ORANGE COUNTY 1 BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Action Agenda Item No. ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: October 18, 1994 SUBJECT: Wastewater Treatment Management Program (WTMP) DEPARTMENT: HEALTH PUBLIC HEARING: Yes X No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: HEALTH DIRECTOR'S OFFICE X2411 1. WTMP Workload Requirements for 1994-1995 TELEPHONE NUMBER: Hillsborough - 732-8181 2 . Plan of Action - WTMP Chapel Hill - 968-4501 Mebane - 227-2031 Durham - 688-7331 PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is for the Board of Commissioners to approve the implementation schedule of the WTMP and approve the establishment of a new, permanent environmental health specialist position in the Health Department, with effect from December 5, 1994 . BACKGROUND: The Board of Commissioners at their meeting of June 6, 1994 , approved of the fees to fund the Wastewater Treatment Management Program. Staff developed the WTMP Workload requirements for 1994-1995, based on the number of DEH and DEM systems to be inspected by June 30, 1995 . Estimates of the time required to conduct these inspections and additional duties for the new position demonstrate a need to hire an additional environmental health specialist by early December 1994 . These estimates were used to project milestones for critical tasks that must be accomplished by targeted completion dates. The new position is currently being classified by the Orange County Personnel Department and a budget amendment for Environmental Health has been prepared for the Budget Director. The approved fees will eventually provide sufficient revenue for the program to be self- sufficient. RECOMMENDATION(S) : The Manager recommends that the Plan of Action be approved and that a new, permanent environmental health specialist in the Health Department be established with effect from December 5, 1994 .
