City Manager's 2004 Budget Recommendations A. Deduce internal support services staff by 3 FTE's in Administra- tion, Community Development, Finance, Public Works, and Parks and Recreation. $120,000. . Explanation: We would probably have to adopt a Upcol" concept whereby administrative support staff are not assigned to a department but to a "support pool." The "support pool," then, 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 Cipeel" to that department. On busy days, there are more support staff to help that department; on slower days there are fever. B. Cut 2 FTE's in Parks and Recreation, probably relating to cus- todial services and our Mature Center. Net $55P000. . 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 Mature 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 FTE. $40,000* i. Explanation: Currently, we have one vacancy each in P &R 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 vaunt position, we would still have a total of 13 front -line FTE's crk- ing year -round on Parrs and Public Works mainte- nance projects supplemented by an additional 17 seasonal employees who work full -tune throughout the summer on Parrs and Public Works mainte- nance projects. lei
