Assistance Type: OTHER REGULATORY - Loss of DRC and Public Works Director
Reasons: Operations
 
Details: Received word that both the Public Works Director, Harry Pierson, and the offsite DRC, Robert Tilton, have resigned. Spoke to Stephanie (City Recorder) by phone yesterday, and email today. She says one staff person, Keith Riddle, is continuing on and knows the plant, but has no water or WW certification to date. Ray Parkhurst (Fire Dept Chief) is acting as public works director for the time being. To start looking for new personnel, Stephanie asked which certifications are required for their PWS and the DRC Designation form. I provided these by email and gave her the contact info for Dottie Reynolds for further questions on certified operators and DRCs. She understands they need to submit the form within 30 days of a change in DRC.
