In 2009 the Utilities underwent an organization restructuring. The Utilities also hired a consultant to perform a position description analysis. The Utilities Commission then utilized • staff and City staff to perform a pay structure study. One of the more significant changes resulting from this work was the elimination of responsibilities from the General Manager position and a corresponding reduction in pay grade. This position was retitled Director of Operations. This pay structure study was adopted by the Utilities Commission on August 11, 2009. At that meeting the Commission voted 3-0 to reevaluate the Director of Operation position's responsibilities and pay grade on April 1, 2012. This timing corresponds with the .third anniversary of the creation of the new position and would allow for reevaluation of how the position really functions. In April it will also be time for the annual employee evaluation of the now titled Utilities Director by the Utilities Commission. This requires an advanced notice of a closed meeting under Minnesota Stature 13D.05, Subd. 3(a). I propose that the Commission address both the reevaluation of the position responsibilities /pay grade and the employee annual evaluation at the same meeting. • •
