Discussion and possible action to approve a title change to Slot #2121 from Heavy Equipment Operator (Grade 13) at $16.52 to Operator I, II, III (Grade 12, 14, 16) at $15.15, $16.73, $18.46. If approved by Commissioners Court, modification will be taken to Civil Service for certification.
Issue: Employee in this slot has always been employed as a Heavy Equipment Operator; however, in 2014 he assisted us in getting his D license in operating the Water Plant. He has since obtained his Class "C" license and we would like to reclassify his position to the Operator I, II, III position established for certified operator.
Solution: This is initial approval required prior to presenting to the Civil Service Commission.
Result: Approval of item for continuance to Civil Service Commission.
Background:
Employee is this slot accepted the request to take the courses and test to get State license as an Heavy Equipment Operator. He is among our most experienced operators now, and obtained a Class C Operation License. We would like to modify his position from Heavy Equipment Operator, although he still maintains his CDL license, to Operator II since he does have his Class C license.
