Form B-3 REQUEST FOR PERSONAL SERVICE CHANGES Department: Public Services Supervisor: Rick DeGardner Position Title: Utilities - General Maintenance Worker Budget Impact: $35,821 Water/$36,588 Sewer The Utilities Department (Water and Sewer Departments) consist of 1 Supervisor and 2 General Maintenance Workers. The last staff addition was in 2001. In addition to the increase of infrastructure (well houses, lift stations, water/sewer lines, hydrants, water meters, etc.) to monitor and maintain throughout the past 16 years, the Utilities Department has also assumed additional responsibilities outside the traditional scope of providing water and sewer services. For example, this three-person department also provides maintenance oversight of all government buildings including the Civic Complex (City Hall, Police, New Creations Daycare), both Fire Stations, and Public Works. This includes daily monitoring/adjusting of Civic Complex Boiler & HVAC System, maintaining six boilers, 13 AC units, and 21 Furnaces. The Utilities Department also performs and coordinates miscellaneous building repairs such as plumbing repairs, door repairs, change light bulbs/ballasts, patch roof leaks, painting, and wall repairs. The Utilities Department also assists the Streets Department clearing city streets, cul-de-sacs, trails, and parking lots during snow plow events. This department also coordinates the installation, repair, and maintenance of the civil defense siren system. I have attached a list of current job duties for the Utilities Department. A listserv inquiry was sent to all metro-area cities requesting information from communities not operating a water treatment plant with a population between 15,000 - 30,000. I have attached the responses. Budget Work Session 7-31-17 91
