Summary

Council authorized splitting an existing senior public‑works position into senior parks and senior buildings roles, ratified MOU amendments adding certification incentives, and approved a temporary 1,000‑hour meter‑reading post with an approximate $25,798 salary impact.

City staff told council they are seeking to optimize Public Works after a vacancy by splitting a combined senior position into separate senior parks and senior buildings roles and by amending the CCEA MOU to include required certifications and pay incentives. City Manager (speaker 3) said the change was already included in the adopted budget and that the MOU adds required certifications such as OSHA‑30, facility management certification and electrical instrumentation technology grade 1 for the building senior role.

Staff also requested a temporary 1,000‑hour position to cover water‑meter reading and other duties while employees take family‑medical leave. The city manager summarized the fiscal impact: "Which is approximately $25,000, a little bit a little bit more. 25,798, dollars for the position split between water and sewer, a little over 12,000 a piece." Council moved, seconded and voted unanimously to approve the position control change, MOU amendments and related budget amendments.
