The position ensures that electrical and water use data is <br />input for billing of customers. The salary range for this position is $3,637 - $4,419 <br />°per month. <br />DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: <br />The Electric Utility Department desires to create an eligibility list for the Senior Meter Reader in <br />preparation for a possible vacancy due to a long-term medical leave of absence with an indefinite date of <br />return. Continuing to hold the position vacant pending a potential but not guaranteed return would <br />substantially undermine the department's ability to operate safely and efficiently. This position provides <br />valuable support to the department and is needed to ensure smooth operation of the meter reading <br />function. Creating an eligibility list at this time would facilitate a smooth transition should the vacancy <br />occur. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />Funds are budgeted in account number 520-8000-8003-1010-0580-000, Salaries, Substation Division. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />None <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST: <br />None <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that City Council approve the request for recruitment and ratification of employee <br />appointment to the position of Senior Meter Reader in the Electric Utility Department. <br />PREPARED BY: <br />Anthony Siegfried, Acting Substation Superintendent <br />REVIEW TEAM ONLY <br />City Attorney: 4- Finance Director: <br />City Manager: OTHER: 2AA C <br />
