North Judson Town Council Creates Assistant Town Superintendent Position

A resolution establishing the position of Assistant Town Superintendent was approved when North Judson Town Council members met last week.

According to Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe, the language in the resolution states that the position of Assistant Town Superintendent can be held by an employee of the utility department who possesses all four certifications required to perform the duties associated with the job.

The resolution also states that, in the event of Town Superintendent Marshall Horstmann’s absence, the individual in the Assistant’s position would assume his responsibilities and serve as the point of contact for the Department.

Rowe mentioned that since utility employee Randy Schwartz has the necessary qualifications and has already been acting in this capacity, without the official title, he will most likely be the one to assume the position.

The clerk-treasurer noted that the new position and wage was included in the 2019 Salary Ordinance, which was also approved by the council before the end of the year.

He explained that when a member of the utility crew receives a certification, their pay increases and when all four certifications are received, the employee’s compensation tops out at $17.82 per hour. The individual who serves as the Assistant Town Superintendent would receive an additional 25 cents per hour, bringing them up to an hourly wage of $18.07.
