b) Job Description — Salary Placement
1. Maintenance Coordinator — New Position
A motion was made and seconded to approve the recommended salary range placement for
the new position of Maintenance Coordinator at Range 20 of the salary scale.
Discussion followed.
Manager Gifford stated that minor administrative corrections were made to the job description
after it was already distributed in the Board packet. He distributed the corrected version. The
rating process for placement of a position was briefly described. Manager Gifford gave some
background on the new position and explained the need for the position with the addition of
general obligation bond projects. He also stated that once the salary range is approved for
this position, advertising will begin immediately.
Woody Koning, Director for the Engineering & Facilities Department gave a brief overview of
the new position and went over some of the duties. He described how the Engineering
Facilities Department has grown with the General Obligation Bond projects. He also
described how the position will fit in overall with the Engineering & Facilities Department, and
the schools and hospital. He added that this position would be responsible for administering
the contracts for the many projects in the department, and would also handle OSHA/safety
issues and training. He added that the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center is a very
complicated building that is now ten years old and steps must be taken to identify needs to
keep it viable. He mentioned that the hospital is also about ten years old.
Discussion followed on the certification requirements, experience level, and the competitive
starting rate based on similar jobs around the state in other similar communities.
The motion passed unanimously.
