S.A.F.E.R NEWS RELEASE - S.A.F.E.R DISTRICT TO START ACCEPTING POSITION APPLICATIONS
| |
| |
Weston, WI - The new SAFER District, along with the Village of Weston, has launched a new software system for their hiring process. Beginning Friday, October 18th interested candidates can apply for current vacancies or sign up for new openings that become available at http://www.westonwi.gov/jobs.
The Village of Weston and the SAFER District partnered with NEOGOV, the nation's largest cloud software for HR in government and education. Using this technology, HR and department managers can access online records to expedite hiring and provide greater accountability when selecting new employees.
This new software streamlines the job search and application process for job seekers. Instead of applying for multiple job openings at once, candidates can submit multiple applications all electronically.
The new system also allows hiring managers to more effectively create minimum qualifications to sort through a pool of applicants. With the new system, administrative work and technical maintenance costs are reduced as this workload is handled by the NEOGOV system.
The Village of Weston and the SAFER District now join over 1000 organizations across the nation which have moved into cutting edge online technology for personnel management.

FALL YARD MATERIALS PICK-UP
| |
|
 This year's Fall Yard Materials Pick-up started on Monday, October 14, 2013!
The Fall Materials Pick-up is now in its 4th full week. As of Wednesday, Nov. 6, the 2nd, and FINAL, leaf pick-up effort has been completed in the Tuesday refuse collection area. The 2nd, and final, leaf pick-up in the Wednesday area has now begun.
Residents are to place un-bagged leaves, thatch, grass, clippings, pine needles and brush less than six (6) inches in diameter, on the road shoulder or at the curb. If you have curb and gutter please place yard waste in the curb line. Please keep piles away from storm sewer inlets to minimize the chances of causing drainage problems. Also keep piles away from power poles, mailboxes, landscaping, fire hydrants, or anything else that may impede the pickup process. Brush is to be kept SEPARATE from yard material and placed at roadside with stump ends of limbs placed in same direction, parallel to road. Brush Pickup is a separate operation and will not occur at the same time as leaf pickup. A final pass through the Village for brush collection is expected to occur the week of November 11. If yard material cannot be reached by the Village's machines it will then be the responsibility of the resident to dispose of the yard material.
The leaf/yard waste operation progresses through the Village following the sequence of the weekly garbage pick-up routes; i.e., Monday 1st, Tuesday 2nd,, etc. However, due to the volume of material it normally takes more than one day to pick up material in most areas.
As of Wednesday, November 6, the operations staff has completed leaf pick-up on the 2nd, and final, pass through the Tuesday refuse collection areas. The 2nd, and final, leaf pick-up effort in the Wednesday collection areas was also started on Wednesday, November 6. This is the 2nd and final pass through the Village for leaf pick-up. Collection time is unpredictable due to unknown material volume. If you reside in an area where your refuse is collected on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, please plan to have your materials out immediately. We will continue to provide updates of the progress of the final pass through the Village.
Final leaf collection has now occurred in the Monday areas (south of STH 29) and Tuesday areas. After the roadside collection has been completed, leaves and all aforementioned items can be brought to the Village's yard waste site (free of charge) located at 8200 Ryan Street (1/4 mile south of Weston Avenue on the west side). When bringing items to the yard material site, please remove leaves from bags and dispose of the bags in the provided container.
