RESOLUTIONS APPROVING ORDINANCES:
Item No. 1 Authorizing a salary increase for the Secretary to the Board of Water Supply (from
$48,958.00 to $55,000.00, an increase of $6,042.00 – 2022 Budget - Account Code: 001-
521-521999).
On the Question:
Response:

Patterson-Howard
Nays: None
Item No. 2 Reclassification for the title of “Laborer” to “Skilled Laborer” within the City’s DPW
Traffic Bureau (Expenditure Code: A5110.101 – Salaries & Wages).
On the Question: Chairwoman Patterson-Howard noted the individuals doing this work in
the MVPD, it was under “laborer” and moved over to DPW; they are receiving differential
for that work, and they are incorrectly classified. The difference between “laborer” and
“skilled laborer” is that the latter utilizes heavy machinery, engages in electrical work. This
will correct the standard salary with the differential and bring it into line with the 456
Teamsters.
Board of Estimate & Contract Meeting Minutes – 5/31/2022 Page 2
Comptroller Morton queried the ability to cover the funds, and Chairwoman Patterson-
Howard noted there is a vacant “skilled laborer” position and the savings in that position
