INTRODUCED: _ April 13, 2015 BY: Chris Nicoll PASSED AND APPROVED: April 27, 2015 City Clerk’s Office Item # R-6 BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED ORDINANCE COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 13, 2015 TO: President Stephen G. Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director Earl Wilkinson – Public Works Director SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2015 STAFFING ORDINANCE BY REALLOCATING A POSITION WITHIN THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT STREETS DIVISION AND REASSIGNING THE POSITION TO THE PUBLIC WORKS ENGINEERING DIVISION SUMMARY: The Department of Public Works requests to adjust its staffing by moving the Pavement Management Technician from the Public Works Streets Division to the Public Works Engineering Division. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On December 22, 2014, Ordinance No. 8811 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2015. BACKGROUND: The Public Works Department requests to adjust its staffing by moving the Pavement Management Technician position from the Public Works Streets Division to the Public Works Engineering Division due to the operational needs of the department. The requested change would help the department better meet staffing and production needs as they relate to construction inspection activities. Select inspection duties will be assigned to the Pavement Management Technician classification moving forward and the assignment within the Engineering Division will facilitate professional engineering oversight of the performance of these critical inspection responsibilities. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: This action will not result in a financial impact for 2015. The Pavement Management Technician has been budgeted for fiscal year 2015 and there is no proposed change in salary. This is simply a change in division assignment. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: The no action alternative would be to retain the current classification in the Streets Division. This would disallow the department to reorganize and redistribute essential functions needed for optimal operational efficiency of the Public Works Department Engineering Division, continuing to cause strain on the already limited resources of the department. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
