Palmyra board authorizes hiring ad for wastewater operator, approves staff reassignments
Summary
The Palmyra Board of Public Works authorized advertising for a wastewater plant operator with a Class B license, approved a schedule change for Adam Collins effective March 5 payroll, and placed the building inspector under the electrical manager’s supervision.
The Palmyra Board of Public Works on Feb. 23 authorized several personnel changes after Water/Wastewater Manager Dustin Smith raised staffing concerns at the water/sewer maintenance department and the sewer plant.
Dustin Smith, Water/Wastewater Manager, told the board he wanted to fill a wastewater plant operator position and the board authorized him to advertise for a candidate holding a Class “B” operator license or someone who will obtain that license. The minutes do not list a mover, seconder or a recorded vote on the authorization.
The board also approved changing Adam Collins’s work schedule to 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with the change taking effect on the March 5 payroll. The minutes record Collins by name but do not list a job title for him beyond his association with water/sewer maintenance.
In a separate personnel action, the board placed the building inspector/code enforcement officer position under the supervision of the electrical manager. The minutes state the change was authorized but do not provide additional operational detail or a supervising manager’s name beyond the role.
The meeting record shows Engineer Mark Bross joined the meeting at 10:25 a.m. but does not attribute further discussion of these personnel items to him.
The board’s personnel decisions were recorded without vote tallies in the minutes; the minutes state the actions were authorized during the meeting.
