City Council - 2 - October 10, 1997 DISCUSSION Consolidating the supervision of the plant operations and maintenance units into a single job will result in a more coordinated approach to the management of both activities. On a daily basis, the wastewater plant operations function will be supervised by a lead plant operator, which will report to the Wastewater Plant Operations Supervisor. On the plant maintenance side, the journey level mechanics and electricians will also report to the Wastewater Plant Operations Supervisor. This approach will lead to better coordination of the preventive maintenance program with plant operations. Currently, the Plant Superintendent coordinates both functions. The proposed reorganization will free -up the Plant Superintendent's time so that more of that position's resources can be focused on management functions. Additionally, the Wastewater Plant Operations Supervisor will have the requisite State certification to act in the absence of the Plant Superintendent. Changing the job title of the Plant Superintendent to Wastewater Pollution Control Manager is being proposed because the title of Plant Superintendent does not adequately describe the full scope of the job duties and is not consistent with industry trends. Fiscal Impact: The proposed organizational change will result in annualized savings of $62,340. CONCLUSION It is recommended that the City Council approve the resolution amending the Pay Plan to create the classification of Wastewater Plant Operations Supervisor; delete the classifications of Assistant Plant Superintendent and Plant Maintenance Supervisor; and change the job title of Plant Superintendent to Wastewater Pollution Control Manager. 78
