• 3. The position currently budgeted as Engineer -Private Development will be <br />changed to a position known as Environmental Engineer. This position is <br />currently budgeted at $25,000. The new position would call for <br />approximately $44,000 per year in salary. <br />Personnel Director Price has contacted applicants who have been identified <br />through the recruitment process as being potentially qualified for these <br />positions. Discussions as to their salary requirements indicate that <br />approximately $130,000 will be needed in order to recruit those individuals <br />identified as qualified for these positions by Mr. Pinto. This represents an <br />increase of approximately $22;000 over the amounts currently budgeted for <br />the three positions as they are currently titled. An additional 25% should be <br />budgeted for benefits. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />I recommend that the Board approve the re -naming of the three positions and <br />appropriation of funds for salary and benefits as follows: <br />1. Assistant Director of Administration - - - $36,000 plus $2,000 <br />moving allowance plus 25% fringe benefits. <br />2. Assistant Director of Operations and Engineering - - - $45,000 plus <br />fringe benefits at 25%. <br />• <br />3. Environmental Engineer - - - $44,000 plus fringe benefits at 25%. <br />TOTAL - - - $127,000 plus fringe benefits. <br />I recommend the allowance of a few thousand dollars to allow some negotiating <br />room on each of the positions. The funds for this increased salary <br />appropriation ( $28,000) should come from the Utilities Enterprise Fund (471) <br />anticipated cash forward balance., <br />The Acting Administrator noted that position of Assistant <br />Director of Administration is contingent on Mr. Barton's election <br />as Clerk. The second position of Assistant Director of Opera- <br />tions and Engineering would be handling the general supervision <br />of all the plants out in the field that we are responsible for <br />operating. The last position is Environmental Engineer. <br />Chairman Scurlock commented that this is an enterprise fund; <br />so, he believed you increase your revenue side and your expense <br />side because you guess at revenues every year anyway based on the <br />production of the prior year. <br />Director Pinto emphasized that these are not new positions. <br />They were in the budget process, and they were directed at that <br />time to leave all salaries at whatever they were. They knew very <br />well that we weren't going to be able to hire these people for <br />the salaries in the budget; so, in the contingency and cash carry <br />forward, there are adequate funds for the increase. <br />Chairman Scurlock wished to bring up the 20 some odd posi- <br />tions that are in the budget, plant operators, etc., for which, <br />74 <br />NOV 1988 <br />BOOK 75 PAGE 74 <br />
