Director Fauteux

Well he hasn't started yet. He’s starting July 10. That’s not clear but | think it’s about .15 percent or
something of his salary is allocated to Wastewater or something like that.

Paula Johnson
And he’s going to be doing a Facebook page for that area too.
Director Fauteux

Yes for the entire Public Works Division, and our website, and doing a lot of educational outreach and
sort of thing.

Mayor Donchess

Correct.
Paula Johnson

Youre telling me it’s $54,000 a year right? Your budget book says $35,311 at .65 hours. Where’s
the rest of the hours?

Mayor Donchess

| think it’s in the Wastewater Treatment for one thing.
Paula Johnson

Okay let me ask you a question here. Wasn't there a whole big tado about splitting positions
between one division and the other?

| just think it would be worth an analysis to determine whether or not hiring a couple of officers would
bring down that kind of extraordinary overtime costs.

Chairman Dowd

Fred Teeboom

Okay why is it different now?

Bill Mansfield

Because my job on the police department was to manage the radio system. That’s what | was doing
and there was somebody else working at that point in time full time. Then | retired and | was hired as
a part time employee to manage the radio system.

Fred Teeboom

And the work you did before in the police department what happened to that?

Bill Mansfield

That has gone onto someone else.

Fred Teeboom

Fred Teeboom

No. So before you had .8 and a guy in the police department and now you have 1.8 guy and no guy
in the police department.

Bill Mansfield
No. It’s a full time employee who’s been there since 2000. Then | was managing the system on the
police department at that point in time. Now I’m managing it for the city now.

Fred Teeboom

Oh okay but there’s no one in the police department that took your original position. Does that
position no longer exists?

Bill Mansfield

Bill Mansfield

One person plus a part time person.

Fred Teeboom

And how much is the part time?

Bill Mansfield

32 hours a week.

Fred Teeboom

That’s you, correct, .8.

Bill Mansfield

That’s correct.

Fred Teeboom

So it’s 1.8 and it used to be one?

Bill Mansfield

No. There was always the 8 because my job with the police department was to manage that as well.
Fred Teeboom

So you had .8 before and now you’re at 1.8.

So the private sector is still higher than the city than what we pay for city employees.

Director Budreau

| can’t speak to the private sector. | can just tell you what we have.

Paula Johnson

| can speak to the private sector because | see the plan every year — my husband's health care plan
jumped up from $1,000 - $1,500; $2,000 now $6,000 — two people out of pocket. The cost of it is
going up and | know that we’re paying for it here. Thank you.
