and inspecting street and utility construction projects. Keeps a log of construction <br /> activities and ensures that projects are built to the specifications provide by the <br /> engineer. Also performs all duties associated with Public Works, including repairs <br /> to water and sewer systems, street patching and maintenance, meter reading and <br /> plowing snow. If the paving overlay program moves forward, this position will <br /> remain a high priority. There is not another staff person in Public Works that can <br /> perform all of the job duties of this position. Not practical to reduce this position. <br /> Public Works Maintenance Technician (two incumbents) Under the direction of <br /> the Public Works Director, performs all duties associated with Public Works, <br /> - - -. .. —+ +— a -A - P — —+ ems street pate _g and maintenance, <br /> meter reading, park maintenance and plowing snow. While the work load is <br /> sufficient to keep two people busy in this position, I believe that the city can <br /> function reasonably well if one position were eliminated. The impacts would likely <br /> be noticeable with work sometimes being delayed. The ability to handle absences <br /> will be more difficult, and will have to be coordinated to continue core functions of <br /> the department. <br /> Summary of Analysis. It would be possible to reduce staff by two positions, one <br /> in the office and one in public works. Impacts would be felt by other staff, who may <br /> need to pick up some of the work load of the vacated positions. The public may <br /> notice the difference by delay in some non - emergency service, especially during <br /> times when staff vacations occur, but core functions of the city can be continued <br /> with minimal impact. <br /> Savings to the budget would not be immediate, due to the fact that laid off <br /> employees would likely draw unemployment benefits that must be reimbursed by <br /> the city. The transition cost would go away after 2012, so that the full savings is <br /> available to the budget in 2013. <br /> Dallas Larson, Administrator <br /> 2011 -09 -14 <br /> Budget Discussion and Staffing Analysis CADocaments and SeWngs\tbenderUmd Settings\Temporary Internet Files \OLK158\Budg <br /> Page 3 of 3 <br />
