Council outlines recruitment for relief city operator and considers higher pay range
Summary
Councilors reviewed the relief city operator job posting, emphasized Class 1 wastewater certification and a six-month public-works preference, and discussed raising the pay range to $16–$17 to attract candidates; Clerk said the first application review is Jan. 6.
Councilors reviewed details for the relief city operator vacancy and emphasized technical qualifications and task alignment. Chair (S1) and Clerk (S2) said the posting should note a willingness to obtain Class 1 certification in wastewater collection and treatment; Clerk (S2) also confirmed the posting will prefer six months of public-works experience and will remove portal-maintenance duties that were not actually being performed.
Clerk (S2) proposed increasing the advertised pay range from $15–$16 to $16–$17 to make the job more appealing, noting the current minimum wage is $14.70 and that the previous operator had approached $16. "What's minimum wage now? $14.70," Clerk (S2) said. The council set the first review of applications for Jan. 6 and discussed longer-term staffing transitions for portal and parks maintenance.
