Summary

The council adopted O-26-55 to realign sewer-fund staffing lines (eliminating the sewer bureau chief and sanitary sewer supervisor titles) so budget lines reflect current staffing; the roll-call vote was 6-0.

Council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance O-26-55, which amends the 2026 sewer fund budget to eliminate the sewer bureau chief and sanitary sewer supervisor titles and reallocate funds to align with current staffing. The ordinance was presented as an administrative housekeeping and staffing-alignment measure while the city waits for staff to obtain required certifications.

"We have people moving up the chain and we do not have somebody who currently qualifies for the chief title," the commissioner-explainer said, describing the need to reallocate funds to reflect actual positions; once certifications are obtained, the individual could later move into the chief slot. The roll call recorded a 6-0 vote in favor.
