BOARD AGENDA ITEM
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: John Thiei, Engineering Department Manager
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2015
ITEM- PROJECT NAME: Engineering Department Staffing
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Authorize staff to continue the utilization of temporary
engineering personnel as follows: 1) Hire one full-time, limited-term Junior Engineer;
and 2) Hire one fuil-time, limited-term Meter Instailation Coordinator.
DISCUSSION:
The Engineering Department is currently experiencing a high volume of Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) projects in the design and construction stage and is
forecasting continued high volume next year and for the next four years. Notable
projects include the Diamond Valley Ranch (DVR) Irrigation Improvements, Luther Pass
Pump Station (LPPS) Power and Controls, Water Meter Installations, Primary Clarifier and
Aeration Basin Upgrades, Emergency Generator Replacement and other Wastewater
Treatment Plant projects, Keller/Heavenly Zone Improvements, Fire Hydrant Service
Expansion, and other tank, booster station, waterline replacement and water system
improvement projects- more than $66 million in CIP projects now in progress and
planned over the next fo�r construction seasons.
Implementation of the planned CIP projects along with the other ongoing Engineering
project and planning workload requires elevated levels of staffing. The DVR and LPPS
projects are unique in that construction activities are in progress and will continue
throughout the winter season and well into 2016. Therefore, our two permanent, full-
time Engineering Techs will remain in the field and unavailable for new project design
support, as typically occurs in the winter. The Meter Projects are unique in that they
require an extensive amount of construction inspection, observation, and coordination
as it consists of over 7,500 individual construction locations with extensive customer
contact requiring personal service from the District. The Fire Hydrant Service Expansion
projects require similar attention as the Meters Project, but on a smaller scale.
-5-
The Board has previously approved three temporary positions in the Engineering
Department consisting of the Meter Installation Coordinator, and two Engineering
Interns. Staff appreciates the Board's support and has found these three support
positions to be valuable and extremely cost effective for the District. We have been
able to fill these temporary positions with talented people that provide effective
supporf in many areas including construction oversight and coordination, public
outreach and customer service, water and sewer system modeling, data collection
and general assistance in contract management and other engineering functions.
Our ability to appropriately train and utilize these resources has certainly resulted in
many benefits to the District:
• reduced construction change order claims;
• increased customer service and satisfaction and, reduced claims;
• reduced impacts on other District crews and staff;
• increased productivity from senior engineering staff as they are able to focus on
planning, design, and other high-value work; and,
• significantly reduced needs for costly consultant and third-party inspection
services at �125/hour to $165/hour
Staff is requesting continued Board approval for these temporary positions to meet
continued staffing needs along with a modified procurement method as detailed
below.
The three temporary employees are currently procured through Blue Ribbon Personnel
Senrices (Blue Ribbon) and are limited to 1,000 hours per fiscal year under the District's
pension program requirements, and are recruited at pay levels established by the
District for temporary hires across multiple departments. As a consequence of the
hourly limitations, the Engineering Department either goes without this valuable support
for a portion of the year, or must refill these positions every 6 to 12 months with new
temporary personnel. This approach requires significant effort from senior staff to
support ongoing recruitment, starfup training, as well as other costs and inefficiencies.
Most importantly, by holding to the 1,000 hour limit for these positions, and paying a less
than competitive wage for a full-time position, the District loses the talented staff that
we have trained, that have gained unique system and agency knowledge, and that
have proven themselves to be highly effective support resources.
Therefore, in order to keep good workers and limit the recurring fulfillment process, we
are proposing to converf two of the temporary positions that are currently filled by Blue
Ribbon to four-year, full-time, limited-term positions (Junior Engineer and Meter
Coordinator) hired directly by the District with the third position (Engineering Intern)
remaining a temporary hire through Blue Ribbon. The four-year term is proposed to
coincide with the completion of the meter installation projects and when the CIP is
expected to return to more normal spending levels. The two proposed limited-term
positions will be District Union employees during the four-year term with all standard
conditions, benefits, and pay schedules as per the existing Union Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU). Staff will advertise and incorporate all other standard District
procedures for the fulfillment of these positions. We propose that fulfillment of the third
position, Engineering Intern, remain with Blue Ribbon with temporary employee status,
the current rate structure and the 1,000 hour limitation per person.
-6-
As detailed on the attachment, the additional cost for two limited-term positions will be
approximately$40,000/year ($29,000/year plus $11,000/year based on the midpoint of
the pay ranges). Again, as previously discussed, staff contends these additional costs
are well justified given the benefits of retaining effective workers and avoiding
consultant and 3�d parfy inspection costs. This additional cost represents less than 1/4 %
of the CIP spending over the four year period ($40,000 x 4 years / $66 million) while the
total cost of these two positions represent about 1% of the CIP spending over the four
year period ($173,000 x 4 years / $66 million).
Staff recommends the Board approve the District hiring of two full-time positions (Junior
Engineer and Meter Installation Coordinator) on a four-year limited-term basis to begin
upon the actual employee starf date - approximately 3/Ol/16 to 3/O1/20. Staff will
continue to bring the Blue Ribbon contracts to the Board for fulfillment of the
Engineering Intern position as needs are identified moving forward.
SCHEDULE: Upon Board Approval.
COSTS: Approximately$96,000 for the Junior Engineer and $78,000 for the Meter
Coordinator, per year, for the four-year term.
ACCOUNT NO: Use specific CIP project accounts as applicable

Attachment-Cost Details for Temporary Positions
Junior Engineer Position -This proposed f�ll-time, limited-term position will be a District
Union employee with a four-year term. The compensation would follow the existing
structure for the Junior Engineer position (the starting engineering position at the District
appropriate for new graduates) along with all normal District benefits and in
compliance with the existing Union MOU. As a limited-term employee, there would be
no progression beyond Junior Engineer, unless the employee is the candidate selected
to fill a vacancy within the Department.
The fully burdened cost of a full-time limited term position is estimated here based on
the midpoint of the relevant District-Union MOU pay range. The estimated cost for the
Junior Engineer is $95,827/year and $46.07/ho�r (Jr. Engineer, $34.38/hr., 2080
hours/year). For reference, the cost of a Blue Ribbon intern is $31.98/hour res�lting in an
annual difference of$29,000.
In addition, this limited-term position provides a fair wage scale for an engineering
graduate. Through Blue Ribbon, an engineering graduate earns $19/hour with no
benefits with a limited term. It's difficult or impossible to build and retain a high
performance employee on this basis. Furthermore, we expect the limited-term
employee could stay for perhaps the entire four-year term, providing increased
competency and productivity over that period, and perhaps progress into a
permanent engineering position at the District should that become available. The
increased rate is a great value to the District since the Junior Engineer directly or
indirectly limits the amount of consultant and third-party inspection time, at $125/hour
or more, which would become necessary to advance the many District projects.
Meter Coordinator Position -This proposed full-time limited-term position will be a District
Union employee with a four-year term which directly coincides with the projected
completion of all phases of the Water Meter Installation Projects. The compensation
would follow the existing pay structure for the Customer Service Inspector (Level 1)
position (at a step relevant to the candidate selected) along with all normal District
benefits and in compliance with the existing Union MOU.
The fully burdened cost of a full-time limited term position is estimated here based on
the midpoint of the relevant District-Union MOU pay range. The estimated cost for the
Meter Coordinator is $77,554/year and $37.29/hour (Inspector 1, $26.69/hour, 2080
hours/year). For reference, the cost of a Blue Ribbon intern is $31.98/hour resulting in an
annual difference of$11,000.
In addition, this limited-term position provides a fair wage scale for a customer service
employee who typically has a college degree and/or advanced training and
experience. Through Blue Ribbon, the temporary employee earns $19/hour without
benefits with a limited term. We will be unable to build and retain a high performance
employee on this basis. Furthermore, we expect the limited-term employee could stay
for perhaps the entire four-year term, providing increased competency and
productivity over that period, and perhaps progress into a permanent position at the
District should one become available. Again, the increased rate is a great value to the
-9-
District since the Meter Coordinator directly or indirectly limits the amount of consultant
and third-party inspection time, at $125/hour or more, which would become necessary
to advance the many District projects.
Enqneerinq Intern Position -Staff proposes to extend our existing contract with Blue
Ribbon on an as-needed basis for the continued provision of one Engineering Intern
position for up to 2,000 hours per year total (1,000 hours per person per fiscal year). The
current cost to the District for an experienced intern is $31.98 per hour. Blue Ribbon
contracts will be brought to the Board separately for approval as needed during the
four-year period.

BOARD AGENDA ITEM
TO: Board of Directors
FROM: Tim Bledsoe, Manager of Customer Service
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2015
ITEM - PROJECT NAME: Ordinance No. 564-15 Specifying Acceptable Forms of
Payment
REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Adopt Ordinance No. 564-15, adding Section 6.2.6 to the
Administrative Code regarding acceptable forms of payment for District services.
DISCUSSION: Currently, the District accepts cash, check and credit cards as forms of
payment for District services. In the past, District staff has periodically encountered
customers paying for District services in large quantities of coins. Counting large
quantities of coins to verify the amount paid takes a significant amount of staff time.
Staff is recommending the Board adopt Ordinance No. 564-15, adding Section 6.2.6 to
the Administrative Code regarding acceptable forms of payment for District Services.
Administrative Code Section 6.2.6 will preclude customers paying for District services in
large quantities of coins, which results in an inefficient use of staff time that is
inconsistent and unfair to the District's other customers.
