DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM
Collection System Operator -  perform a variety of skilled labor in the operation and maintenance of the city's wastewater collection and sanitary sewer systems and facilities. One CSO Operator is needed to meet labor needs within the Line Maintenance Division/Wastewater Utility.
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. The additional CSO Operator will allow for increased manhole and sewer line inspections, GPS surveying of manholes, increased quality control through increased inspection and maintenance, and increased customer service. This program is just a start in a effort to continue to maintain excellent city services into the near future and have adequate staffing to pro-actively maintain our WW Utilities added infrastructure.
ESTIMATE AND EXPLANATION OF NEW REVENUE
All cost 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.
