The Wrangell Borough Assembly met last Friday, Aug. 14, to consider amendments to the job description of the Facilities Maintenance Specialist. This item was originally considered in their meeting on Aug. 11, but was postponed due to an error in the previous agenda packet making the proposed changes not visible. The changes were also reviewed by the IBEW, the electrical workers' union, and according to the packet no concerns were raised regarding them. The assembly also approved of the alterations to the job description.
The Facility Maintenance Specialist is currently vacant, according to the packet.
The specialist is responsible for day-to-day maintenance and repairs of all the borough's buildings and grounds.
Some of the changes to the job description include reassigning the position from the Public Works Department to the Capital Facilities Department, and putting the specialist under the Capital Facilities Director or the Lead Facility Maintenance Specialist as a direct supervisor. Both of these changes were made in 2018, according to the packet, but were only just now being formalized in the job description. Other changes to the job description outline essential duties and responsibilities in more detail, as well as the qualifications expected of someone in this position. The job description was also amended to state it is preferred that the Facility Maintenance Specialist have a Class 1 Boiler Certificate and EPA 608 Certification.
