Chair introduced Introductory Ordinance "0 2 6 - 55" to amend the 2026 sewer fund, eliminating the sewer bureau chief position and adding a sanitary sewer supervisor (an administrative change while certification is obtained); members approved the change by voice vote; the ordinance reduces the personal services line by about $1,152.80.

The Chair introduced Introductory Ordinance "0 2 6 - 55" to amend the 2026 sewer fund budget, saying, "This is to eliminate the sewer bureau chief and add the sanitary sewer supervisor." The Chair described the change as administrative while the new supervisor obtains required certification.

The Chair said the change will yield a reduction in the sewer fund personal services line of about $1,152.80. The Chair then called for a motion; a motion and second were recorded and members responded "Aye" to the Chair's call for a vote. The transcript records approval by voice vote; no roll-call or individual vote tallies appear in the record.

The ordinance as presented restructures staffing on the sewer fund payroll rather than altering program scope; the Chair framed it as an interim administrative step tied to certification requirements for the supervisor. The transcript does not include the name of the supervisor, the bureau chief being replaced, nor any implementation timetable beyond the certification condition.
