analysis is the nature of the position and the level of specialized skill involved to do the job. Work ethic, basic education, and the ability to perform manual labor without any specialized training or skill constitutes the unskilled labor category. The Commission had discussions a few years ago regarding semi skilled; consequently this did not pass the threshold of skilled. A general discussion commenced regarding positions that has an operator's license has the ability to operate certain kinds of equipment; consistency among the municipal workforce; Laborers C and D requires commercial driver's licenses and was determined as unclassified. Bucket machines, riders, inspection of equipment, etc. would indicate that these positions would be more than unskilled laborer because they would have an operator's license and have the ability to operate the machines that are required for that job. The most difficult decisions are those that straddle the line and it can be revisited at a later date. A basic example would be the vast majority of people could not just go into McDonalds and operate the fry machine first try. It is something that needs to be trained on and the employee that will carry it out is not hired because he has any kind of specialized experience. A general discussion followed regarding the five (5) or less employees in the Equipment Operator positions; the plant is so old it's very labored intense so that a lot of what you see is turning knobs and switches. Mr. Ubaldi made a motion that Equipment Operator II and Equipment Operator III be determined as unclassified. Mr. Hohmann seconded the motion. Roll call on the motion: B. Hohmann; yes, K. Zolar; no, M. Ubaldi; yes. Motion carried. VI.
