Summary

The board introduced Wayne Murray and Jeff Synindelick as newly accepted assistant manager hires and approved motions to begin hiring for water and wastewater backfills, including replacing a retiring 26-year employee, Donnie Rashi.

At the June 15 meeting the Jasper Utility Service Board introduced two internal hires and authorized several backfill recruitments to address retirements and role changes.

General Manager Rob Young announced that Wayne Murray accepted the assistant wastewater manager position and Jeff Synindelick accepted the assistant manager position for gas and water. Both were introduced briefly; Murray said he has been with the city about 10 years and Synindelick said he has been with the city about 12 years.

The board authorized staff to begin the hiring process to backfill the water distribution crew leader position and additional wastewater maintenance technician vacancies created by internal moves and an upcoming retirement. Wastewater Manager Ed Holland notified the board that Donnie Rashi will retire July 24 after 26 years of service; the board approved replacing his role.

Board members asked staff to return with final staffing plans and position descriptions before filling some internal positional changes; motions to authorize recruitment were approved by voice vote.

Next steps: staff will publish job postings, start recruitment for approved backfills and return to the board with proposed staffing plans and any revisions to position descriptions.
