<br />I <br /> <br />MR. STAPLETON: <br /> <br />MR. SPARKS: <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />1711 <br /> <br />engineers, or rather one junior engineer <br />and our assistant hydraulic engineer - took <br />the written Civil Service examination yes- <br />terday. That will be followed by an oral <br />examination sometime next month. The remain- <br />ing members of the staff will take their <br />examinations sometime during the month of <br />November. <br /> <br />As I previously indicated, there has been <br />considerable interest in those positions and <br />I thirikthere were some eight or ten people <br />at le~st, who took the examinations yesterday <br />for the two positions that we have open. <br /> <br />Now just yesterday we finally got our <br />staffing pattern settled with the C~vil Service <br />Commission. For the three new positions created <br />by this Board about a'year ago, the Civil Service <br />Commission has finally approved an~established <br />these positions - a Deputy Director for the <br />Water Conservation Board; another senior hydraulic <br />engineer (we now have one) which will make two <br />senior hydraulic engineers; and one water re- <br />sources analyst. The Deputy Directorship is now <br />being filled by Mr. Gildersleeve under a provi- <br />sional appointment and an examination must be <br />given within eight months. The senior hydraulic <br />engineer position is now being occupied by Mr. <br />Morrill on a provisional basis and his examina- <br />tion will be given next month. Mr. Kuiper is <br />now occupying the position of chief hydraulic <br />engineer on a provisional basis and Mr. Stanley <br />Miller is occupying the position of supervising <br />hydraulic engineer on a provisional basis, both <br />subject to examination next month.w <br /> <br />WNow will you explain to the Board and our <br />guests how your staff has been expanded in the <br />last year and a half to meet the surface water <br />problems and the construction of reclamation <br />projects.w <br /> <br />nA year and a half ago, our staff had only <br />six engineers. It was obviously impossible to <br />accomplish the great variety of tasks assigned <br />to this Board with such a small staff. Through <br />the action of this Board, and the subsequent <br />approval by the Legislature, three additional <br />people have been added to tne staff. Actually <br />our full staff now consists of 13 people, three <br />of whom are administrative such as Mrs. Keating, <br />our Secretary, and the other ten are technical <br />
