult to recruit. It could take three to six months or longer (to fill),” said Pearce. During that period, Ed Stranks, engineering development services manager, will be acting department head. “My focus is to maintain momentum on numerous key projects — the strategic infrastructure investment plan, the transportation plan and the liquid waste management plan, among others,” said Pearce. “All of these are key to the integrity of our municipal infrastructure.”
