AGENDA TITLE: Class Specification and Salary Range for Aquatics Coordinator
MEETING DATE: Wednesday, November 17, 1999
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the class specification and salary range for Aquatics
Coordinator.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Since its opening in 1990, the Community Center pool has
been staffed by part-time lifeguards. These lifeguards have been young adults who have schooling
commitments and/or are actively seeking full-time employment. Therefore the tum -over rate has been high,
and staffing has been difficult to maintain. As a result, the continuity in services that the pool provides has
been inconsistent and revenue has been lost. A classification study which has been conducted reveals that
this position will be responsible for overall operations of the pool's services including the training and
certification of lifeguards not only for the Community Center but for all City lifeguards. This position will
also contribute to increased revenue through the elimination of a part-time position, by expanding the pool's
hours of operation, working with Lodi Memorial Hospital's physical and pediatric therapy programs, and
enahancing Camp Hutchins' swim program. This classification will be placed in the General Services
collective bargaining unit.
It is recommended to approve the class specification attached with the following salary range:
A B C D E
$ 2,306.85 $ 2,422.19 $ 2,543.30 $ 2,670.47 $ 2,803.99
FUNDING: Currently funded.
