CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 16, 2001 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERSOFTHE CITY COUNCIL FROM: AL HOLLIMAN, Assistant City Manager/r�'' TERESA S. DELGADO, Human Resources Manager Item #9 SUBJECT: Request Recruitment and Ratification of Employee Appointment to the Full Time Position of Director of Water and Wastewater Operations DATE: October 9, 2001 BACKGROUND: Currently, the City's Electric Utility and Water/Wastewater operations are combined in the Utility Department. As a result of reorganization, the City's Electric Utility and Water/Wastewater operations will be bifurcated, and there is a need to reinstate the position known as Director of Water and Wastewater Operations. Attached is a draft of the job description and the salary range is $6,856 - $8,333 per month. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: For many years, the City of Colton had both an Electric Utility Director and a Water/Wastewater Director. In 1996, as a result of fiscal constraints, the utilities were combined under one department with one director. Acknowledging the impact of the State's energy crises and the increasing separate disciplines associated with electric, water and wastewater utilities, it is once again necessary to separate the utilities and appoint a Director of Water and Wastewater Operations. It is anticipated that the bifurcation of the utilities will allow the Electric Utility Director to better follow the City Council's directive to find more energy and to ensure that the City's electric utility will continue to provide the service expected by the community. Furthermore, with the heightened focus on the water industry in California and the challenges ahead, a separate focus on our water and wastewater operations is highly desirable. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: No applicable FISCAL IMPACT: The salary and benefits for the Director of Water and Wastewater Operations is included in the 2001/02 and the 2002/03 FY budget and will be charged to account number 521-8300-8300-1010 (Salaries), 521-8300-8300-11W (Related Benefits) and allocated equally to Wastewater Utility to GMci PwmlM%Docwi wdmt gendaNdg were cirtna.d
