4. WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER – SYSTEMS CONTROL UNIT REORGANIZATION AND
POSITION CHANGES
Ms. Gee, Chief of Administrative Services, WRC, explained that the WRC is requesting three additional
positions in the Systems Control Unit, which was previously called the Electrical Unit. The primary function
of the Electrical Unit was electrical work, which was performed by electrici ans. With new technology
coming out the Water Resources Commissioner (WRC) staff found a need for electronic type positions, and
electrical work and electronics are different skillsets. Journeyman electricians handle all of the energized
circuits . Accord ing to the National Electrical Code only licensed electrician s can do work on energized
systems; therefore, staff cannot be cross -utilized. The electricians also handle on -call responsibilities, as
they are called out about twice per night. Currently the WRC has four (4) electricians, and they are seeking
approval for an additional two in that area. In regard to the electronics portion, the WRC is in the process of
upgrading the SCADA system at this time. The SCADA system is the centralized Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition system that monitors WRC infrastructure. Ms. Gee explained that because of the
advancement of technology, the SCADA system is going to require additional monitoring, programming and
calibration by staff with electronic experie nce.
The resolution is requesting approval to create three new classifications, to retitle five positions, upwardly
reclassify one position, delete two classifications and create three new positions in the Systems Control
Unit for the maintenance of the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system . The additional
positions will require additional equipment including two cellphones and one smartphone with an initial cost
of $40, which will be funded through the Proprietary Fund in the Drain Equipment account. A budget
amendment is recommended as detailed on the Fiscal Note.
