there has been an increase in estimated construction costs
for enlarement of the Library. The present estimation

addressed Council, stressing the increase of costs to date

program. It was expressed by Councilman Calvert that the

penses.

A recommendation was received from the City Administrator
that Council request the Personnel Board to create the
position of "Welder II"; also, to request the City
Attorney to prepare the necessary Resolution to amend
the Light and Water Department complement to provide for
one Welder II, and to eliminate the position of one
Welder's Helper; and if the Personnel Board acts favor-
ably, to promote Stephen Rodgers to the new position at
the Council meeting on 1/19/70.
The memo from the City Administrator stated that when
the position of Water Foreman was created, and in com-
pliance with the wishes of Council, there was no addition
to the complement of the Water Department, as Mr. Frank
Pollock, Welder, was promoted to the new classification.
This would be a working foreman type of classification,
and the qualified person would be expected to perform
the duties of his previous position, in addition to his
foreman's responsibilities, in so far as needs required
and time was available. Due to the extensive storm
drain construction that has been taking place, the demands
on the Water Department has necessitated the Welder's
Helper to carry an ever increasing work load.
The memo further stated that the former Welder having com-
pleted his probationary period and acquired permanent
status as Water Foreman, it is proper that a reclass-
ification take place in the position held by Mr. Stephen
Rodgers, Welder's Helper, reflecting the increased
duties and responsibilities that he has now qualified
himself to assume.
