The Staffing Ordinance provides for the allocation of positions by various departments for the Fiscal Year. RECOMMENDATION Approval of the ordinance. BACKGROUND RECLASSIFICATIONS The Parks and Recreation Department also recommends making classification adjustments. These are urgent changes needing to occur as soon as possible. Other possible changes may occur in Fiscal Year 2011. 1. Change the vacant Recreation Supervisor 1 position from Class A — General Services to Recreation Supervisor, Class B — Administrative. This classification change will result in an increase in pay referenced in the associated change to the proposed change to the Classification and Pay Plan. 2. Change the title of the vacant Recreation Center Coordinator to Recreation Supervisor consistent with the change above. There is no pay change associated with the change. 3. Change the Welder position to a Parks Senior Mechanic/Welder becoming the lead staff and adding some administrative duties in the creation of the equipment maintenance program for the Parks and Recreation Department. This classification change will result in an increase in pay referenced in the associated change to the proposed change to the Classification and Pay Plan. 4. Change the Caretaker II — Playgrounds to a Program Coordinator for the Park Ranger Program. This position will remain in Class A — General Services. This position will be responsible for the creation, development and implementation of park ranger /park security program for the Parks and Recreation Department. The responsibility for the playground inspections and audits will fall upon the Parks Supervisors. This classification change will result in an increase in pay referenced in the associated change to the proposed change to the Classification and Pay Plan. 5. Change the title of the Parks Area Coordinator to Parks Manager. A salary adjustment for this position due to market trends is also requested on an associated compensation ordinance. 6. Change the title of the vacant Parks Caretaker II — Maintenance to Parks Caretaker, Senior. This position is a more skilled and experienced caretaker, whom may serve as crew leader to lower level staff and will be assigned to more complex sites like City Park, Langoni, or Mineral Palace Park. FINANCIAL IMPACT The recommended re- classifications results in a net savings from current 2009 salaries to new 2010 starting salaries of approximately $4,500. It is expected that some of the rehired positions will begin above the starting wage and therefore the full savings may not be realized. but there will be no increase.
