RECOMMENDATION: The Staff of the Department of Utility Services recommends approval of the following: 1. Conceptual approval of the phased plan for the installation of water facilities as set forth in the attached plan and authorizing design by staff. 2. Approval of a staff position with the salary range of $35,000.00 to $45,000.00 annually to promote and 4` coordinate assessment projects for the installation of water and sewer facilities. Chairman Eggert noted that her only question was regarding the salary range for the proposed staff position, which seemed high. Commissioner Scurlock had the same question. He felt it was important that we move ahead with this project, but felt the salary range would be more in the $30/35,000 range; Chairman Eggert suggested possibly starting at $28,000. Administrator Chandler advised that any time a new position is created, it goes through Personnel, and this hasn't gone that step yet. Director Pinto reported that Personnel is going through their analysis right now, and he really believed that the Board will find the range for this position will be in the area between $35/45,000 annually. Chairman Eggert asked why this is different than a Planner I, for instance. She felt what is needed is someone who is personable and patient and can explain things. Director Pinto stressed this person will have to have some knowledge of both the engineering and financial aspects involved. Board members continued to indicate that they felt what is._ needed for the job is someone with basic intelligence, not necessarily a Master's degree. Commissioner Scurlock did not see them having to be an engineer, but just someone %Nho can understand what an engineer tells them, and Commissioner Wheeler felt that even a base range of $30,000 is high. 69 BOCK P,1U, d O1 OT 2 3 1990 _
