Justification: Administrative Assistant - Fleet and Facilities would enhance the capabilities of this division by providing administrative support and
freeing up the Superintendent's time to focus on coordinating projects and the needs of his staff. Without a supervisor role to overlook the 9 direct
employees, the Superintendent is constantly juggling the abundance of purchase orders processed and tracking of invoices to managing his employees
and projects. This position would create a more streamline working scenario and excel this division to higher standards.
