ISSUE: Board of Directors' approval is required for the deletion, addition, and the filling
of positions.
RECOMMENDATION: Delete a vacant Senior Control Systems Engineer position
(S83, $9,416- $11,385) and add and authorize the filling of an Associate Control
Systems Engineer position (S79, $8,547- $10,334).
FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This action will result in an annual cost savings of $23,333
which takes into account salary, benefit, and pension costs at the maximum steps of
the salary ranges.
ALTERNATIVES /CONSIDERATIONS: Do not delete, add, and authorize the filling of
the positions. If this action is not approved, the newly merged Process Control /Control
Systems Sections within the Plant Operations Division will not be effectively staffed.
BACKGROUND: The Plant Operations Division (POD) recently evaluated its
organizational structure and has determined that a consolidation of the Process Control
and Control System Sections within POD was needed to effectively and seamlessly
perform the functions allocated to these Sections.
Due to the consolidation, two Section supervisors are no longer needed, hence the
request for the deletion of the vacant Senior Control Systems Engineer position.
However, a position is needed to process applicable computer system to make software
changes to improve or expand computer and /or control system performance; assess,
develop, and implement new computer programs; and assist in diagnosing exchange
problems between plant central control and other systems (laboratory LIMS, Mainsaver,
and intranet/Content Management System). The aforementioned duties are indicative

of the Associate Control Systems Engineer classification and POD is now requesting
the addition of this position to effectively staff the Section.
As this action results in no financial impact, this matter is being sent directly to the
Board without convening an Administration Committee meeting.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Delete a vacant Senior Control Systems
Engineer position (S83, $9,416 - $11,385) and add and authorize the filling of an
Associate Control Systems Engineer position (S79, $8,547- $10,334).
