maintenance function. Some also maintain the Supervisor role in addition to the Superintendent <br />, and Warking Foreman or Lead Person roles. We have been concerned of our ability to attract the <br />. appropriate skillset to meet our needs going forward under our current organizational structure. <br />� The new structure is similar to the City's Parks Department organizational structure in the <br />.. operations areas. The new structure will create a more sustainable operations management <br />., function in the Public Works Department. Additional changes will be recommended in the Fleet <br />�, and Facilities function as future retirements occur that may allow for reallocation of resources to <br />� better provide other departmental functions. <br />� POLICY OBJECTIVE <br />�_ � The Public Works Department is by city code responsible for the design, construction and <br />4.� maintenance of public facilities, the provision of utility services, and operation and maintenance <br />� of city vehicles. In addition recycling is now managed within the department. The City <br />� Manager and Public Warks Director are responsible for recommending necessary resources and <br />� department organizational structure to adequately carry out those functions. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACTS <br />The 2014 cost for these changes is approximately $13,000. The additional funding would be <br />�� included in the three utility enterprise fund budgets in subsequent years. The 2014 amounts can <br />��� be absorbed into the existing 2014 utility budgets. The additional cost for 2015 is anticipated to <br />�. � be approximately $21,000 based on the current pay plan. <br />5 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />��: � Staff recommends the Council authorize the changes as stated above. The new organizational <br />�. structure for the street and utility maintenance areas will alleviate some of the difficulty we are <br />�� having managing the scope of our operations and provide us with the ability to improve customer <br />:- service and preventative maintenance programs. <br />: REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION <br />. Motion to authorize the City Manager to reclassify the Utility Supervisor and Street Supervisor <br />�. positions as Superintendent positions and reclassify a Street Maintenance Worker and a Utility <br />. Maintenance Warker position to Working Foreman positions. <br />Prepared by: Duane Schwartz, Public Works Director <br />Attachments: A: Job summaries <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />
