'ity of <br /> <br />iver <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item #3.8. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Gary Leirmoe, WWTS Chief Operator <br /> <br />May 17, 2000 <br /> <br />Appointment of Lead Operator <br /> <br />Austin Whitford has been with the Elk River Wastewater Department for <br />almost 13 years. He has a good working knowledge of the treatment plant and <br />collection system. I would like to recommend Austin to be moved up to the <br />lead operator position, which has been vacant since September of 1999. Austin <br />has been doing the duties of the lead operator for the past several months. He <br />would move up to pay grade 10, step E to $19.03 per hour. I request that the <br />new pay would start on May 6, 2000. <br /> <br />I concur with Gary's recommendation to move Austin Whitford to the lead <br />operator position. Now that the department is back to full strength, Gary will <br />be taking on more of the administrative responsibilities that have been <br />somewhat "left in limbo" due to the enormous amount of work that had to be <br />handled by the two and three man work crew. Additionally, now that the <br />department is back to full strength, Gary will be completing the time spent <br />profile and, as indicated last October, his title, point ranking, and wagesr.~ will. <br />be evaluated and recommendations on any necessary changes will be "/v]' <br />forthcoming to the City Council. I~ <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />It is recommended that Austin Whitford be moved to the lead operator position <br />effective May 6, 2000, at pay grade 10, step E. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
