Personnel committee approves new foreman position in Public Utilities
Summary
The Stevens Point Personnel Committee approved a proposal by Public Utilities Director Lemke to create a foreman position and remove a lead operator role to align staffing across crews; the motion, made by Committee member Lang and seconded by Committee member Donahue, passed unanimously with no questions from committee or the public.
The Stevens Point Personnel Committee voted June 8 to approve Public Utilities Director Lemke’s request to create an additional foreman position and remove a lead operator position in the Public Utilities Department.
Public Utilities Director Lemke said the change is intended to align the department’s structure with its other crews and to assign leadership responsibilities that have been vacant. “Really as much as anything, finally getting kind of to a structure that we’ve been headed towards for a long time,” Lemke said, adding that the new foreman role would mirror the staffing for two other crews.
The committee offered no questions on the proposal. Committee member Lang moved to approve the personnel change; Committee member Donahue seconded the motion. The chair called the question and recorded members responding “aye.” No members spoke in opposition on the record, and no public or online comments were offered before the vote.
The motion to create a foreman position and remove a lead operator position was approved. The chair then adjourned the meeting at 6:02 p.m. A recording of the meeting is available at stevenspoint.com/videos.
The action adjusts the department’s job structure but the meeting record does not specify effective dates, salary changes, classification details, or next administrative steps; those details were not provided during the committee meeting and are noted as not specified in this account.
