AGENDA TITLE: Reallocation of Parks Naturalist Position to Program Coordinator
MEETING DATE: April 21, 1999
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the reallocation of Parks Naturalist position to Program
Coordinator.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In October 1996, the classification of Parks Naturalist was
established. This position was initially responsible for the activities of Lodi's Discovery Center and Nature
Area. At the direction of the City Manager, a classification study was conducted on this position when it
became vacant. The study reveals that since its inception, the responsibilities of the position have increased
dramatically. In addition to its initial responsibilities, the position has increased the numbers of staff it
supervises, and it has been necessary for the position to monitor and coordinate activities conducted at the
other facilities and services offered at the lake. This position will be placed in the General Services
bargaining unit.
It is recommended to approve the class specification attached with the following salary range:
