J~ Elk River -.; Municipal Utilities 13069 Orono Parkway • P.O. Box 430 Elk River, MN 55330-0430 June 2, 2008 To: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission Jerry Takle John Dietz Jerry Gumphrey From: Bryan Adams Subject: Electric Superintendent Job Description Phone: 763.441.2020 Fax: 763.441.8099 Your staff has been making preparations for the upcoming retirement of the electric superintendent. Because a job description was not previously done, a job description has been drafted and is attached for your review. The duties reflected on this job description are what Glenn Sundeen now does except for item #3. Currently Glenn does the design of underground and overhead distribution system, where in the future it will be assist the manager of operations in the design. One of our commissioners asked if the duties are reduced by assisting in design instead of doing the design should the job evaluation points be reduced. Hay Management Consultants established job points in the 1997 time frame when our organization was much smaller. With the recent retirement of assistant office manager Vivian Schmidt, it appears to be a good time to evaluate all of the management jobs. Hay Consultants Group did this evaluation and their report is enclosed. All of the job points increased except one, due to the increased size of the organization increasing the accountability functions. The water superintendent points decreased because previously this position also was responsible for the electric meter shop. With the addition of Manager of Engineering position, the meter shop responsibilities went from Water Superintendent to Manager of Engineering. The question for this commission is...does the Electric Superintendent job description meet your expectations and how involved do you want to be in the selection process considering we are looking at two internal candidates.
