UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a) Finance Committee Chair Persson presented a report concurring in the staff recommendation to
authorize the reclassification of the existing Lead Water Utility Pump Station Mechanic position
(Pay Grade a18, Step E) to a newly created Lead Electrical/Control Systems Technician position
(Pay Grade a25, Step E) with the estimated fiscal impact of up to $7,372 in 2018. The fiscal
impact will be to the Water Utility enterprise fund and will not have any impact on the general
fund. The Water Maintenance Section has sufficient funding in its 2018 budget to absorb the
increase in salary and will include a budget adjustment for the increase as part of the next
quarterly budget adjustment ordinance. The Committee further recommended that the Lead
Water Utility Pump Station Mechanic job classification be eliminated.
