RECOMMENDATION:
Approve of the 2022 represented Wage Range Schedule as presented.
BACKGROUND:
During the Board review and approval process for the FY2022-23 Budget, 3 proposed
new IBEW 1245 represented positions were included for consideration and approval.
Each of these additional positions were proposed and included in the budget to address
expanding operational needs due to increasing maintenance and regulatory compliance
requirements. At the time of approval, staff informed the Board that once the new
positions were fully developed, there would be an opportunity to review the role and salary
classifications of each of the positions.
The FY2022 represented Wage Range Schedule that was approved by the Board during
the January 5, 2022 meeting did not include the 3 new positions. The proposed FY2022
represented salary schedule has been updated to include the new positions approved in
the FY 22/23 budget. The represented salary schedule is provided as Attachment 1.
The new positions approved in the FY2022-23 Budget and added to the FY2022
represented salary schedule include:
1.Facilities Maintenance Foreman – This position reports directly to the General
Services Manager and will perform a wide variety of semi-skilled and/or skilled

motor predictive maintenance programs, as well as SCADA system maintenance
and repairs.
