RESOLUTION APPROVING PARALLEL POSITION
FOR FTE POWER PLANT OPERATOR
FOR THE CITY OF AMES
WHEREAS,the continuous operations of the Power Plant require full staffing with a Power
Plant Operator on each shift; and,
WHEREAS, following an extended illness, one Operator is expected to take disability
retirement upon exhaustion of his accrued medical leave this fall; and,
WHEREAS, the resulting vacancy will be filled through a Civil Service promotion,which
will eventually create an open recruitment to bring the Power Plant back to full staffing; and,
WHEREAS, because the incumbent Operator is on paid leave, there is no actual vacancy
despite the staff shortage caused by his absence; and,
WHEREAS, in order to expedite full staffing and the need to train personnel, it would be
appropriate to authorize an additional,parallel,Power Plant Operator position pending the disability
retirement, with the understanding that at the time the current incumbent Operator retires, his
position will be abolished; and,
WHEREAS, staff believes that this action is necessary in order to expedite the Civil Service
process and achieve full staffing with trained personnel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
