City Manager said the newly created position eliminated having a superintendent soley at the water plant. Harris will start with a base salary of $49,000 annually, plus benefits, once both sides sign the three-year agreement.

McKechon will pay the city a monthly lease of $100 per month with the city acknowledging the new facility will help promote the city and the airport.
