As such, staff recommends Matt Stevens for the position of Wastewater <br /> Treatment Systems Chief Operator. <br /> Based on his pay for the Lead Operator position and moving from a non-exempt to an exempt position, <br /> which creates a loss of overtime, staff recommends Mr. Stevens start at step B of pay grade 12. Mr. <br /> Stevens would be eligible to move to step C of pay grade 12 on July 1, 2015. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> Mr. Leirmoe was budgeted at the top of pay grade 12 for all of 2014. With his retirement, fulltime pay <br /> for this division for 2014 will be less than budgeted. <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ <br /> None <br /> P a w E A E U s r <br /> Template Updated 4/14 INIM UREI <br />
