Title
An Ordinance Amending Appendix B to Ordinance No. 6079 - Second Amendment
History
The attached ordinance amends Appendix B, which was originally approved by the Board on December 1, 2025. The proposed change would:
Add five (5) part-time, non-IMRF positions titled Quality Assurance Technician, Grade 600. The Village is requesting the addition of these positions to ensure that work occurring within public rights-of-way and easements by utility companies is completed safely, without damage to public infrastructure, with appropriate communication to residents, and with proper restoration upon completion.
Beginning in Spring 2026, several utility companies will be performing work throughout the Village, including power, gas, and telecommunications infrastructure improvements. Anticipated work includes projects by ComEd, Nicor Gas, AT&T, Comcast, and Astound Broadband.
In 2026, expected permits include one major fiber installation area for AT&T along with smaller repair work, over 60 repair locations anticipated for Comcast, and several remaining construction zones for Astound. Public Works anticipates approximately three to six utility crews working within the Village each day.
To ensure proper oversight, Public Works proposes staggered shifts for the part-time Quality Assurance Technicians to provide field coverage across six (6) days per week.
Financial Impact
The hourly wage range for the part-time Quality Assurance Technician would be from $24.88 - $32.02.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to recommend to the Village Board adopting an Ordinance entitled: ORDINANCE AMENDING APPENDIX B TO ORDINANCE NO. 6079 - SECOND AMENDMENT.
