Reclassification of the Service Center Dispatcher Position effective July 1, 2006.
The reclassification is recommended based on changes in the Class Specification/Job Description. The position description was updated to better reflect the significant contact with customers regarding electric and water services and additional duties such as entering service orders for the Electric and Water Departments in the Customer Information Billing System (CIBS). The Compensation Committee recommends increasing the grade from a 23 to a 24 which will result in a payroll increase of approximately $1,206.
