WWTP Collection System Foreman Position The Commission received a memo from Safety Director Donald Glauner regarding the Collections System Foreman position at the Waste Water Treatment Plant. The Safety Director is requesting that the Collections System Foreman's position be non-competitive due to the fact that this position is required to be Iicensed by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The current Collections System Foreman, Joe Auner, indicated that Bob Binggeli, the Assistant Superintendent Collections, is retiring. The Collections System Foreman position is certified by the Ohio EPA and that the testing from the Ohio EPA is extensive and the "pass" ratio is about 50%. This position deals with residents on a daily basis and the Waste Water Treatment Plant needs a person who understands the system and the resident's needs. The Assistant Superintendent of Plant, CarrieAnne Rosemark, stated that their EPA permit indicates that the Superintendent be licensed at the level that the Waste Water Treatment is licensed, which currently is a 3 but their temporary permit and upcoming permit will probably increase that to a 4. They always have to have a license employee at the plant at all times. The appointing authority is asking the Commission to make this an "Exceptional" appointment and non-competitive. There are currently eight (8) employees that have their Class I license.
