5.B. Job Title Change
Rationale:
With Tom leaving effective the end of July, there will be a void in our Projects Department leadership as I see Ryan's involvement and activity in the Water Department to be increased in order to utilize his experience and expertise. Plans are to update and revise the Assistant Manager's job description to reflect these responsibilities. It is my plan to change Sean Elliott's title from Rural Water Manager/Projects Coordinator to Rural Water/Projects Manager. This is simply a title change at this time.
