In the future these duties will be performed by the proposed class which wi11 also have the flexibility of being a Heavy Equipment Operator and operate a greater variety of equipment.

Heavy Equipment Operator - Asphalt Plant Tlus class spec describes responsibflity for heavy equipment operations azound the City's asphalt plant specifically and does not describe responsibilities for participating in sewer operations.

Heav�Eauinment Operator - Water Utilitv (Re�'onal Water 5ervicesl This class spec describes responsibility for heavy equipment operations in the Regional Water Services specifically and does not describe responsibilities for participating in sewer operarions.
