PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT

NATURE OF ACTION Reclassification to EQUIPMENT MECHANIC
From To
Class & Step No. 18E 28A
Monthly Salary $688 $723
-There is presently in excess of 130 pieces of City -owned equipment
maintained by this shop, as well as a preventative maintenance
program. Much of this equipment is over 6 years old and requires
more than the usual maintenance to keep operational.
The present personnel situation of one mechanic is inadequate for
this shop to accomplish the aforementioned program properly. Mr.
Focht has been doing the work of a mechanic, such as changing a
double clutch in a diesel tractor - a very technical procedure, and
doing it very well. He requires a minimum of supervision and the
job is done completely and thoroughly.
He is presently working out of classification. Therefore, it is
highly recomgended that this request be approved.
H. Cook
Hired 7/1/65 as an EQUIPMENT MIF'HANIC HELPER, Mr. Focht in the fast

A classification change is past due. Mr. Focht is one of
our valued employees who does his job well and with no complaint
as to time -.�r hours he may be requested to work. Cost to City--
$390.00

REMARKS
This change is necessary to bring Mr. Buck's classification in
line with the duties and responsibilities which he is presently
assigned. In addition to the independent duties he now performs,
he will be assigned responsibilities for mainenance and operation
of the new water tanks and telemetry being added to the system
under the Water Systems Improvement Projact.
Mr. Buck has passed the grade IV examination and has received
his Water Operator's Certificate.
Mr. Buck operates under direction rather than supervision as
defined in the personnel regulations.
H. Cook
As Personnel Director I find the above information to be correct.
I have checked with the Water Superintendent and he also verifies
the above. This department supports the reclassification of
Mr. Buck. Cost to City $477.00.

From To

Class & Steo No. 21E 24E
Monthly Salary $741 $797
Mr. Greagrey currently is performing a function mid -way between
heavy equipment operator and equipment mechanic (Range 28). He
performs those functions listed in the class specification for
heavy equipment operator. In addition, he is the only active
qualified welder on the City staff, and performs this function with
skill. He is a folly qualified mechanic and maintains his division's
equipment when the shop is overloaded. He also provides backup
service to the shop. This reclassification is long overdue.
H. Cook
Mr. Greagrey hats been employed by the City since 10/55 and has been
an asset to us during that time. To my knowledge he has been per-
forming duties az outlined for some three (3) years and this
classification change should be made in recognition of his abilities
and to reward him for past service. In addition to those duties
outlined by the Public Works Director Mr. Greagrey also serves
as STREET SUPERINTENDENT in the absence of Mr. Brown. I sincerely
recommend that this reclassification be made. Cost to Citv--$616.00.
