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
RESOLVED
- 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
