. . .. ~ ~~ILLS MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Joe Lynch, City Administrator SUBJECT: Maintenance and Operations DATE: October 12, 2001 CC: Organizational file, personnel file BACKGROUND As previously proposed, City Council has accepted the reorganization plan for both the Administrative staff and Public Works and Parks and Recreation staff. The Public Works and Parks and Recreation side of the organizational change includes establishing a position of Maintenance and Operations Director which takes the place ofthe Public Works Director and combines the duties of the Parks and Recreation Director into that position. It also includes the establishment and filling of the Maintenance and Operations Superintendent position. The Maintenance and Operations Superintendent position would be an exempt, non-union position that oversees the daily operation ofthe Maintenance and Operations employees. The Superintendent would discuss with the Maintenance and Operations Director on a daily basis those tasks, projects, and work load accomplishments for the day, week, month and season. This position would also translate the long-term goals and objectives of the City and Maintenance and Operations Director into the aforementioned daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal work load. By creating an Maintenance and Operations Superintendent position I believe you achieve the following benefits to the City: . A mid-management position that oversees the daily work schedule, operations, and takes the former foreman position out of the dilemma of being both a field working employee and union member. . Allows the oversight of all aspects of Public Works and Parks operations by keeping a perspective on long range plans and because of the removal from direct field work requirements the position is better able to direct manpower, equipment, materials, and contractors, in all aspects of maintenance and operations.
