Utilizing multiple staffing services will provide the City with the added value of having access to larger and more viable applicant pools in the NWA region. BACKGROUND: To supplement regular, full time staff during periods of increased demand and/or staff shortages (e.g., leaves of absence and turnover/retirement) the City has utilized temporary staffing to maintain necessary business operations. DISCUSSION: The City desires to continue utilizing temporary staffing services to support specific business needs for either short- or long-term assignments across multiple departments. By maintaining the relationship with temporary staffing services, the City will reduce costs of human capital overhead (e.g., workers' compensation, F.I.C.A, and the potential for unemployment claims costs). The usage of temporary staffing services to supplement labor is a common practice among NWA municipalities in their daily operations. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: The 2021 budget has funding allocated for temporary staffing. Please contact me at 575-8298 if you have questions.

During the past 3 years in C my capacity as the Public Works Maintenance y t,,,r,••,w Supervisor for the City of Bentonville.
