UNFINISHED RI 1SINESS
Updates
Sewer Maintenance Worker—Waste Management Services—Open Exam
Approved by Civil Service 11/19/10 and by Human Resources 12/13/10. Advertised in the
Courier, posted on the City website and Cable, notices sent to the agencies, organizations and
individuals on the Affirmative Acton list and posted in all City departments. Vacancy due to a
resignation but will have 2-3 additional vacancies to satisfy EPA/DNR regulations. Received 24
resumes, but only 6 met qualifications and were invited to interview by a panel of Keith Kearns
and Gary Luck from Waste Management Services and Mary Peterson from Human Resources.
One candidate did not show for his interview and 1 did not pass. We readvertised and have
received 15 resumes to date.
Police Sergeant—Public Safety/Police—Promotional Exam
Approved by Human Resources 4/4/11 and by Civil Service 4/7/11. There is 1 current vacancy
and the list will also be used for out-of-rank assignments. The job notice was posted in the
Waterloo Police Department and we received 11 resumes. A written test is scheduled for
6/23/11. A panel of current Waterloo Police Department management staff and officers will
interview the candidates.
Storm Water Specialist—Engineering—Open Exam
Approved by Human Resources 4/4/11 and Civil Service 4/7/11. This is a newly created position
needed due to EPA storm water regulations. Advertised in the Courier, posted on the City
website and Cable, notices sent to the agencies, organizations and individuals on the Affirmative
Acton list and posted in all City departments. We received 13 resumes and are still reviewing
them.
NEW BUSINESS
The job description and testing criteria for Waste Water Operator—Waste Management Services
was presented for approval. The Human Resources Committee approved the position on
4/25/11. There are 2 vacancies due to a transfer and a termination. We thought we would be
able to hire off a current list, but the remaining candidates did not work out. We went ahead and
advertised since there were not any changes in the job description and testing criteria so we are
requesting approval of the job notice and description as a procedural process. Ten resumes have
been received to date. Moved by Luce, seconded by Culp to approve the job description and
testing criteria for Waste Water Operator—Waste Management Services. Motion carried.
The job description and testing criteria for Street Foreman — Public Works/Street Department
was presented for approval. The Human Resources Committee approved the position on 4/4/11.
There is a vacancy due to a promotion and the position will be posted as a promotion in all City
departments. The job description has been rewritten to give the foremen more supervisory
responsibility. Moved by Luce, seconded by Culp to approve the job description and testing
criteria for Street Foreman—Public Works/Street Department. Motion carried.
