Seneca Falls hires interim water/sewer operator at $100/hour after superintendent resignation
Summary
Following the resignation of the water and sewer superintendent, the board approved an interim contract with JT Enterprises at $100 per hour to provide daily sign-off on operations while the town seeks a replacement; the move was presented as a cost-saving alternative to an engineer firm's $320,000/year quote.
The board accepted the resignation of the water and sewer superintendent and authorized an interim contract for daily operations oversight with JT Enterprises at $100 per hour. Officials said state law requires a licensed person to sign off daily at the plant; contracting JT Enterprises was presented as a lower-cost temporary solution while the town advertises to hire a new superintendent.
The Chair described alternative costs and benefits in the record, saying the engineer company option had been quoted near "$320,000 a year," while the interim contract with JT Enterprises was expected to cost roughly "$50,000" for the near term. The board approved the contract and also discussed related lease and staffing arrangements for facilities such as Parker Road. A separate personnel action approved Michael DeLong as a motor equipment operator in public works.
