departmental organization can be streamlined which will result in more efficient operations and <br />cost savings resulting in increased reliability and improved customer service. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: A Director's position would be eliminated, producing savings for <br />salary and benefits. This would be offset by the hiring of an Assistant Director in Water and <br />Wastewater. In addition, the salary for the Utility Director would be increased commensurate <br />with the additional duties imposed by combining Electric with Water and Wastewater. Other <br />than the Assistant Director for Water and Wastewater, no additional personnel would be hired to <br />accomplish this restructuring of the utilities. The net cost difference of this proposal should be <br />zero in terms of the existing total budget to the Water and Wastewater Utilities. These changes <br />can be enacted immediately upon approval of the job descriptions and salary ranges as proposed <br />in this report. The salary range for the Assistant Water and Wastewater Utility Director would <br />be set at Range 25, $4,443-$5,400 per month ($53,316-$64,800 annually), the same range as the <br />Assistant Electric Utility Director. The Utility Director's salary will be set at Range 9, $6,713- <br />$8,155 per month ($80,556-$97,860 annually). <br />Thomas' K. Clarke, Electric Utility Director and <br />Interim Water & Wastewater Director <br />RECOMMENDATION: That City Council approve (1) the reorganization of the Electric, <br />Water and Wastewater Utilities into one operating department, (2) the job descriptions for <br />Utility Director and Assistant Water & Wastewater Utility Director, and (3) the resolution <br />setting the basic compensation rates. <br />ghdata/agenda/Reorg UtH&WW.doc <br />
