ITEM #6 <br />CITY OF COLTON <br />AGENDA REPORT <br />FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 19, 2006 <br />TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL; <br />HONORABLE CHAIRPERSON AND UTILITY AUTHORITY MEMBERS <br />FROM: ERIC R. FRASER, DIRECTOR OF WATER & WASTEWATER OPERATIONS <br />0 <br />SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR RECRUITMENT AND RATIFICATION OF <br />ONE EMPLOYEE APPOINTMENT TO THE FULL-TIME POSITION OF <br />WATER UTILITIES OPERATOR. <br />DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2006 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />In anticipation of a possible promotion, there is a need to establish an Eligibility List for a vacancy <br />of the full-time position of Water Utilities Operator to ensure reliable service continues to the <br />Community in a timely manner. The salary range for this position is $3224 — 3920. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />The Water Department currently has three vacancies which affect the number of employees <br />available to serve the City's growing water needs. Due to the current depletion of staff, crews are <br />being spread thin in order to respond to the on-going demand of necessary maintenance and <br />repair of our water system. In addition, due to the lack of manpower, capital improvement <br />projects, i.e., main line replacement, are taking longer to complete, which is causing more <br />inconvenience to residents. Filling these vacancies will help the Department meet its present and <br />future obligations and goals. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />There are budgeted funds in the current fiscal budget for these salaries which will be charged to <br />Account 521-8100-8101-1010-0000-000 (Salaries) and 521-8100-8101-1100-0000-000 (Related <br />Benefits). <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Colton Utility Authority approval of the request for recruitment and <br />ratification of an employee appointment to the full-time position of Water Utility Operator in the <br />Water Department. <br />Prepared by: Mike Medina <br />REVIEW TEA Y <br />City Attorney: 1 Finance Director: Q' <br />City Manager: OTHER: e <br />
