City Manager's 2004 Budget Recommendations w =z A. reduce internal support services staff by TE's in Administra- tion, Community Development, Finance, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation. $120,000. i. Explanation: We would probably have to adopt a "pool" concept whereby administrative support staff are not assigned to a department but to a "support pool." The "support pool," them, fills the internal administrative needs within these departments such as word processing, filing, phone answering and similar internal support tasks. We would re- spond to the differing daily workloads in each de- partment by deploying more or less staff from the 99pool" to that department. on busy days, there are more support staff to help that department; on slower days there are fever. B. cut 2 FTF 's in pans and recreation, probably relating to cus- todial services and our Nature center. Net 55,000. L Explanation: operations staff would clean their own work areas; in customer areas, possibly some in- crease in existing contract custodial services. ii. Explanation: Mature Center days of operation would be cut from Tuesday- Friday to Thursday and Friday only. Volunteers, I hope, will still operate the Nature center on weekends as they do now. C. Not fill a current vacancy in City maintenance staff and share another maintenance position between two departments, result- ing in a net reduction of 1 FTF. $40,000. i. Explanation: Currently, we h z one vacancy each in P&R P&1 and PW maintenance staff, for a total of maintenance vacancies. I'm proposing we cut one FTE from these two vacancies, and the two depart - ments would fill but share the remaining position. Even if we cut one currently vacant position, we would still have a total of 13 front -lime FT as work- ing year -round on Parks and Public Works mainte- nance projects supplemented by an additional 17 seasonal employees who work full -time throughout the summer on Parks and Public Works mainte- nance projects.
