Supervisor - Wastewater in the Utilities Department
Meeting Date:November 25, 2024
From:LeeAnn McPhillips, Administrative Services and Human
Resources Director / Risk Manager
RECOMMENDATION
1. Approve job description for Operations Services Supervisor – Wastewater
BACKGROUND
During the FY 24 & 25 budget process, the new Utilities Department was established by
City Council approval. The Council supported filling several key positions to lead and staff
the department. A few positions in the new department have already been filled (Utilities
Director, Management Analyst, Senior Civil Engineer, Engineer, and Office Assistant) and
a couple positions are currently out for recruitment (Utilities Business Manager and
Environmental Engineer). A recruitment for the Utilities Operations Manager will begin
shortly. The Utilities Director has been working with Human Resources to develop job
descriptions for the other positions that need to be filled. The position of Operations
Services Supervisor for Wastewater needed to have a job description and salary range
established before a recruitment could occur.
Attached is a draft job description for the position of Operations Services Supervisor for
Wastewater. This position will report to the Utilities Operations Manager and will
supervise the team of wastewater maintenance employees and will perform technical
work in support of the Wastewater Section. Once a supervisor is hired and a transition
plan finalized, a group of Maintenance Workers will transition from the Public Works
Department to the newly formed Wastewater Section. Employees in the current Water
Section of Public Works will also transition to the Utilities Department under the
supervision of an Operations Services Supervisor for the Water Section.
The city currently has three Operations Services Supervisor positions, one in each of the
following sections: Parks & Landscape; Water; and Streets/Wastewater Trees. With the
formation of the Utilities Department, a fourth supervisor position was added to be
Job Description for Classification of Operations Services Supervisor - Wastewater in the Utilities
Department
City of Gilroy
Personnel Commission Page 2 of 2 November 25, 2024
focused on the wastewater function. The next staff report in the packet will cover the
existing position that is changing due to the wastewater function moving to the Utilities
Department.
All of the Operations Services Supervisors are on the following pay band under the
AFSCME Supervisory Unit salary schedule: $95,053 - $133,746 annually. No changes
to the salary range are being proposed. Employees in this classification are also eligible
for certificate pay for possessing certain related technical certifications related to the
position.
Staff met with the AFSCME, Local 101 labor group to discuss this new position and the
proposed job description. The agreed upon changes have been incorporated into the
attached job description.
Upon Personnel Commission approval of the job description and salary range, Human
Resources will begin a recruitment for this new position.

Agenda Item Title:Job Description for Operation Services Supervisor -
Streets, Stormwater & Drainage & Trees in the Public
Works Department
Meeting Date:November 25, 2024
From:LeeAnn McPhillips, Administrative Services and Human
Resources Director / Risk Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Approve job description for Operations Services Supervisor – Streets, Stormwater &
Drainage & Trees.
BACKGROUND
During the FY 24 & 25 budget process, the new Utilities Department was established by
City Council approval. The Council supported filling several key positions to lead and staff
the department. A few positions in the new department have already been filled (Utilities
Director, Management Analyst, Senior Civil Engineer, Engineer, and Office Assistant) and
a couple positions are currently out for recruitment (Utilities Business Manager and
Environmental Engineer). A recruitment for the Utilities Operations Manager will begin
shortly. The Utilities Director has been working with Human Resources to develop job
descriptions for the other positions that need to be filled. One of those position is the
Operations Services Supervisor for the Wastewater Section. With the creation of this new
position, the existing Operations Services Supervisor assigned to the
Streets/Wastewater/Trees Section needs to be revised given that the wastewater function
is moving over to the Utilities Department.
As a result of the above referenced change, attached is a draft job description for the
position of Operations Services Supervisor for Streets/Stormwater & Drainage, and Trees
Section. This position will continue to report to the Deputy Director of Public Works -
Operations and will supervise the team of maintenance employees assigned to perform
street, stormwater and drainage, and tree maintenance duties and will perform technical
work in support of the Streets/Stormwater and Drainage/Trees Section. This job
description will be assigned to the existing supervisor who already supervises these
functions, but without wastewater since that function is moving to the Utilities Department.

STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item Title:Update Part-Time/Hourly Pay Rates to Comply with State
of CA Minimum Wage Effective January 1, 2025
Meeting Date:November 25, 2024
From:LeeAnn McPhillips, Administrative Services and Human
Resources Director / Risk Manager
RECOMMENDATION
Approve updates to select Part-Time/Hourly pay rates to comply with the State of
California minimum wage requirement effective January 1, 2025
BACKGROUND
Effective January 1, 2025, the State of California minimum wage will increase to $16.50
per hour. The City of Gilroy has four hourly/part-time/temporary/seasonal positions that
are currently slightly below this required amount. Therefore, effective January 1, 2025,
the following amendments to the Part-Time/Temporary/Seasonal/Hourly Salary Schedule
are needed:
Job Classification Current Hourly Rate Change Needed 1/1/25
for Compliance with State
of CA Minimum Wage
Regulation
Recreation Leader I $16.48 $16.50
Student Worker $16.48 $16.50
Police Cadet (High
School Student)
$16.48 - $17.51 $16.50 - $17.51
Bachelor’s Intern $16.48 - $18.65 $16.50 - $18.65
Given that the adjustment is a very small amount, there is no impact to the overall salary
schedule or any other classifications that need to be adjusted.
