NEW BUSINESS
Update of Job Description: City Chamberlain
The Commission reviewed proposed updates to the City Chamberlain job description. The
updates reflect the current reporting structure and current departmental activities; they do
not change the overall scope or nature of the position. Commissioner Thompson made a
motion to update the City Chamberlain job description as proposed. Seconded by
Commissioner Richardson. Motion carried 3-0.
Clarification of Special Requirement: Chief Water Treatment Plant Operator (Type IA
Plant)
The New York State Sanitary Code requires that the Chief Water Treatment Plant Operator
possess and maintain a Grade IA Water Treatment Plant Operator certificate. The job
description reflects this requirement, but notes it in the “Distinguishing Features of the Class”
section rather than specifying it as a special requirement for appointment. The current
preferred format for job descriptions would specify the certification as a requirement for
appointment in the “Special Requirement” section. Commissioner Richardson made a
motion to add the “Special Requirement” section indicated below to the Chief Water
Treatment Plant Operator (Type IA) job description. Seconded by Commissioner Abrams.
Motion carried 3-0.
“SPECIAL REQUIREMENT: Possession of a current Grade IA Water Treatment Plant
Operator certificate issued by the New York State Department of Health pursuant to
Part 5, Subpart 5-4.2 of the New York State Sanitary Code at the time of appointment
and maintenance of said certification for the duration of employment.”
