DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
Wastewater Field Operations Supervisor -  supervise, assign, review and participate in work of staff responsible for wastewater collection system 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 collection system as of 03/07 includes 392 miles of gravity main, 19 miles of force main and 10,000 manholes as well as over 30,000 service connections. Currently, the line maintenance staff includes the manager, 8 CSO Operators and one I & I Coordinator. A Field Operations Supervisor is needed to monitor/evaluate staff in the field, to verify field work is completed as assigned, to monitor quality and safe work practices of crews, and to 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 and have adequate staff to supervise, operate and maintain our WW Utilities added 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 much needed work that has been added due to both city growth and anticipated growth in the near future. The collection system size and service area over the past 10 years has steadily grown but the line maintenance staffing has not increased with system growth. 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
One New Position within the Line Maintenance Division/ Wastewater Utility.
