5. Revised Salary Ordinance. The proposed amended salary ordinance prepared
by the City Attorney contains a salary of $9.50 per hour for a Wastewater
Treatment Plant lab technician/operator. The union contract had a lab
technician at 9.32 and an operator at 9.50. The present employee is working
as a lab technician/operator and receiving the 9.50 rate.
The committee decided to leave the salary ordinance as is and try to settle
it at negotiation time.
6. Surveyor's Seasonal Worker. Mayor Kennedy reported the AFSCME union
feels the surveyor's seasonal worker is doing surveyor's aide work and should
be paid more than the seasonal laborer's rate.
The committee feels the employee is being paid in accordance with the pay
scale and policy of the contract in regards to seasonal employees.
7. Water Department Compliment
• Councilman Saverud reported Marion Counsell of 1501 8th Ave East wanted to
compliment the Water Department on the manner in which they had repaired his
water line. He said it was the nicest work he had seen in years. When they
were done you couldn't tell they had been there they had cleaned up so well.
