Cedar City splits wastewater superintendent role, hires two internal leads
Summary
Following a retirement, public works staff split the wastewater superintendent job into separate collections and treatment plant leads; Randy Clove will lead collections and Jeff Leonard will lead the treatment plant, a reorganization staff said is budget-neutral.
Ryan Marshall, Cedar City public works director, told the council the wastewater superintendent retired and staff concluded the division's workload merits two focused superintendent roles. "We felt that this would be a good time to split that superintendent position into 2 and have a lead over the collections division as well as a lead over the treatment plant division," Marshall said.
Marshall said the city revised job descriptions, evaluated compensation and offered both roles to experienced internal candidates. Randy Clove, who has worked for the city 24 years, accepted the collections superintendent role. Jeff Leonard, with roughly 20 years at the city, accepted the treatment plant superintendent role. Marshall told council the changes were implemented by reallocating savings from the retired position and offering adjusted pay to retain internal candidates, and that the change should not increase the city's total budget for the division.
Council members asked about budget and operational impacts; Marshall said any minor internal transfers would be managed within enterprise funds. The council congratulated both employees and asked staff to provide follow-up details to the personnel files and future reporting lines.
