SUMMARY: The Water Demand Division is requesting authorization to hire a part-time limited-term employee with specialized skills and knowledge to process amendments to California American Water’s Bishop and Ryan Ranch Water Distribution Systems (“WDS”). On-going demands on staff time to complete the Accela database make it necessary to bring in assistance.
The employee will process amendments to the Ryan Ranch WDS to amend its Source of Supply and to amend the Bishop WDS to include a Connection to the Ryan Ranch WDS. In addition to preparing documents and findings, the employee will coordinate with technical staff while processing the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) analysis. Finally, the employee will prepare the staff report and present the amendments to the Board for consideration and prepare the final documents for the applicant. It is anticipated that this project will not exceed 60 hours.
The employment contract for the position would be for up to 60 hours at $54.00 per hour. The limited-term employee would not receive any benefits, other than those mandated by state and federal law. Permit processing assistance was included in the Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget and is reimbursable.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the expenditure of $4,000 to hire a
limited-term Project Manager for up to 60 hours of work to complete two WDS
amendments.
IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES: The cost to the District for the limited-term contract described above would not exceed $4,000 which includes mandatory taxes.
