Committee approves removal of public-works positions; transcript language on titles unclear
Summary
The committee unanimously approved a request from Public Works Director Tim Clardy to remove listed positions from the department complement; the transcript's wording of which exact positions are removed is unclear and the committee recorded no further discussion.
The Committee on Human Resources and Insurance voted unanimously to approve a communication from Public Works Director Tim Clardy requesting removal of positions from the department’s complement.
The request was read into the record as: “Remove 1 assistant drain and superintendent position, grade 19, at 1 highway field supervisor, supervision supervisor position grama 19.” Because the recording and transcription contain unclear phrasing for the specific job titles, the committee’s action is recorded here using the committee’s transcribed language; the exact official job titles and any associated grades were not clarified during the meeting.
A motion to approve the change was made by Alderman Burkes and seconded by Alderman Aldwin Sapienza. The chair called for the question; members responded “Aye” and the motion carried.
There was no substantive discussion on the request recorded in the transcript, and the committee took no additional directions about implementation during the meeting.
The committee adjourned after completing this agenda item.
Because the transcript does not provide clearer job-title language or specify whether the removals are layoffs, reclassifications, or administrative housekeeping, those details are recorded as not specified and will need to be confirmed with the Public Works Department or a later meeting packet.
