Agenda Item
#: 6-1
Title: Approval of Permits for Canyonlands Half Marathon
Fiscal Impact: Law enforcement and other city services are needed to support this
event. These costs, amounting to several thousand dollars, have been budgeted for.
The special event, park and beer permit fees provide revenue to the city, as does the
sales tax generated by the purchase of goods and services by the participants of the
event.
Staff Presenter(s): Rachel Stenta
Department: Recorder
Applicant: Moab Half Marathon, Inc.
Background/Summary:
Moab Half Marathon, Inc. has submitted all of the required applications to hold the
annual Canyonlands Half Marathon, utilizing Swanny City Park, the Center Street Gym,
Suncourt, and the City right-of-way. Note that one of the beer gardens shown in the
permit applications in located on 400 North Street. City code allows for this so long as
the street is shut down and all other permit requirements are met. The Special Event
Permit entails the closing of 400 North Street. Approval of the Special Business Event
License and the Special Event Beer License applications assume approval of the
locations for the beer gardens. The Canyonlands Half Marathon is a long-standing
event with established protocols and procedures and excellent coordination with the
City, Grand County and other agencies. This event rarely generates complaints and is
well -run. The event provides broad -based benefits to the community, justifying use of
Swanny City Park for the event.
Please note that several of the required/permits are contingent upon other approvals.
The following approvals are needed:
1. Approval of a Special Business Event License
2. Approval of a Class IV Special Event Beer License
3. Approval of a Park Use Permit for Swanny City Park
4. Conditional Approval of a Park Alcohol Permit for Swanny City Park
5. Approval of Local Consent for a state -issued Special Event Beer Permit
Agenda
Page 5 of 145
The City Special Events Committee has reviewed the applications for the required
permits and licenses for the Canyonlands Half Marathon. We have conferred with the
coordinator for the event and are of the opinion that all issues have been or will be
adequately dealt with. Approval of the Park Alcohol Permit should be conditioned upon
securing state approval of the Special Event Beer Permit and submitting said permit
and documentation to the City.
Options: For each item, the Council may approve, approve with conditions, deny or
postpone the item.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommend approval of all items with the following
conditions (new recommendations in italics):
1. Porta-potties should be located on the pavement on soo West, ensuring that
there is no impedance or obstruction of the crosswalk or crossing signs on soo
West. Porta-potties shall not be located on the grass.
2. City vehicles behind the Center Street Gym will be moved by end of the day on
March so.
3. After cars are moved from behind the Center Street Gym parking lot to provide
for marathon staff loading and unloading, Moab Half Marathon staff will
barricade the parking spots to ensure that parking is reserved for Canyonlands
Half Marathon use.
4. No vehicles parked behind center street gym can be parked two vehicles deep —
this blocks Emergency Medical Service vehicle access exiting the adjacent Grand
County EMS driveway.
5. All park fees need to be paid at least two weeks prior to the event.
6. Approval of the Park Alcohol Permit should be conditioned upon securing State
of Utah approval of the Special Event Beer Permit and submitting said permit
and documentation to the City.
7. Moab Half Marathon, Inc. shall ensure that no official event organizer consumes
alcohol in the approved beer gardens while acting under the auspices of the
event.
8. Moab Half Marathon, Inc., shall ensure that all areas where alcohol is consumed
are at least soo feet away from the Skate Park, the Aquatic Center building, and
the delineated playground.
g. Moab Half Marathon shall facilitate normal pre -event coordination with city
staff.
so. We know that flyers on parked cars have been an issue at previous events. We will
contact any distributors of flyers. We ask that you make your vendors and
participants aware that flyers on vehicles are prohibited and encourage them to
drop any flyers off at the City.
sz. On Friday, March 20 no street closure allowed on yoo North or MiVida until after
Sao PM to accommodate the HMK and After School Club dismissal.
12. The City Council adopted a traffic control fee for special events this past
year. Given the history of community and city contributions made by the
Agenda
Page 6 of 145
Canyonlands Half Marathon, City Staff will be recommending a waiver of the
traffic control fee for your event.
Recommended Motion:
"I move to approve (insert name of agenda item), subject to the twelve conditions
outlined in the Agenda Summary for the Approval of Permits for the Canyonlands Half
Marathon"

Title: Moab City 500 West Water Line Project Change Order Request
Fiscal Impact: $56,650.00 and 10 working day project extension
Staff Presenter(s): Jeff Foster

Applicant: If Applicable

MOAB
Background/Summary: On January 6, 2015 a water line break occurred at
500 West just South of Williams Way. While determining a course of action it was
determined that the water line was at a depth of approximately twenty two feet. It
was also determined that repair of the pipe at that depth would be very difficult
and costly. Mesquite Incorporated is on site and in the middle of constructing a
new water line going South from the approximate location of the pipe break. It
was clear that we needed to look at other options to repair the water line. We
determined that the best solution would be to extend the 500 West Water Line
Project North to the Williams Way intersection where the depth of pipe is much
more accessible. The change order attached, covers the cost of the extra pipe
that would need to be installed to bypass the broken line. With this addition in the
project length, we will have a reasonably new PVC water line all the way along
500 West to Kane Creek Boulevard. The connection of the new water line to the
old line would need to be much deeper than previously anticipated, and the cost
for the connection would have been a change order in the range of $25.000 to
$30,000. With this change order we avoid these additional costs and abandon all
old water line along 500 West.

Options: Approve the change order or deny the change order.
Staff Recommendation: The Public Works department recommends
approving the change order.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve the change order from Mesquite
Incorporated in the amount of $56,650 allowing an additional 10 working days to
complete the construction.

AGENDA SUMMARY
MOAB CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January 27, 2015
Agenda ltem
#: 7-3
Ili
Title: Approval of Proposed Resolution #05-2015 — A Resolution Amending the
Moab City Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
Fiscal Impact: Reduction in Compensated Absences (Unfunded Liability)
Staff Presenter(s): Rachel Stenta, City Recorder/Assistant City Manager
Department: Recorder/Human Resources
Applicant: N/A
Background/Summary: The Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual was
last updated in 2009. The manual states that:
"At least every three (3) years, these rules should be reviewed in total for overall
application, reasonableness and general suitability for the purpose for which they
are intended. The responsibility for the review is at the direction of City Council."
Staff has been compiling changes over the past several years and has
completed revisions to the attached manual (a list of significant changes is
attached). The most significant fiscal changes are to our compensated absences
policies — Vacation and Sick Leave.
As of this meeting, our compensated absences total over $394,000. This is an
unfunded liability, meaning it represents a bill that we owe that we have not set
funds aside to cover. As you may recall, our auditors mentioned that we should
revise our policy to limit compensated absences. The new sick policy is modeled
after the State Administrative Rules and is explained in the attached summary
along with changes to the Vacation policy. Other changes are mainly
administrative and are summarized on the attached sheet.
The proposed changes have been disseminated and discussed with department
heads and when approved, we will conduct a training session with City
employees to explain changes and answer questions.
If you have any questions regarding the changes, please let me know.

Options: Approve, postpone or deny.

Summary of proposed significant changes
to the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
This is an outline of significant additions and changes to the Moab City Personnel Policies and
Procedures Manual. A few summaries are included for your reference, but with all changes or additions
listed, please refer to the draft policy that is attached for a detailed description.
Additions:
SECTION: 3.9 ON -CALL DUTY (PUBLIC WORKS) PAGE 8
This section formalizes the on -call pay program for the Public Works Department that was previously
implemented by administrative memo.
SECTION: 4.20 CELL PHONE REIMBURSEMENT PAGE 19
This section was added to incorporate the reimbursement for employee use of personal cell phones for
City business.
SECTION' 6.9 SMOKE FREE WORKPLACE POLICY
PAGE 29
This section was added comply with state regulations regarding a smoke free workplace and includes
definitions and policies.
SECTION: 6.10(E) DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY PAGE 32
This section was added to formalize the Pre -Employment Screening policies of the Recreation
Department.
SECTION: 6.13 FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS
This section was added to outline a fitness for duty evaluation policy and outline the circumstances
when an evaluation may be necessary.
SECTION: 7.21 PROMOTION —JOB TRACK PAGE 48
This section was added to outline Job Track Promotions and to define which positions are eligible for
those promotions.
SECTION: 10.17 ACCEPTABLE USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES
PAGE 62
This section was added to define policies for the acceptable use of city computers and other information
technology resources. This policy was modeled after the state of Utah Administrative Rules.

Agenda
Page 52 of 145
Page 1 of 3
Changes:
SECTION 3.11 SEPARATION PAY PAGE 8
Formalizes the policy that longevity pay is not pro -rated upon separation.
SECTION: 4.1 VACATION PAGE 9
This section has been modified to limit the amount of vacation that can be cashed out on the
employee's anniversary date to 40 hours (previously there was no limit). This change is to recognize
that vacation is intended to provide the benefit of taking time away from work to foster a healthier
workplace. The effective date of this change will be in one year to allow all employees adequate time to
plan vacations for the time they have currently accrued.
The accrual of vacation has also been modified to a more consistent step schedule. This represents no
loss of vacation for any employees.
SECTION: 4.3 SICK LEAVE PAGE 10
This section has been changed to split sick leave into two programs: Program I and Program II. Program
II will begin on February 1, 2015. All Sick Leave balances up to that date will be held in Program I and
frozen at the current hourly rate for each employee. Program I balances can be cashed out down to
240 hours and will be cashed out upon termination, consistent with the previous policies. All sick leave
hours accrued after February 1, 2015 will be Program II hours.
Program II hours are not compensable annually or upon termination (cannot be cashed out). Program II
does offer a retirement benefit of a 25% contribution of the employee's unused Program II sick hours to
a qualified 401k upon retirement from service with the City.
The reason for this change to the sick leave policy is that the city currently carries unpaid sick leave
liability of $330,000 which compounds annually by approximately 5% (increasing by both merit and
COLA). This is a significant unfunded liability for the City. The revision to this policy maintains current
employee sick leave balances in Program I — representing no loss to existing employees — and
implements a new sick leave accrual policy moving forward from February 1, 2015.
SECTION 4.4 ADMINISTRATION OF SICK LEAVE PAGE 12
This section further defines appropriate methods of sick leave notification, prohibiting text and instant
messages as official notifications.
SECTION 4.8 WORKER'S COMPENSATION
This section now mirrors the Utah Administrative Rules for Worker's Compensation Leave regarding
accrual of benefits, returning to work and the maximum amount of Worker's Compensation Leave time
allowed in a 24 month period.
SECTION 4.9 EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN PAGE 15
This section now includes the definition and eligibility of Tier 2 employees for the Utah Retirement
Systems Pension Plans.
Agenda
Page 53 of 145
Page 2 of 3
SECTIONS: 4.12 HEALTH INSURANCE PAGE 16
4.13 DENTAL INSURANCE PAGE17
These sections have been revised to include an employee portion of insurance premiums, to eliminate
the exempt deductible reimbursement, to eliminate an outdated disability provision for payment of
premiums and to formalize the employer premium pro -ration for employees on leave status.
SECTION: 4.19 FITNESS BENEFIT PAGE 19
This section has been modified to include the Moab Recreation and Aquatic Center (MRAC) benefit for
all City employees, as well as defining the enhanced benefit for all MRAC part time employees.
SECTION: 5.10 FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE PAGE 23
This section has been modified to mirror the Utah Administrative Rules regarding Family Medical Leave
regarding requests and notifications.
SECTION: 7.22 SEPARATION
This section has been modified to be consistent with City non-discrimination policies.
SECTION: 10.4 REIMBURSEMENT FOR TRAVEL EXPENSEc PAGE 57

policies for travel expenses.

Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
INTRODUCTION
i Mission Statement for the City of Moab
It is the mission of the City of Moab to provide quality, efficient services to Moab
citizens and business owners. It is our mission to be accessible, accountable, and
responsive to the public in all our dealings. It is our mission to promote the best
interests of the citizenry at large, and to deal with individuals fairly, professionally
and compassionately.
ii Purpose of Personnel Policies and Procedures
The City of Moab Personnel Policies and Procedures are meant to further the
mission of the City. These policies are rules of general application concerning
hiring, promotion, pay and benefits, and employee discipline. These policies shall
not be regarded as a contract, whether express or implied, between the City of Moab
and each employee. The City reserves the right to rescind, modify, or amend these
policies and procedures from time to time, and all such changes shall be binding
upon employees. Employees are advised that these rules cannot anticipate each and
every employment situation, and that special cases may warrant departures or
modifications of policy by the supervisor or appointing authority.
Employees are further advised that policies which create financial obligations on
the part of the City are subject to modification depending upon budgetary
constraints imposed by state law.
All employees, other those appointed by written contract, are advised that they are
appointed for an indefinite term of employment. Termination from employment
shall be governed by state law, and this manual is specifically intended to
implement statutory provisions. However, with respect to discharge, this manual
shall not be construed to confer upon employees procedural or substantive rights in
excess of those already provided by state statute.
ARTICLE I - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY POLICY
1.1 General Statement
It shall be the policy of the City of Moab to comply with the spirit of Equal
Employment Opportunity with regard to personnel actions in classification,
development, training, upward mobility, job specification, recruitment, promotion,
demotion, discipline, layoff, or termination for all employees and applicants. There
shall be no unlawful discrimination in any personnel action on the basis of a
person's race, religion, sex, color, creed, national origin, sexual orientation,
ancestry, age, marital or veteran status, or non job related physical or mental
disability. The term "sex" as provided herein includes unlawful discrimination in
the form of sexual harassment, as further defined in this policy.

and federal law, the City does hereby actively promote equal
opportunity of employment in the areas mentioned above.
(B) Responsibility for insuring compliance and continued
implementation of the City's policy of Equal Employment
Opportunity shall be assigned to the City Manager. Such
compliance will be checked on an annual basis.
1.3 Dissemination of City Policy
The City's policy on non-discrimination will be brought to the attention of all
employees by the department head at the time of hiring. Regular meetings with all
elected officials, department heads, supervisors, and related personnel of the City
will be conducted. The primary purpose of such meetings will be to familiarize
employees with the contents of this plan and to further inform them of their specific
and individual responsibilities with regard to Equal Employment Opportunity.
1.4 Program Application and Responsibility
All levels of management within the City organization are responsible for the
proper implementation of the Equal Employment Opportunity Policy as outlined
herein.

preference to qualified veterans as defined in Utah State Code
Annotated Chapter 10.
(B) Placement - All position descriptions and corresponding statements
of minimum qualifications shall be related directly to job duties and
responsibilities. Such qualifications will be reviewed periodically to
insure their accuracy.

of the discrimination or refuses to resolve the problem, with the City Manager.
Grievance procedures shall be in accordance with Section 9.3 of this manual.
1.8 Sexual Harassment Policy
Agenda
(A) It is the City's policy that the management and employees of the
City shall not tolerate sexual harassment.
(B) Sexual Harassment occurs when an employee is subjected to
unwelcome conduct, based on sex, which is severe or pervasive and
occurs in one or more of the following circumstances:
(1) The conduct is either an explicit or implicit condition of an
individual's employment;
(2) Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used
as a basis for employment decisions affecting the individual, such
as salary or advancement; or
(3) Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering
with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating,
hostile or offensive working environment.
Conduct which can be considered sexual harassment includes, but is not limited to,
unwelcome sexual advances, jokes of a sexual nature, unwelcome comments about
a person's clothing or appearance, stories or comments about a person's sexual
behavior, sexually explicit photographs or pictures, or unwelcome touching of a
sexual nature. Sexual harassment is a violation of these policies and specifically
the Equal Employment Opportunity Policy.
(C) Employees who are subject to sexual harassment or who personally
observe such conduct should report the conduct to their department
head. The department head shall convey all reports of sexual
harassment to the Personnel Officer. If the department head is the

source of the conduct or refuses to resolve the problem, the

Equal Employment Opportunity Grievances.

seasonal employees.
(B) These rules do not apply to the employment, benefits, and salaries
of the City Manager, elected officials, contractors, and members of
policy, advisory, review, and appeal boards, or similar bodies,

3.3 Salary Policy
The City Manager and department heads shall be responsible for the development

3.4 Step -Increment Pay Plan
Employees are classified according to pay ranges, each of which includes a series

the merit of the employee. Salary increases along the step increment pay plan may
be awarded after the completion of an evaluation of the employee by the employee's
superior, and upon approval of the employee's supervisor, the department head and
the City Manager. Eligibility for salary increases may be limited by budgetary
considerations as determined by the City Manager. Evaluations of job performance
should be performed at the end of the employee's probationary period and annually
on the employment date of the employee. Other periodic evaluations of employee
performance may be performed. Pay ranges may be adjusted periodically on the
basis of annual surveys of salaries paid for comparable work in other municipalities
within the State of Utah, within the limits of federal wage and price guidelines.

also establish a minimum period of overtime for calls to work, such
as court appearances, where the work is canceled upon or after
arrival of the employee.

The objective of this section is to provide methods of furthering the health and
general welfare of city employees, as well as ensuring maximum and reasonable

rather, it is a privilege of paid time away from work duties in the event of one of
the following circumstance:

job setting, except where such injury/illness occurred in connection
with off -duty (outside) employment;

member, as defined in these personnel rules, is required due to the
immediate family member's illness or injury;

immediate family members, when such appointments cannot be
arranged during off -duty hours, and when the employee's immediate
family member is incapable of independently attending such
appointments;

members.
Immediate family includes the employee's parents, step-parents, children, step-
children, siblings, grandparents, and in-laws.

leave as of December 31, 2014 shall be set and recorded at the effective
rate of pay on that date. Sick leave balances for Program I are payable
upon separation at the Program I recorded hourly rate of pay. Any sick
hours used during the remaining employment term will be deducted
from the Program II hours first and then residual hours used will be
deducted from Program I hours after Program II hours are depleted.
B. Program II (effective January 1, 2015) Classified employees, statutory
appointees, and contractual employees shall accrue sick leave at the rate
of four hours for each pay period of service. Holidays falling on regular
working days within such period shall be credited as a day of service.
Sick leave shall accrue to an available maximum of 480 hours (12
weeks) except as provided herein.

10.4 Reimbursement for Travel Expenses

purpose of conducting City business for travelers within the scope of this
policy. Travel must be pre -authorized by a supervisor and must have a clear

work or elsewhere that might cause embarrassment to, or criticism of the City.
Sometimes the city employee is the only contact the private citizen has with
municipal government. Although the citizen may not always be right, he does have
a vested interest in the City and its government. Therefore, it is essential that the
attitudes and actions of the employees, both on and off the job, bring credit to the
City.
10.6 Attire and Appearance

employees give attention to safety, modesty, cleanliness and professional

10.14 Employee Civil Action Legal Defense, Indemnity
Agenda
(A) Civil Actions: Pursuant to U.C.A. 63-30-36 et seq. all employees that are
named as a defendant in a civil law suit arising out of an act or omission
occurring during the performance of employee duties; within the scope of
employment; or under color of authority are entitled to legal defense by the
City at no cost to the employee, provided the employee complies with the
provisions of the law.
(B) A request for indemnity shall be made by the employee in writing within
ten days of the service of the summons, complaint, or other process on the
employee, or such longer period of time as will not prejudice the ability of
the City or its insurance carrier to defend the law suit.
(C) Should an employee fail to timely request defense, or fail to cooperate in
the defense of the law suit the City may elect to withdraw from defense of
the suit. In that event the employee will be solely responsible for the
defense of the lawsuit, any costs of defense, and any judgment or settlement
that may result against the employee.
(D) The City may decline to defend should it appear that the suit does not allege
conduct falling within the course and scope of employment. Alternately,
the City may defend subject to a reservation of its rights, which means that
it may defend pending a determination of whether the act or omission
subject to the suit occurred during the course and scope of the employee's
duties. If it is later determined that the act or omission did not occur as part
Page 119 of 145
/2015 rApersonnel\personnel manual\final revision 2015.docx C0
City of Moab
Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
of the employee's official duties the City will not be obligated to pay any
judgment or settlement that results from the law suit. In that case the
employee will be responsible for payment.
(E) Employees are advised that under state law, suits derived from an employee
driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or suits in which the
employee engages in intentional misconduct, fraud, or malicious acts are
not subject to defense or indemnity by the City.
(F) The City shall pay any judgment or settlement against an employee where
it undertakes defense and that defense is not subject to a reservation of
rights.
10.15 Employee Criminal Action Legal Defense Costs
(A) Criminal Actions: Pursuant to U.C.A. 63-30a-2, as amended, all employees
that are named a defendant in a criminal action are not entitled to legal
defense by the City, even if the act or omission occurred during the
performance of the employee's duties, within the scope of employment, or
under color of authority. Employees that are prosecuted for these acts must
retain and pay for their own legal counsel. If the charge is based upon acts
or omissions occurring during the performance of official duties, within the
scope of employment, or under color of authority, and the prosecution is
dismissed on motion of the defense, results in a judgment of acquittal, or if
an information is quashed, the employee may recover from the City
reasonable attorney fees and court costs necessarily incurred in the matter.
However, the employee is not entitled to reimbursement of any attorney fees
and costs where the case is dismissed by motion of the prosecuting attorney.
(B) If an employee is acquitted of some of the charges but convicted on others,
the employee shall be entitled to reimbursement for that portion of his
reasonable defense costs necessarily incurred which are attributed to the
defense of the counts that were dismissed or for which the employee was
acquitted, except that if the underlying conduct is substantially the same for
both the counts resulting in conviction and the counts that are dismissed
there is no right of reimbursement at all.
(C) It is the policy of the City to reimburse employees for defense costs only to
the extent required by law. Employees are advised that unreasonable,
unnecessary, or excessive legal expenses will not be reimbursed. In
evaluating a claim for reimbursement the City will carefully scrutinize legal
bills based upon the seriousness of the charge, the time necessary to prepare
for trial, whether or not the case went to trial, the extent of pre-trial motions
and hearings, the reasonableness of the attorney's hourly rate, and related
factors. In no instance will the City reimburse for attorney fees in excess of
$150.00 per hour, unless the rate is approved by action of the City Council
in advance. If the City declines to reimburse, or should it reimburse only in
part, the employee will be solely responsible for payment of any remainder.
The City will not reimburse for interest on unpaid attorney fee accounts.

AGENDA SUMMARY
MOAB CITY COUNCIL MEETING
January27, 2015
Agenda. ltem
#:7-5 & 7-6
Title: Approval of the Water Superintendent and Sewer Superintendent Job
Descriptions
Fiscal Impact: Approval of these job descriptions would not have an appreciable
financial impact on the budget
Staff Presenter(s): Donna Metzler, City Manager
Department: Public Works/Administration
Background/Summary:
Over the past couple of years, Public Works Director Jeff Foster and I have been
analyzing the staff, administrative, maintenance, infrastructure planning and other
demands in the Water and Sewer Department. What we have found is that there are too
many demands placed on the current position of Water and Sewer Superintendent to
adequately meet all of the needs of our water and sewer systems. With the level of state
reporting, maintenance monitoring and other functions required for both water and sewer
functions, we found that significant aspects of the demands of these departments were
not being met. For example, it was found that the City had been neglectful of our sewer
line maintenance program. In response to this situation, the public works director and I
put together performance plans for both water and sewer functions and made temporary
assignments to provide for concentrating on meeting the provisions of these
performance plans. The water and sewer superintendent was reassigned to be
responsible only for the sewer division performance plan, and a long-time water
department employee at the level of Water Service Worker III was assigned to be
responsible for the water division performance plan. Jeff Foster took on the
responsibility of water and sewer superintendent, in addition to his other duties. This
arrangement has been in effect for approximately six months.
This arrangement has worked well with respect to satisfying the various performance
objectives for the individual divisions. Our maintenance schedules are back on track,
communication has been enhanced, regulatory concerns have been addressed, etc. The
only drawback to this arrangement is that the time demands on the public works director
to manage the performance objectives and higher level functions of the divisions such as
management of the many regulatory reporting requirements and ensuring cohesiveness
between water and sewer functions have been considerable. This trial arrangement has
given support to the need to have two separate superintendents for the water and sewer
divisions, as well as a water and sewer utility manager to oversee both utility functions to
provide much -needed administrative coordination.
Given this, we have created two new job descriptions: the Water Division Superintendent
and the Sewer Division Superintendent. The duties of the existing water and sewer
superintendent have been divided accordingly in these new job descriptions. In addition,
1
Agenda
Page 129 of 145
important elements of the departmental performance plans have been included, so that
the City may keep up on specific maintenance, regulatory and reporting issues. One of
these descriptions is a reclassification of the existing water and sewer superintendent
position into the sewer superintendent position. A reclassification happens when a job
description needs to be changed to reflect the actual duties of the person in the job. A
reclassification allows the person in the old position to keep employment with the city,
but under a new job description. The newly described/classified positions would be
offered at a Level 14, which is one grade below the current Water and Sewer
Superintendent position, given that the job descriptions reflect a net reduction in
responsibilities from the current water and sewer superintendent position. In this case,
there would be no decrease in the level of pay for the person in the current water and
sewer superintendent under the newly classified position of sewer division
superintendent, given longevity and other factors.
For the water superintendent position, we would advertise the position internally. The
person currently performing the duties of water superintendent could apply for the
position, along with any other qualified city employees, including the person in the newly
classified position of sewer superintendent. The idea is to create two new positions, but
not hire two new employees. For example, if a Water Service Worker III were to apply
for the water superintendent position, the City would not fill the vacated lower position.
The City fully expects a current employee to apply for the new position. If this does not
happen, staff will come back to Council for discussion and approval before we add an
additional employee. In no case will we encumber the City beyond its budget.
At a later date, we should also approve water and sewer utility manager position that
would perform the higher level administrative and other functions for the water and
sewer functions that the public works director is performing now. This person would
provide supervision and guidance to the water and sewer superintendents. However,
since this would be a new position, this would need to be discussed in the upcoming
budget process. We could create the job description, but not fill the position unless and
until funds are available to fill it.
All employees who would be immediately affected by these changes have been
personally informed of the changes and they have indicated that they understand and
concur with the changes.
Options: The City Council may approve the job descriptions as presented, approve the
descriptions with changes, not approve the descriptions, or postpone approval of the
changes pending the receipt of additional information.
Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the water and sewer job
descriptions as presented.
Recommended Motion: "I move to approve the Sewer Superintendent Job
Description as presented" AND "I move to approve the Sewer Superintendent Job
Description as presented."
