Council backs budgeting a public‑works supervisor; cost to be borne by enterprise funds
Summary
Staff proposed formalizing a public‑works supervisor role to reflect expanded supervisory duties; councilors agreed the cost would be charged to enterprise funds (water/sewer/storm) with no levy impact and asked staff to include the position in budget documents for later adoption.
City staff recommended creating a public‑works supervisor position to reflect supervisory duties that have evolved in the lead role. Jasper Krugel said the role arose after duties shifted following a promotion and the change was recommended by the public‑works director to address supervision and union‑pay hierarchy issues.
Krugel told council the general fund impact would be negligible and the enterprise fund would capture the cost, meaning sewer, water and storm rates would reflect the change rather than the property tax levy. Councilors voiced no objection to placing the position in the budget; final adoption of the position and its pay would occur during the usual budget approval process.
