The position is in the budget but on hold due to the freeze on promotions. Reorganization Merging Water Pollution/Flood Control & Sanitation/Recycling Departments The City Council has officially created the Waste Management Department. Upon the retirement of the Superintendent of Sanitation & Recycling, the Superintendent of Water Pollution/Flood Control was assigned administrative control of the Sanitation Department. One of the reasons for merging the Sanitation Department with Water Pollution/Flood Control Department was because both departments are located in the same area. In addition, the reorganization will save money and be a more efficient operation. There were 12 employees in the Solid Waste Operator positions. Seven Solid Waste Operators were laid off effective June 1, 2002, leaving five Solid Waste Operator employees. The seven former Solid Waste Operators will be allowed to bump back to another classification if they have the seniority, accept a layoff or go through the Civil Service process for one of the five newly created positions of Waste Services Technician classification. The new Waste Services Technician position will be backups for the Solid Waste Operator position, assist Sewer Maintenance Worker, assist with code enforcement, etc. In addition, there will be three Sewer Maintenance Worker positions vacant that will be filled as a promotional through the Civil Service process and the laid off Solid Waste Operators have been told they should apply for these positions. The wage rate for the Waste Services Technician position and Sewer Maintenance Worker position is higher than the Solid Waste Operator position. The city will realize a savings with three less employees and through less overtime costs. NEW BUSINESS The job description and testing criteria for Waste Services Technician was presented for approval. This is a newly created position that will be posted as a promotional examination.
