RESOLUTION AUTHORIZE ADDITION OF ONE FULLTIME DPW LABORER TO SUPPORT DAILY WATER & SEWER OPERATIONS

Resolution #4-2025 — 2025-03-27

WHEREAS

the Village has determined that the current Water/Sewer Operations contract is not satisfactory
after discussion and review it has been determined that the best option for the Village will be to have an internal employee provide the day-to-day operations for the Water & Sewer systems with contracted oversight
it has been determined that the cost of an additional FT DPW Laborer will be approximately $56,000 ($20/hr plus benefits) – or an additional $36,000/yr vs a PT Laborer
the Board has reviewed the budget, and this cost will be split between the Water & Sewer Fund and replace Acct EW8310.41 & ES1710.4 Admin – Contractual which each have a current budget of $25,000 for a total of $50,000
our current Part Time laborer, Jerome Smith III, has shown the interest and capacity to do this work

the Mayor is authorized to hire an additional Full Time Laborer under the UPSEU contract agreement
the Village will hire current PT laborer, Jerome Smith III, to fill this position, effective immediately
