The request of the Superintendent of Waste Management Services for authorization to begin the
process for Waste Services Technician was reviewed. Tim Shea, Superintendent of Waste
Management Services, stated that as part of combining the Water Pollution/Flood Control and
Sanitation Departments, he would like to create the position of Waste Services Technician. The
new position will be utilized as a labor pool within the Waste Management Services Department
and assigned a variety of duties, including filling in on assigned sanitation routes and pick-up of
solid waste and recycling at city sites.
Councilperson Jordan stated that he feels the reorganization is a good idea and asked if the city
would be cutting any service. Mr. Shea responded that he feels this will improve services.

work on the reorganization plan and for being conscientious of current employees.
Krizek now present at 4:33 p.m.
Councilperson Anders asked what would happen to the current Solid Waste Operators. Mr. Shea
reported that five of the 12 active employees in the Solid Waste Operators job classification

Solid Waste Operators will be allowed to bump back to another classification if they have
seniority to do so, accept a layoff or go through the civil service process for one of the five
positions in the new classification of Waste Services Technician.
Mr. Shea stated that the new job classification for Waste Services Technician will be reviewed by
the Civil Service Commission later this week.
