(Requested by Commissioners Grantham and Brigham) Background: Analysis: Financial Impact: Alternatives: Recommendation: Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Clerk of Commission Cover Memo Item # 2  Administrative Services Committee Meeting 2/13/2008 12:50 PM Fort Gordon Job Descriptions Department: Utilities Caption: Approve the titles and pay-grades of the ten positions approved by the Commission, on November 20, 2007, which were added to the AUD organizational structure for the purpose of operating and maintaining the Fort Gordon water and sewer system. Background: On November 20th, 2007, the Augusta Commission approved a request by AUD to create a new Assistant Director position to oversee the operations of the Fort Gordon Water and Sewer System. The Commission also approved the concept of 11 additional positions for FortGordon with the understanding that AUD would return with another agenda item to include the job descriptions of the 11 positions. It was the desire of AUD to hire the new Assistant Director who would then be available to provide input in the creation of the positions. AUD has now completed the interviewing and hiring process for the assistant director. With the addition of the new assistant director, AUD made adjustment to FortGordon organizational chart and is requesting approval of the titles and pay-grades for the following 10 positions: Superintendent – 1 (54), Operations Manager – 2 (52), Facilities Manager – 1 (52), Assistant Manager – 2 (47), Crew Supervisor – 1 (43), Crew Leader – 2 (40), Admin. Secretary – 1 (39) The original staffing positions placed in the Fort Gordon Contract proposal were based on the anticipated personnel needed to perform the required work. This configuration has changed somewhat in order to more accurately reflect the operational requirements. The personnel cost was one of the components in establishing the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) budget in which AUD is to receive a monthly payment from the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC) for compensation of expenses. This new structure is still in keeping with the personnel cost Cover Memo Item # 3  originally established in the O&M budget. Analysis: The contract between the City of Augusta and DESC allows for the city to be compensated for the cost associated with staffing for the Fort Gordon operations. This item seeks to obtain approval of the mentioned job titles and pay-grades for the new positions that were approved by the Commission on November 20, 2007, and allow for the time needed to begin hiring and putting in place the employee group that will maintain the Fort Gordon water and sewer system. Financial Impact: The anticipated annual budget, including benefits, for all eleven positions (including the Asst. Dir.) is $747,286.00. AUD will be compensated for this expense per the contract between the city and DESC. Alternatives: None recommended. Recommendation: It is recommended to: Approve the titles and pay-grades of the ten positions approved by the Commission, on November 20, 2007, which were added to the AUD organizational structure for the purpose of operating and maintaining the Fort Gordon water and sewer system.
