AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Adding One Maintenance Worker I Position in the Wastewater
Division and One Maintenance Worker III Position in the Streets Division and
Deleting One Wastewater Plant Operator and One Streets Supervisor Position
Within the Public Works Department
MEETING DATE: August 5, 2015
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution adding one Maintenance Worker I position in the
Wastewater Division and one Maintenance Worker III position in the
Streets Division and deleting one Wastewater Plant Operator and
one Streets Supervisor position within the Public Works
Department.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Director would like to delete two vacant and
funded positions. Specifically, the Director is requesting to delete
one Wastewater Plant Operator and one Streets Supervisor, and
add two lower level positions; one Maintenance Worker I and one
Maintenance Worker III. The Public Works Director has been implementing a strategic plan over the past
several years, which includes changes to positions, resulting in cost savings and improved operations in
the Public Works department.
The requested position change in the Streets Division is needed because of the transition of maintenance
work being performed in-house, rather than contracting it out to vendors. As such, there is a need for
additional maintenance workers and less of a need for a supervisor position. There is currently one
vacant Streets Supervisor position, due to a recent promotion, and the Public Works Director wishes to
implement the organizational change at this time.
Upon review of the operational needs at the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility, it was
determined there is a higher need for a Maintenance Worker than a Plant Operator. As such, the Public
Works Director requests the elimination of one Wastewater Plant Operator vacant position and the
addition of one Maintenance Worker I.
Staff requests that you approve these position changes.
FISCAL IMPACT: Cost savings of about $42,919 annually, of which $26,352 is in the Streets
Division, and $26,567 is in the Wastewater Division.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Cost savings as noted abo e.
