AGENDA ITEMS
1. MR #16062 - WATER RESOURCES COMMISSIONER (WRC) - CREATE WRC BUSINESS
SYSTEMS MANAGER AND SPECIAL PROJECTS MANAGER - WRC CLASSIFICATION AND
POSITION CHANGES
The WRC is seeking approval to create one (1) new classification of WRC Business Systems Manager at
Salary Grade 16, overtime exempt, and one (1) Proprietary Revenue (PR) funded, Ful l-Time Eligible
(FTE) WRC Business Systems Manager position; as well as to create one (1) new classification of
Special Projects Manager - WRC at Salary Grade 21, overtime exempt, and one (1) PR funded, FTE
Special Projects Manager - WRC position. The purpose of the Business Systems Manager is to work as
a liaison to the Oakland County Information Technology (IT) Department. The position will be responsible
for internal communication with IT, long range planning, and training staff: managers, supervisors, and
field staff. There are over 15 applications and software systems that are specific to WRC, as well as
technology the field staff uses. Several people work on the systems and applications, which takes a lot of
technical knowledge and is time consumin g. The Special Projects Manager - WRC position is a result of
the transition from Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) to Great Lakes Water Authority
(GLWA) that began over a year ago. WRC devoted two full -time people to work out the details and
represent Bob Daddow, Jim Nash, and GLWA in many meetings , as well as represent the WRC for the
regional sewer systems. As the transition progressed, only one full -time person was needed. Now that
GLWA is fully formed, the position is still needed and wi ll be spending 20 -30 hours per week in Detroit at
recurring meetings and workshops representing the County’s best interest. The positions will be posted
and open for anyone to apply, both internal and external.
Weipert moved to report to recommend approval of the attached suggested Resolution.
Supported by Zack.
Motion carried unanimously on a roll call vote with Kochenderfer absent .
