Sanitary engineer reports change order reduction and notifies commissioners of upcoming staff replacement
Summary
Sanitary engineer said a change order will reduce scope because one house no longer qualifies; engineer also asked to place a candidate on next week's agenda to replace retiring engineer Chuck Miller.
Gary Newbrow, Trumbull County sanitary engineer, updated commissioners on items for the sanitary office, including a change order that reduces scope because a previously included house no longer meets program financial qualifications. Newbrow said the house likely changed ownership and the new owner does not qualify for the program, producing a deduction in contract scope.
Newbrow also notified the board that senior engineer Chuck Miller will retire in August and asked that the commissioners consider a candidate for the vacancy at the next meeting. He said the candidate had interviewed previously for another position, is a 2020 graduate of Youngstown State University and currently serves in the Army Reserves; Newbrow asked that the board place the candidate on next week’s agenda for potential hire.
Why it matters: Change orders and staffing in the sanitary office affect infrastructure projects and the office’s capacity to deliver permit and construction oversight.
Unresolved items: Commissioners discussed standard hiring procedures, including advertising and HR background checks; the board indicated it would follow county HR policy and place the hire on a future agenda after required checks.
