Okay so the qualifications for a Solid Waste Foreman and Operations Manager is the same
qualifications coming from Solid Waste over to Public Works?
Director Fauteux
No, no absolutely not. This gentleman — his name is Andy Petrician — had the qualifications to
become Operations Manager and he was promoted as such. This doesn’t mean that any Solid
Waste Foreman would be promoted to Operations Manager. This particular individual had the
leadership skills and the background and experience to be an Operations Manager in Public Works.
Paula Johnson
So why did you change the job title from “Operations Manager’ to “Assistant Director of Public
Works’?
Director Fauteux
Because there was a tremendous amount of confusion by residents wondering what his actual role
was. So we changed the title to better define that role. That’s the only reason we did that.
Paula Johnson
So we did a title change just so the residents wouldn’t be confused.
Director Fauteux
Just to represent what the position does.
Paula Johnson
And he didn’t get a raise at all this year? He didn’t get a salary increase?
Director Fauteux
For FY18?
Paula Johnson
Yes.
Director Fauteux
Like all other positions, yes.
Paula Johnson
| didn’t cross reference it on the pages because it didn’t tell me where to go. There wasn’t a little
footer that said this is Assistant Director of Public Works .80, please see page to get the rest of it.
Mayor Donchess
