RESOLUTION APPROVING TEMPORARY INCREASES OF ONE WATER PLANT
OPERATE FTE AND ONE WPC PLANT OPERATOR FTE
FOR THE CITY OF AMES,IOWA
WHEREAS,both the Water Treatment Plant(WTP)and the Water Pollution Control(WPC)
Plant are operated 24 hours a day, and each facility has six operators,with one operator on shift at
any given time; and,
WHEREAS, within the past three weeks, two operators (one at each plant) have declared
their intent to retire; and,
WHEREAS,because ofprevious vacancies,both job classifications have an established civil
service list, and the vacancies created by these two announced retirements will be filled from those
lists; and,

ahead of the departure of the retiring operators, and this would allow time for training the new

operators will need to cover; and,

minimal.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames, Iowa,
