Title
Approval to Convert One Overfill FTE to a Regular FTE Position for the Electric Distribution Superintendent Position, Job Code 634
Recommended Action
I move that the Board of Public Utilities recommend the conversion of one overfill FTE to a regular full-time Electric Distribution Superintendent position and forward to Council for approval.
Utilities Manager's Recommendation
The Utilities Manager recommends that the Board approve the motion as presented.
Body
A new position in the Electric Distribution Division of the Department of Public Utilities is proposed by converting one of the three overfill positions approved in the FY2026 budget into an Electric Distribution Superintendent. This position was a key recommendation of the Distribution System and Electrification Study and will oversee the day to day activities of the three line crews.
Back in 2008, DPU had an Electric Distribution Superintendent on its payroll but was eliminated after this person left this role. This job description was pulled from the archives, updated, and has been reviewed, and realigned in accordance with the FY2026 Salary Plan Job Class Order, effective September 2025. The position has been budgeted at the salary midpoint for the assigned job code.
Alternatives
If the Board decides not to approve, the Department of Public Utilities will not fill the position of Electric Distribution Superintendent.
