M/S/C/U/(Mosely/Amo) to approve Memorandum of Agreement be-= tween the City of Bremerton and Pierce Transit. POSITION UPGRADES WITHIN TRANSPORTATION DIVISION OF SUPPORT SERVICES, #AB85-307 Mr. Patmon explained that there are 5 production position personnel budgeted in Transportation Division of Support Services; one Foreman, one heavy-equipment mechanic, 1 - mechanic II, and two PM technicians. Because there are only five production persons covering two shifts, and there is more mechanic work than can be accomplished by the foreman and two mechanics, it is requested that the two PM technician positions be upgraded to Mechanic I. They have been provisionally appointgd to this classification, and in order to not violate the Union contract or work these individuals out of classification, it. is suggested that the positions be made permanent, eliminating the PM technician classification. Mr. Patmon stated there is not enough oil and lube type work to be performed, however, a increased need for mechanical type work which both are qualified to perform. As an alternative, Council could extend the provisional appointments until after the audit is performed. Councilman Sturdivant was opposed to upgrading and creating higher paying positions and felt the audit should be performed prior to considering such a action. Ms. Judith Katsirubas, City Auditor, stated it makes good sense due to the job flow and workload, recommending the positions be upgraded. She felt it would not affect the long range costs should the garage close and that the money is in the budget due to not filling the heavy equipment mechanics position.
