General Managers Report
GM Allingham provided a brief update on the District's staffing. The District lost one water operator who only gave a two-day notice and moved out of state. Rather than replace the Operator I position, GM Allingham is proposing a position that has been vacant since he was promoted to General Manager. This position is Lead Operator. The Lead Operator will have more experience and take on more responsibility. GM Allingham made the Board aware that this position may be difficult to fill and will be posted at an annual salary of $70,000-$75,000 depending on experience. The District may also offer relocation assistance if the right candidate is found outside our area.
