Felix Cooper ITEM No. S County Manager C. Ed Hilton, Jr., P. E.. Director @ Engineering and Facilities ~ Sewer District - Personnel and Equipment Needs FROM: RE: As you have previously notified the Commissioners, staff has been analyzing the current and immediate future needs of the growing sewer system. This submittal includes our recommendations and request for new positions, re-classifications, and new equipment. Attached are job descriptions for the positions and a table showing our needs projected for this fiscal year plus the next five years. While all positions indicated as needed are not Engineering slots, all new positions are needed due to the impact of the system. All positions indicated perhaps with the exception of the Assistant Finance Director will be fully funded through the Sewer District. All equipment will be funded through the Sewer District. I will describe what we are requesting and why. As a summary I will provide specific action we are requesting. It should be noted that both the Commissioners and the Sewer District Board need to act on the recommendations. I will first address personnel needs: Clerk Typist III (Range 56) - One (1) position needed. This position will provide secretarial assistance to the Engineering Secretary in preparing the paperwork for acquisition of easements, processing payments, processing tap requests (approximately 10,000 anticipated by 1994). The current clerical staff simply cannot absorb the additional work from the sewer development without assistance. \ \ \ \\ '\ ~ Mr. Cooper Page #2 January 13, 1986 Utility Engineer (Range 70) - One (1) position needed. This position is a technician supervisory slot. The position will supervise the three (3) existing inspector positions and provide plan review and analysis. Meter Reader (Range 57) - Four (4) positions needed. This position involves field work in reading and recording water consumption for billing purposes and replacing malfunctioning water meters. Utility Helper (Range 57) - One (1) new position needed. One position existing at Grade 53. Requesting upgrade of the position. The position involves skilled work in assisting the foreman on the maintenance crew. Utility Maintenance Foreman (Range 63) - One (1) hew position needed. One position existing at Grade 65. Requesting down grade of position. The position involves technical and supervisory work as leadman on the maintenance crew. Utility Maintenance Supervisor (Range 68) - One (1) position needed. The position provides supervision and coordination of all field maintenance crews in the daily operation and maintenance of the water and sewer systems. Heavy Equipment Operator II (Range 61) - Two (2) positions needed. The position provides skilled work in the operation of heavy equipment including trucks, backhoes, sewer jet, etc., in the daily operation and maintenance of the water and sewer system. ~ccounting Technician I (Range 59) - One (1) position needed. The position provides for processing billing and collections for the water and sewer systems. The position will be assigned to Finance. Assistant Finance Director (Range 78) - One (1) position needed. (See attached justification). Mr. Cooper Page #3 January 13, 1986 Equipment needs are as follows: Radio System - Initial cost $500,000 - $750,000 to be financed over five (5) years. The sewer pump stations (some 70-~00 in number) will be monitored by radio signal. For normal utility voice communication an additional system would need to be utilized. We have found a system that can combine both systems. Ultimately, other departments can also come into the system providing day-to-day.communication operations on a fleet and sub-fleet basis without cross interference. In times of emergency the separate radios can be combined to operate as an emergency network thus providing a control communications system which has been a weakness in past events. I am working with our COG regional office to search for grants to assist with this purchase. Trucks - To be bid. Various size vehicles are needed to provide support for inspectors, maintenance crews, and meter readers. Backhoe and Trailer - To be bid. This major equipment is need to provide excavation capabilities for maintenance, repair, and sewer tap construction. Sewer Jet - To be bid. This major piece of equipment is needed to clean the sewer pipes. Miscellaneous Equipment This includes pumps, soil compactors, air compressor, desks, chairs, tables, files, saws, etc. All these items are necessary for support functions for the sewer system. These equipment and personnel needs are considered minimum for operation and maintenance of the system. I request you review these and present them to the Sewer Board and County Commissioners at the January 20th meeting. The Sewer Board should endorse these needs and the County Commissioners need to take the fOllowing action: (1) Approve the following positions and re-classifications to be filled in the fiscal years indicated. (a) Clerk Typist III at Grade 56 (One new position) - Fiscal Year 1985. (b) Utility Engineer at Grade 70 (One new position) - Fiscal Year 1985.

Over 20,000 invoices have been processed through 1-9-86 of this FY. Increase in magnitude of Capital Project Budgets: With the impact of the Water and Sewer Construction Projects and the Airport Terminal Building Project, the County will be spending in excess of $85,000,000 over the next five to seven years. Additional responsibilities since FY 78-79: Emergency medical services receivables Airport receivables Parking tickets Incinerator charges Water charges Sewer charges Grants management In-house preparation of: Annual Financial Report Indirect Cost Plan Finance Director's additional supervisory responsibilities with MIS and Tax Department. The overall impact of the above has led to the majority of the Finance Director's time being taken up by the day-to-day operations. With the increase in the variety of responsibilities and the in- crease in volume of expenditures, it is imperative that proper time be spent in planning and establishing proper goals. A large amount of planning and coordination of spending must be done in relation to the Sewer District Construction Projects. This area alone will take a considerable portion of time and effort. Timing of bond and note sales must be accurate so funds will be on hand when needed to meet construction costs. As areas are brought on-line, the billing function must be planned for properly in a joint effort with MIS and Engineering. The new accounting software package is very sophisticated and re- quires a high level of accounting knowledge to properly utilize all the features. This position will be responsible for having this expertise so the Finance Director is free to be in other planning sessions or meeting with other management personnel. JUSTIFICATION FOR ASSISTANT COUNTY FINANCE DIRECTOR Page 2 Evaluation of the month to month revenues and expenditures in order to accurately plan cash flows or fund balances can be done on a more regular basis with the addition of this position. It is anticipated that 25-75% of this position's time will be dedicated to the Water and Sewer District during the next four to five years, while construction is being undertaken. AJA/ct
