TO: MICHAEL R COUZZO, VILLAGE MANAGER
FROM: RUSSELL K. WHITE, PUBLIC SERVICES MANAGER
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT / PUBLIC SERVICES
DEPARTMENTS
DATE: MARCH 29, 2012
This item is pertaining to the restructuring of the Public Works Department and Public
Services Department. With the retirement of Mr. McGee in Public Works, we are going
to replace him with a maintenance worker. With this position being paid at a much lower
salary, now is the time to also add a part time laborer. The total cost shouid be close to
what we had been paying Mr. McGee.
In the Public Services Depart�nent I feel that now would be a good time to bring on a part
time secretasy/assistant to help me with my daily duties. In the past this department has
always had a secretary to assist with phone calls, filing, bills etc. It has been about 10
years since we had someone in this position and it would be an ixnmense help to me. With
my workload, I tend to fa11 behind in those areas since I am in and out of the office so
much.
By adding the additional part time employee in Public Works, which I was seeking for
next year's budget we should be able to exceed the level of service we currently provide
and get two workers trained for the future, with basically minimal to no increase to the
budget. T'he Public Services Deparirnent would be more efficient with this part time
employee by addressing resident's calls and getting faster response to a11 of the inquiries
we receive.
Please place this on the 5/1/2012 Special council Meeting.
