TYPE OF PROGRAM ADJUSTMENT
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
Wastewater Maintenance Supervisor -  supervise, assign, review and participate in work of staff responsible for wastewater maintenance. The supervisor will also monitor and evaluate maintenance activities and operations; and to perform a variety of technical tasks relative to assigned area of responsibility.
BENEFITS OF FUNDING PROGRAM
The infrastructure in the wastewater system as of 03/07 includes 1 wastewater treatment plant with another one being developed at present, 34 lift stations with more underway and planned. Currently, the maintenance staff includes the manager, 1 supervisor and 8 maintenance mechanics. An additional maintenance supervisor is needed to monitor/evaluate staff both in the field and at the plant verifying work is completed as assigned, monitoring quality and safe work practices of crews, and participate with staff to complete technical tasks. This program is just a start in a effort to continue to maintain excellent city services into the near future with added WW infrastructure.
ESTIMATE AND EXPLANATION OF NEW REVENUE
All costs involved are covered with in the confines of the rate plan.
CONSEQUENCES OF NOT FUNDING PROGRAM
Not funding the program could cause a reduction of needed work that has been added due to both city growth and anticipated growth in the near future. The WW system size and service area over the past 10 years has steadily grown but the maintenance staffing has not increased with system growth due to our own efficiencies however staff has reached the limit of work that can be done with current staff. In our continued efforts to provide excellent city service not funding this program would increase O&M cost due to inefficiencies related to inadequate staff numbers.
POSITIONS INVOLVED IN PROGRAM IMPROVEMENT
