Meeting : Nov 7, 2013 - Workshop Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Recommended Action : Motion to approve the request to advertise a public hearing for adoption of the job description of Water Treatment and Cooling Tower Maintainer. Public Content Approval is being requested to advertise a public hearing for adoption of the job description, Water Treatment and Cooling Tower Maintainer. Mr. Steve Bolton, Program Director of Maintenance, is requesting the new job description. However, this is not a request for an additional position. Mr. Bolton is looking ahead at future retirement and believes the attached job description more accurately depicts what a current position is responsible for rather than the job description, Plumber I. For future replacement of this position Mr. Bolton would like to advertise the position under the new requested job description, Water Treatment and Cooling Tower Maintainer, instead of advertising for a Plumber I. This request is not for an additional position but rather to convert a Plumber I position to a Water Treatment and Cooling Tower Maintainer position. The pay for both positions is based on a pay grade D of the Educational Support Salary Schedule. Therefore, the financial impact of this request is intended to be budget neutral.
