City Council Water & Sewer Subcommittee <br />May 15, 2003 <br />Page 21 <br /> <br />maintenance and the midnight shift, when there is no one out there, this <br />maintenance person cleans up, sweeps the floors, mops, paints, and does all the <br />janitorial type things. Chairman Plata asked if on second shift there was a <br />pump problem, would a maintenance man be called in. Mr. Campbell said that, <br />yes, they would call a maintenance man in. Mr. Campbell went back to the list <br />of operators and asked the committee to look at the last three employees, <br />Kendall Esch, Jerry Rico, and Brandon Lewis. He said that those are all <br />relatively new operators, so they are still in training, and they do not just stick <br />them on the midnight shift. He said that the training is why they are on the <br />daytime shift. Mr. Campbell said they will be working around all of the shifts <br />because, later on, the midnight shift is probably the easiest shift. <br /> <br />Gene Anderson, Director of Finance, asked Mr. Campbell if the demands on <br />the system make a difference on how you schedule the employees. Mr. <br />Campbell stated that it really did not make a difference. He said it is the extra <br />curricular things that the employees have to do that has the effect on the <br />scheduling. He gave an example of cutoff day, when the ones that come on at <br />4:00 P. M. spend two hours just answering the telephone because the people <br />in the Finance Department have gone home at 5:00 P.M. after cutting off <br />unpaid accounts. <br /> <br />Chairman Plata said the wastewater treatment plant is about the same as the <br />water treatment plant. Mr. Campbell replied that most of the maintenance is <br />done in the daytime. Chairman Plata said that by checking the budget, that <br />department increased by two employees this year. Mr. Anderson advised that <br />it could be a typo and he would check. Mr. Anderson said that, to the best of <br />his knowledge, there had not been an increase in the number of employees in <br />the wastewater treatment plant. <br /> <br />Chairman Plata stated that after looking at the schedule, at the time he started <br />checking he was not out to cut anybody's j ob or anything, but then he started <br />checking people. <br /> <br />Chairman Plata said Mr. Campbell said his numbers were wrong and he called <br /> <br /> <br />
