<br />Environmental Engineer, and other Administration personnel, regazding the continuing
<br />need to clean, maintain, and keep in good repair, the City's storm water sewer system,
<br />including storm sewer ditches and outlets, in order to continue to prevent, or minimize,
<br />inflow and infiltration of storm water into the sanitary sewer collection facilities of the
<br />System, particularly during moderate to heavy precipitation events; and
<br />N'HEREAS, this Council, as a result of such report, adopted Ordinance No. 2002-
<br />43, on April 16, 2002, specifically finding tha.t the transfer of three bargaining-unit
<br />laborer positions, whose duties were to clean, maintain, and keep in goad repair, the
<br />City's storm water sewer system, from the Service Department to the Waste Water
<br />Treatment Plant would directly further the express purposes for which the Sewer
<br />Revenue Fund was established; and
<br />WHEREAS, this Council further found, prior to the adoption of said Ordinance
<br />No. 2002-43, that, in order to continue ta provide for the cleaning, maintaining, and
<br />keeping in good repair, of the City's storm water sewer system, in a fiscally responsible
<br />manner, it was necessary that said three bargaining-unit laborer positions from the
<br />Department of Public Service, whose job duties were to clean, maintain, and keep in
<br />good repair, the City's storm water sewer system, be transferred to the Waste Water
<br />Treatment Section of the Division af Public Works, and that the wages and benefits of the
<br />employees holding these three positions be paid, upon transfer, from the Sewer Revenue
<br />Fund; and
<br />WHEREA.S, the Director of Public Service has advised the Council that the
<br />transfer of the three bargaining unit employees to the Waste Water Treatment Plant,
<br />pursuant to Ordinance No. 2002-43, has conferred a direct benefit upon the City's
<br />Sanitary Sewer System, but that said benefit would be greatly increased by transferring
<br />one additional bargaining unit employee to the Waste Water Treatment Plant, which
<br />would enable the City to have two 2-person crews to perform needed ditch cleaning work
<br />in a safe manner; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Administration and this Council expressly find that a11 of the
<br />findings previously made prior to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2002-43, regarding the
<br />benefits to the Sanitary Sewer System in transferring three bargaining unit employees to
<br />the Waste Water Treatment Plant, continue to be valid and support the transfer of one
<br />additional employee as recommended by the Director of Public Service;
<br />NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUIVCIL OF THE CITY
<br />OF NORTH OLMSTED, CrIYAHOGA COUNTY, AND STATE OF OHIO:
<br />SECTION 1: That this Council, in addition to the three position transfers
<br />previously approved in Ordinance No. 2002-43, hereby approves and authorizes the
<br />transfer of one additional bargaining-unit lahorer position, with duties of cleaning,
<br />maintaining, and keeping in good repaar, the City's storm water sewer system, from the
<br />Service Department to the Waste Water Treatment Section of the Division of Public
<br />Works.
