Dave Brown, Water /Irrigation Division Manager -
RE: Reorganization of the Water Treatment Plant Operators
Classification and Allocation Recommendation
On December 9, 2008 the City Council authorized a reorganization of the
operator staff at the Water Treatment Plant. The purpose of the
reorganization is to improve recruitment, increase the knowledge base of
the operators and to improve employee retention. This reorganization
0 establishes a new position, Water Treatment Plant Operator -In- Training,
and splits the current Water Treatment Plant Chief Operator position into
two new positions -Water Treatment Plant Operator II and Water
Treatment Plant Operator III. The establishment of a new classification for
Water Treatment Plant Operator II requires some changes to the current
classification for Water Treatment Plant Operator Grade I and II.
NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR -IN- TRAINING
Over the last ten years or more it has been increasingly difficult to recruit
new operators for the Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The state law
requires that an operator at the City's WTP have a level II WTP Operator
certificate and this certificate has specific education and experience
requirements. Finding operators with the required education and
experience has been difficult. Council authorized the establishment of an
in training operator position so there would be an opportunity to recruit
from a larger pool of applicants. We would train the employee to become a
high level operator, provide education and experience opportunities. This
should provide replacement operators.
Attached is the proposed Water Treatment Plant Operator -In- Training
Class Specification. This specification is similar to the current Water
Treatment Plant Operator I position's duties and minimum class
110 requirements. However the new classification does not provide automatic
advancement to high level positions. Should a vacancy occur, normal
Yakima
?o- Ammkecm
1994
410
position competition for the higher level position will be required.
Recommended allocation is to pay range 14.5 ($17.63 - $21.06 per hour)
same as the current Water Treatment Plant Operator I.
NEW WATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR 11 AND 111
In an effort to reduce some confusion when recruiting replacement
operators as well as to provide an incentive to operators to increase their
knowledge base and to improve retention Council authorized the
establishment of two new positions that replace the current Water
Treatment Plant Chief Operator Classification.
The classification title of WTP "Chief Operator" has caused some
confusion with potential applicants when recruiting. Most Water Plants
around the country call the supervisor of the treatment facility the Chief
Operator. This causes some confusion when an operator is not looking for
a supervisor position or when a supervisor in not looking for an operator
position. In both cases we have lost some potential applicants.
By splitting the current Water Treatment Plant Chief Operator 411
classification into two new classifications Water Treatment Plant Operator
11 and III we will be providing an incentive to operators to get more
education and increase their knowledge about water treatment. This also
improves employee retention, while other communities are actively
recruiting operators. We accomplish this by non competitive promotion
from Water Treatment Plant Operator II to a Water Treatment Plant
Operator 111 when the employee has passed a practical examination
determining proficiency of operations of the Water Treatment Plant, wells
and pump stations; and possess a valid Washington State Water
Treatment Plant Operator III Certification.
Attached is the proposed Water Treatment Plant Operator 11 Class
specification. This class specification is similar to the current Water
Treatment Plant Chief Operator position. However, the new classification
provides for a non competitive promotion to the Water Treatment Plant
Operator III position when certain requirements have been met.
Recommended allocation is to pay range 20.0 ($22.55 $27.11 per hour).
Attached is the proposed Water Treatment Plant Operator 111 Class
specification. This class specification is similar to the current Water
Treatment Plant Chief Operator position. However, the new classification
requires additional education, experience and a Certification as a
410
Washington State Water Treatment:. Plant Operator II L. Recommended
allocation is to pay range 20.5 ($23.15 - $27.77 per hour).
Water Treatment Plant Chief Operators Richard Martin, Shane Counts
and Daniel Countryman have been working as Chief Operators for more
than six (6) months and have a Washington State Water Treatment Plant
Operator 111 Certificate. These Operators should be placed in the new
Water Treatment Plant Operator III Classification without competition.
Water Treatment Plant Chief Operator Garry Johnson has been working
as a Chief Operators for more than six (6) months and has a Washington
State Water Treatment Plant Operator II Certificate. Johnson should be
placed in the new Water Treatment Plant Operator II Classification without
competition.
CHANGES TO CURRENT WATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR
GRADE I AND II (Class Code 8331 and 8332)
There are two (2) employees, Chad Stoddard and Kent Owen, in the
current Water Treatment Plant Operator 11 classification. When recruiting
for some replacement operators we had to under -fill two of the Water
4110 Treatment Plant Chief Operator positions with operators at the Water
Treatment Plant Operator II level. With the creation of the new Water
Treatment Plant Operator II classification as discussed above, these
employees do not meet the minimum requirements. We are proposing to
"Y" rate these two employees until such time as they are eligible to
advance to the new classification of Water Treatment Plant Operator II.
REQUIRED ACTIONS:
• Adopt new classification for Water Treatment Plant Operator -In-
Training, class code #8331, allocated to Pay Range 14.5 ($17.63 -
$21.06 per hour).
• Adopt new classification for Water Treatment Plant Operator II,
class code #8332, allocated to Pay Range 20.0 ($22.55 - $27.11
per hour)
• Adopt new Classification for Water Treatment Plant Operator III,
class code 8333, allocated to Pay Range 20.5 ($23.15 $27.77 per
hour)
• Richard Martin, Shane Counts and Daniel Countryman should be
placed in the new Water Treatment Plant Operator III Classification
without competition
• Garry Johnson should be placed in the new Water Treatment Plant
Operator 11 Classification without competition
