Succession Planning for Additional Water Production/Water Reclamation Operator Positions Introduction: City Commission consideration of two additional Water Production/Water Reclamation Operator (dual certification) positions to assist in the Utility Division's succession planning is requested. Background: The City of Casselberry currently budgets for five Water Production Operator positions, four Water Reclamation Operator positions, and two Water Production/Water Reclamation Operator (dual certification) positions that can be shared between the two divisions. Historically, the City has had a difficult time in filling these operator positions as there are not many qualified applicants who maintain the required licenses to operate these plants. Three of the five current Water Production Operators will be eligible for retirement within three to five years. One operator is currently scheduled to retire in 2015 and another operator is scheduled to retire in 2017, both as part of the Florida Retirement System Drop Program. A Third operator has not yet indicated that he will be retiring, but he will be eligible within the next five years. Three of the four current Water Reclamation Operators are currently eligible for retirement. One operator is retiring on March 29, 2012 and a second operator is requesting part-time status. A third operator has recently required medical leave and it is unknown at this time if he will return to work. These recent hardships in staffing leave at least two open Water Reclamation operator positions. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the current City Budget. Funds associated with two additional positions at Pay Grade 22 ($31,238 Annual Minimum - $52,063 Annual Maximum) for Water Production/Water Reclamation Operators are available in Public Works Accounts 4401.0754.533.12.01 and
