Committee approves ordinance to reorganize wastewater treatment plant staffing
Summary
A personnel ordinance to abolish the industrial waste inspector operator classification, create an operations technician operator position, and set compensation was approved by a Newark City Council committee. The move follows a retirement and was estimated to cost about $1,600 annually; committee approved 5-0.
A Newark City Council committee approved an ordinance amending job classifications and pay ranges in the Department of Public Service’s wastewater treatment plant division.
The Director, Department of Public Service, presented the ordinance and said the city will abolish the industrial waste inspector operator classification — the position holder retired in January — and create one additional operations technician operator classification to support succession planning.
A staff member told the committee the change would carry a nominal annual cost of about $1,600 and that funding is available. Committee members moved the ordinance, and the motion passed by voice vote, 5-0.
The ordinance updates the department authorization and compensation tables for the wastewater treatment plant. The committee did not provide an ordinance number, effective date, or a detailed implementation schedule in the recorded discussion.
