CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Recommended 1993-54 operating Budget Reductions
MEETING DATE: September 1, 1993
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the recommended budget
adjustments shown in Exhibit B hereto.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Zhe background to the information is presented in
Exhibit A.
At the "Shirtsleeve" session of Tuesday. August 24, 1993, there were comments
made relative to some of the budget reductions. Based on those comments, staff
presents adjustments to the recommendations as follows:
1) Restore $250 to auto allowance in City Clerk's office.
2) Restore $1,500 to R-9 supplies in Police Department.
3) Restore $3,500 to dczatioas to the Arts.
If the Council wishes to restore the funds to the Chamber of Commerce, the San
Joaquin Partnership, and the Lodi Downtown Business Association, there are
sufficient reductions elsewhere and increased revenue to cover the $5,200 total
for those three agencies.
One Councilmember expressed concern with regard to the reclassifications.
Staff feels very strongly that each of these .is necessary and justified. In
each case where there is a recommended upgrade, the incumbent has been asked to
assume duties and responsibilities above those normally assigned to that
classification. By the same token, =.n the one case of a downward
reclassification, we anticipate assigning less complex duties. This is
certainly the prudent thing to do. It is consistent with upgrading positions
with more responsibilities -
Attached are justifications for each of the recommended reclassifications
,Exhibit C).
FUNDING: 1993-94 Budget.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council consider the attached recommended
budget reductions for 1993-94 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When the City Council adopted the 1993-94 budget, it
was with the understanding that that document was an interim budget. The State
of California had just adopted its budget, but the fiscal impact on the City of
Lodi was not fully known. The Council directed staff to prepare further
modifications to the budget in order to keep the City of Lodi fiscally sound.
Last week we were notified by the County Tax Collector that the City of Lodi
received $90,000 more in ^roperty Tax than was due. In order to rectify that
situation, the County will withhold from the City the $90,000 in 1993-94.
Therefore, it was necessary to find an additional $90,000. The recommendations
contained herein provide for those additional sums. It also takes into
consideration an adjustment in unemployment insurance costs for part-time
employees, some necessary reclassifications that were not included in the budget
and a $31,000 rebate frau Standard Insurance Company for good experience in the
City's group health coverage.
These recommendations do not consider the reduction of any permanent, full-time
positions that are filled- There are three recommended staffing reductions: a
Park Ranger, an undetermined clerical position, and a contract position in the
Engineering Division. There is presently a vacancy of a Senior Park Ranger. We
propose filling that position, eliminating the Park Ranger position, and adding
additional part-time hours. This will provide the same level of coverage the
City has enjoyed for the last year. We have a vacancy of Department Secretary
and have received notification that an Administrative Clerk II will be leaving
the City. we are looking at means of reassigning personnel to provide the
necessary coverage and will eventually eliminate one position in the City
organization or generate sufficient savings through attrition and the hiring
freeze to offset that cost. The Traffic Engineering Assistant position is
filled with a contract employee working on an hourly basis.
Included in this proposal are a number of reclassifications which would normally
have been done when the budget was initially presented to the City Council.
Council will recall we were in negotiations with the bargaining units asking
Shirtsleeve Session
August 24, 1993
Page Two
them to forgo negotiated salary increases. We discussed the ramifications of
reclassification with them. It was their contention that they could not
negotiate no increases for most of the employees and then agree to upgrades for
a select group of employee. Each one of the recommended reclassifications is
the direct result of employees assuming more responsibilities and more complex
duties as a result of budget reductions or increased responsibilities assigned.
Staff is recommending that $45,500 be transferred from the Long Term risability
Fund. The City is self-insured in this area and has sufficient reserves to
cover any anticipated costs during this fiscal year; therefore, we propose
transferring an amount equal to one year's premium to the General Fund.
A portion of the recoc=ended reductions comes from reductions in contributions
made by the City to other organizations. Recommended is a $2,500 reductic-M in
the contribution to the San Joaquin Partnership and to the Chamber of Commerce; a
$200 .reduction to the Lodi Downtown Business Association, and a $3,500 reduction
in contributions to the Lodi Arts Commission. Representatives of those
organizations have been notified of the Tuesday, August 24 "Shirtsleeve" meeting
so they may present comments to the City Council. The remaining savings are the
result of further belt -tightening, putting off the acquisition of certain data
processing hardware, and curtail' -rig training.
These recommendations do not include any additional monies that may be received
from increased adult sports fees, fees for special services from the Police
and/or Fire Departments, Encroachment permits, or any other revenue
enhancements.
The recommended reductions are more than the $400,000 needed this year. This is
in recognition that the State is backfilling a portion of the $600,000 reduction
in property tax with some cne-time money. These reductions will give us a head
start in covering any short fall the City may experience next year.
FUNDING: None required.

Reclassification is requested for two of the City's four Plant and Equipment Mechanics. Currently two mechanics are
assigned to the Municipal Service Center. These mechanics specific duties are operation and maintenance of the.
twenty-four water wells, stand-by generators. chlorination systems, one Granulated Activated Carbon System and
related equipment. Additionally, they maintain the sanitary sewer and industrial lift stations and storm pumping
facilities. They will in the very near future be overseeing the operation and maintenance of possibly two more
Granulated Activated Carbon Systems (GAC) at various wells (DBCP dilemma).
Additionally, the Mechanics trouble shoot reported problems in the water and wastewater systems to determine if a
City or customer problem exis-s. The Merluanics are also responsible for locating all underground utilities (water,
sewer, storm facilities) prior - any construction by homeowners and/or contractors.
Two other Plant and Equipment Mechanics are assigned to the White Stough Water Pollution Control Facility. These
Mechanics do all phases of maintenance and repair a multitude of equipment and appurtenances at White Stough.
The current practice is a rotational schedule that moves all four Plant and Equipment Mechanics every 4 to 6 months
between the MSC and White Slough.
Division management believes that due to the growing sophistication of both areas (Wells and White Slough) that it is
unwise to continue a complete rotation.
It is our recommendation that two Plant and Equipment Mechanics be reclassified to Senior's and one be assigned to
the MSC and the other to White Stough. This would give the Division continuity and reduce potential errors and
oversites that have occurred. There would then be one person responsible for each area and responsible for
assigning and following up on work
7'/2% above existing Plant and equipment Mechanic (For Budget purposes only).

This request is for the reclassification of the Engineering Technician I/II in the
Development Services Section to'a Senior Engineering Technician level.
This request for reclassification was made this year (see attached materials) and, at
the direction of the City Manager, has been included as a supplemental request in this
year's budget.
FUNDING:
The total cost of this reclassification is S4,998 in salary and $974 in fringe
benefits. Approximately 40% of this cost will be applied to engineering fee revenue.
Thus, the net cost to the General Fund, including fringe benefits, is $3580.

OA t: January 25, 1993
SUBJECT: Reclassification of-ngineering Technician Ii
Our Engineering Technician II in the Engineering Development Services
Section, Jeannie Matsumoto, has requested her position be reclassified to
Senior Engineering Technician. 'team, -.e feels she is working aut of her
classification based on the typical duties she has been performing for the
last few years. She *is the main Public Works permit counter person,
issues most encroachment permits, checks subdivision plans and maps and
confers directly with the engineers preparing these items.
This is not the first time Jeannie has discussed a reclassification with
US. In the past, our response has been that we hoped to evaluate all the
engineering positions at one time. In both the 1991/92 and 1992/93 budget
submittals, we proposed an Engineering Division classification study and
included a specific reccmcendation for the upgrading of this position.
While we still feel this overall classification study should be done, we
feel that in fairness to Jeannie Matsumoto, who has been very patient in
this regard, and in light of the items she pointed out in the job
specifications, the Ci --y should act on this request.
The specifications involved are 'attached. The Engineering Technician I/II
specification contains little reference to development review duties. The
Senior Engineering Technician specification clearly covers many of
Jeannie's duties. in checking with other agencies, it appears these
duties are usually handled by a 'senior -type" technician or. an engineer.
We also noted that most agencies have more than the three levels of
subprofessional classifications Lodi has.
Please review this situation and let us
can respond to this request.

RECLASSIFT—__ft=Oli OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK II
TO R.I_K MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN
1993/94 BUDGET
When the position of Administrative Clerk II was created in the City
Manager's office in 1990, it was difficult to fully delineate its complete scope
of responsibilities. This positions acquired responsibilities for administration
of workers' compensation and general liability programs at its inception. These
responsibilities were transferred from the Personnel, City Clerk and City
Attorney offices. Initially, this position performed secretarial duties.
However, these responsibilities rapidly increased to include more pro -active
efforts towards developing conamication linkages between Associated Claims
Management, Inc., Insurence Consulting Associates, departments, attorneys,
physicians and City Admiuistra*-.1ins. This position also played a role in
developing systems designed to streamline work flow and reduce claims.
In addition to its risk seanagement function, this position also has solid
waste management responsibilities which include processing of refuse rate
reduction applications, preparing agenda and minutes for the Solid Waste
Management Task Force meetings, answering innumerable inquiries from residents
regarding use of the new collection system and refuse fees, and communicating
with California Waste Removal Systems on collection system issues.
The following qualificatisz=s are essential in order to maintain the level of
service which has developed. A working knowledge of the practices and procedures
of workers' compensation third party administrators is a must. An ability to
decipher legal documents, meet legal deadlines and knowledge of the legal system
is also essential.
The ability to simply perform clerical tasks is not sufficient for this
position. Workers' compensatica has numerous inherent deadlines (trial.dates,
medical evaluation, permanent disabil.ty awards) which must be observed. Failing
to take certain actions on particular dates or overlooking significant details
associated with cases can tra=slate into financial losses for the City. This
position is also responsible for highly sensitive, confidential issues. These
qualities are not normally fct=d in a traditional Administrative Clerk II
position.
The employee must also possess the ability to observe systems and procedures
and recognize ways to improve, c_ replace them with superior alternatives. Third
party administrators traditi—I ly do not receive compensation on the basis of
their ability to reduce the ==ber of claims submitted to the client. In fact,
the converse is often true, the greater the number, the greater their
compensation. This positioc calls for an individual who can effect system
improvements in a pro -active ager. The objective of these improvements is to
reduce the number and severity cf claims. This requires both technical skills as
well as human relations skills. The position must be able to develop and
maintain friendly working relationships with employees in order to elicit their
continued cooperation.
RECLASSIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK II
TO RISK MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN - 1993/94 BUDGET
September 1, 1993
Page 2 of 2
In addition to the responsibilities of this position outlined above, many
new responsibilities have been added. with the creation of the Economic
Development Coordinator, several safety responsibilities have been transferred.
Some of these duties include:
SB 198/Cat-OSHA regulations
Hearing tests/Hepatitis shots/Flu shots
Safety committee co-chair
Safety buck program
Completion of safety glasses program
United Way
On top of. .all this, the City is attempting to initiate a wellness effort
which is necessary towards reducing the frequency and severity of injuries such
as heart attacks. Other duties are also assigned to this office such as analysis
of the City Code Enforcement Program.
Over the course of this position these accomplishments have been realized:
Number of litigated claims are down (only 4 in the past 12 months)
Temporary Disability hours have been reduced: 1991 8,084.50
1992 5,568.50
estimated for 1993 2,650.00
This represents a savings of approximately 67V of total temporary disability
hours over the last two years. The use of temporary disability,hours has several
negative spin-off effects. The longer an employee is away from work, the greater
the probability that other costs such as medical treatment will escalate. The
containment of temporary disability hours is a keystone of the entire workers'
compensation system. To keep these number under control, it is imperative that
the City maintain its current level cf effort.
There is widespread agreement in the State of California that the workers'
compensation and general liability systems are out of control. This situation,
especially regarding workers' compensation claims, is damaging not not only to
cities which must incur huge losses, but also to applicants. In worst cases,
employees can become entangled in a ponderous system which demands a great deal
of their time, energy and effort. This position helps to facilitate and simplify
the complex system we must manage. By explaining workers' compensation laws,
practices, and procedures regarding litigated and non -litigated claims to
employees, ti.e level of communication has increased and misconceptions regarding
this system have been reduced.
MEMORANDUM, City of Lodi, Public Works Department
0 -%
To: City Manager
city counca
From: Public Works Director
D,Y,e: September 1, 197.3
Subject: Redassitk ation of Building Maintenance Worker to Building Service Worker
The recommended region is solely for the purpose of saving the City money.
In the Building Maintenance series, there are the following three job classifications:
Senior Building Maintenance Worker
Building Maintenance Worker
Building Service Worker
A Senior Building Maintenance Worker position and a Building Maintenance Worker position are
presently assigned to Public Works. The person filling the Senior Building Maintenance Worker
position retired August 8.19x3. M an effort to save the City money, it is recommended that the
Building Maintenance Worker position be downgraded to a Building Service Worker position.
Copies of the Three Building Maintenance classifications are attached. It Is our feeling that we
can accomplish the same work without working anyone out of class by using a Senior Building
Maintenance Worker and a Bc"Iding Service Worker.
We also put together an inventory of all of the HVAC systems in all departments within the City
and found that very few of these systems are receiving the proper, if any, preventative
maintenance. We are, ther+esare, recommending an increase in our Operations and Maintenance
Account of $2,000 to have a preventative maintenance program developed for all of the major
HVAC systems. As part of this preventative maintenance, the Public Works Department would
be taking over all of the preventative maintenance for HVAC systems at Hutchins Street Square.
Our Department also found recently that the major repairs of the newer HVAC systems, because
of their complexity and the use of solid -stale electronics, cannot be maintained by in-house
personnel. We are. merefore, recommending an additional $8,000 be placed in the Operations
and Maintenance Account for catracting out major HVAC repairs.
The total change recommended in the 10.531.01 Building Maintenance Account is as follows:
Reclassification of Blinding Maintenance Worker to Building Service Worker

Subj: 1993/94 Budget Reductions
xc=c=xxac=xx==xxxxxxxcxxxaxaxxasassaxxxoe=xxxxaxxxsxxxsaxxasaaasaa==vaxsaavaa
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council consider the attached recommended
budget reductions for 1993-94 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: When the City Council adopted the 1993-94 budget, it
was with the understanding that that document was an interim budget. The State
of California had just adopted its budget, but the fiscal impact on the City of
Lodi was not fully known. The Council directed staff to prepare further
modifications to the budget in order to keep the City of Lodi fiscally sound.
Last week we were notified by the County Tax Collector that the City of Lcdi
received $90,000 more in Property Tax than was due. In order to rectify that
situation, the County will withhold from the City the $90,000 in 1993-94.
:herefore, it was necessary to find an additional $90,000. The recommendations
contained herein provide for those additional sums. It also takes into
consideration an adjustment in unemployment insurance costs for part-time
employees, some necessary reclassifications that were not included in the budget
and a $31,000 rebate from Standard Insurance Company for good experience in the
City's group health coverage.
These recommendations do not consider the reduction of any permanent, full-time
positions that are filled. There are three recommended staffing reductions: a
Park Ranger, an undetermined clerical position, and a contract position in the
Engineering Division. There is presently a vacancy of a Senior Park Ranger. We
propose filling that position, eliminating the Park Ranger position, and adding
additional part-time hours. This will provide the same level of coverage the
City has enjoyed for the last year. we have a vacancy of Department Secretary
and have received notification that an Administrative Clerk II will be leaving
the City. We are looking at means of reassigning personnel to provide the
necessary coverage and will eventually eliminate one position in the City
organization or generate sufficient savings through attrition and the hiring
freeze to offset that cost. The Traffic Engineering Assistant position is
filled with a contract employee working on an hourly basis.
Included in this proposal are a number of reclassifications which would normally
have been done when the budget was initially presented to the City Council.
Council will recall we were in negotiations with the bargaining units asking
Shirtsleeve Session
August 24, 1993
Page Two
them to forgo negotiated salary increases. We discussed the ramifications of
reclassification with them. It was their contention that they could not
negotiate no increases for most of the employees and then agree to upgrades for
a select group of employee. Each one of the recommended reclassifications is
the direct result of employees assuming more responsibilities and more complex
duties as a result of budget reductions or increased responsibilities assigned.
Staff is recommending that $45,500 be transferred from the Long Term Disability
Fund. The City is self-insured in this area and has sufficient reserves to
cover any anticipated costs during this fiscal year; therefore, we propose
transferring an amount equal to one year's premium to the General Fund.
A portion of the recommended reductions comes from reductions in contributions
made by the City to other organizations. Recommended is a $2,500 reduction in
the contribution to the San Joaquin Partnership and to the Chamber of C.mmerce; a
$200 reduction to the Lodi Downtown Business Association, and a $3,500 reduction
in contributions to the Lodi Arts Commission. Representatives of those
organizations have been notified of the Tuesday, August 24 "Shirtsleeve" meeting
co they may present comments to the City Council. The remaining savings are the
result of further belt -tightening, putting off the acquisition of certain data
processing hardware, and curtailing training.
These recommendations do not include any additional monies that may be received
from increased adult sports fees, fees for special services from the Police
and/or Fire Departments, Encroachment permits, or any other revenue
enhancements.
'"he recommended reductions are more than the $400,000 needed this year. This is
in recognition that the State is backfilling a portion of the $600,000 reduction
in property tax with some one-time money. These reductions will give us a head
start in covering any short fall the City may experience next year.
FUNDING: None required.

Reclassification is requested for two of the City's four Plant and Equipment Mechanics. Currently two mechanics are
assigned to the Municipal Service Center. T►.ase mechanics specific duties are operation and maintenance of the
'.wenty-four water wells, stand-by generators, chlorination systems. one Granulated Activated Carbon System and
'elated equipment Additionally, they maintain the sanitary sewer and industrial lift stations and storm pumping
facilities. They will in the very near future be overseeing the operation and maintenance of possibly two more
Granulated Activated Carbon Systems (GAC) at various wells (DBCP dilemma).
Additionally, the Mechanics trouble shoot reported problems in the water and wastewater systems to determine if a
City or customer problem exists. The Mechanics are also responsible for locating all underground utilities (water,
sewer, storm facilities) prior to any construction by homeowners and/or contractors.
Two other Plant and Equipment Mechanics are assigned to the White Slough Water Pollution Control Facility. These
Mechanics do all phases of maintenance and repair a multitude of equipment and appurtenances at White Slough.
The current practice is a rotational schedule that moves all four Plant and Equipment Mechanics every 4 to 6 months
between the MSC and White Slough.
Division management believes that due to the growing sophistication of both areas (Wells and White Slough) that it is
unwise to continue a complete rotation.
It is our recommendation that two Plant and Equipment Mechanics be reclassified to Senioes and one be assigned to
the MSC and the other to White Slough. This would give the Division continuity and reduce potential errors and
oversites that have occurred. There would then be one person responsible for each area and responsible for
assigning and following up on work.

Subject: Jeannie Matsumoto. Engineering Te=nidan 1111 Redassific3tion
T
e Public Works Cecartment recEntty asked the Personnel Ceoamtent to evaluate
Ms. Matsumota's job duties for possible redassification. We indicated this subject has
been disc,.issed for a number of years in the cantext of the entire E;tgineering Division
and has been reoeatealy put on hold. Ct all the positions in this Divisi(n, her dudes. in
our minds. are deany the most out of Gne with her classification. The response we
received cnsistea of memos from the Personnel Clm4= and you stating that
reCansificarion studies were to be put on hold and any exceptions must be approved by
you. We are requesting such an exception for the following reasons.-
1)
easons=
1) Ms. Mamumoto's dudes involve subdivision plan checking and
encroac•.ment permittcounter worx Under any mcrtganu=on. these
duties wiD still be there. The 3raw alive is to use an engineer as we did
many years ago.
2) Her performance of these tasks is not the mutt of unfilled vacancies or
any other temporary ==instance.
3) The Civision has one full--dme equivalent position filled by a cm=ct
employee, which will be vacated this simmer. Thus. we will have some
additional fle:d'bWty in reorgmizing. if necessary.
4) These tasks are one of the few General Fund positions largety funded by
fees. As such, we have an obligation to staff it property.
5) Last and probably most important it is the right thing to do. As noted in
our previous memo (ccpy attached), this subjeG has been discussed for
over two years. Ms. Mamunoto is not the kind of person to shirk dudes or
complain formally. We know she is upset by this situation and has
spcken to her supervisors on many occasions about her situation.
Whether we have four hundred employees or three hundred. it is
important we treat them fairly. With posmbie reducdons in staft it will be
even more important that the employees who are left feel they are being
treated fairty.
We urge you to approve this request and dire= the Personnel Cepanment to proceed

SUBJECT: Reclassification of Engineering Technician ii
Our Engineering Technician II in the Engineering Development Services
Section, Jeannie Matsumoto, has requested her position be reclassified to
Senior Engineering Technician. Jeannie feels she is working out of her
classification based on the typical duties she has been performing for the
last few years. She'is the main Public Works permit counter person,
issues most encroachment permits, thetics subdivision plans and maps and
confers directly with the engineers preparing these i te.'ms .
This is not the first time Jeannie has discussed a reclassification with
us. In the past, our response has been that we hoped to evaluate all the
engineering positions at one time. In boat the 1991/92 and 1992/93 budget
submittals, we proposed an Engineering Division classification study and
included a specific recommendation for the upgrading of this position:
While we still feel this overall classification study should be done, we
feel that in fairness to. J::annie "Matsumoto, who has been verb patient in
this regard, and in light of the items she pointed out in the job
specifications, the City should act on this request.
The specifications involved are attached. The Engineering TechnicianI/II
specification contains little reference to development review duties. The
Senior Engineering Technician specification clearly covers many of
Jeannie's duties. In checking with other agencies, it appears these
duties are usually handled by a 'senior -type' technician or an engineer.
We also noted that most agencies have more than the three levels of

classifications Lodi has.
Please review this situation and let us know how Jou wish

RECLASSIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK II
TO RISK MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN
1993/94 BUDGET
When the position of Administrative Clerk II was created in the City
Manager's office in 1990, it was difficult to fully delinebte its complete scope
of responsibilities. This position acquired responsibilities for administration
of workers, compensation and general liability programs at its inception. These
responsibilities were transferred from the Personnel, City Clerk and City
Attorney off' --es. Initially, this position performed secretarial duties.
However, the • responsibilities rapidly increased to include more pro -active
efforts towards developing communication linkages between Associated Claims
Management, Inc., Insurance Consulting Associates, departments, attorneys,
physicians and City Administration. This position also played a role in
developing systems designed to streamline work flow and reduce claims.
In addition to its risk management function, this position also has solid
waste management responsibilities which include processing of refuse rate
reduction applications, preparing agenda and minutes for the Solid Waste
Management Task Force meetings, answering innumerable inquiries from residents
regarding use of the new collection system and refuse fees, and communicating
with California Waste Removal Systems on collection system issues.
The following qualifications are essential in order to maintain the level of
service which has.developed. A working knowledge of the practices and procedures
of workers' compensation third party administrators is a must. An ability to
decipher legal documents, meet legal deadlines and knowledge of the legal system
is also essential.
The ability to simply perform clerical tasks is not sufficient for this
position. Workers' compensation has numerous inherent deadlines (trial dates,
medical evaluation, permanent disability awards) which must be observed. Failing
to take certain actions on particular dates or overlooking significant details
associated with cases can translate into financial losses for the City. This
position is also responsible for highly sensitive, confidential issues. These
qualities are not normally found in a traditional Administrative Clerk II
position.
The employee must also possess the ability to observe systems and procedures
and recognize ways to improve, or replace them with superior alternatives. Third
party administrators traditionally do noc receive compensation on the basis of
their ability to reduce the number of claims submitted to the client. In fact,
the converse is often true, the greater the number, the greater their
compensation. This position calls for an individual who can effect system
improvements in a pro -active manner. The objective of these improvements is to
reduce the number and severity of claims. This requires both technical skills as
well as human relations skills. The position must be able to develop and
maintain friendly working relationships with employees in order to elicit their
continued cooperation.
RECLASSIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE CLERK II
TO RISK MANAGEMENT TECHNICIAN - 1993/94 BUDGET
September 1, 1993
Page 2 of 2
In addit.on to the responsibilities of this position outlined above, many
new responsibilities have been added. With the creation of the Economic
Development Coordinator, several safety responsibilities have been transferred.
Some of these duties include:
SB 198/Cal-OSH4 regulations
Hearing tests/Hepatitis shots/Flu shots
Safety committee co-chair
Safety buck program
Completion of safety glasses program
United Way
On top of all this, the City is attempting to initiate a wellness effort
which is necessary towards reducing the frequency and severity of injuries such
as heart attacks. Other duties are also assigned to this office such as analysis
of the City Code Enforcement Program.
Over the course of this position these accomplishments have been realized:
Number of litigated claims are down (only 4 in the past 12 months)
Temporary Disability hours have been reduced: 1991 8,084.50
1992 5,568.50
estimated for 1993 2,650.00
This represents a savings of approximately 67V of total temporary disability
hours over the last two years. The use of temporary disability hours has several
negative spin-off effects. The longer an employee is away from work, the greater
the probability that other costs such as medical treatment will escalate. The
containment of temporary disability hours is a keystone of the entire workers'
compensation system. To keep these number un'er control, it is imperative that
the City maintain its current level of effort.
There is widespread agreement in the State of California that the workers'
compensation and general liability systems are out of control. This situation,
especially regarding workers' compensation claims, is damaging not not only to
cities which must incur huge losses, but also to applicants. In worst cases,
employees can become entangled in a ponderous system which demands a great deal
of their time, energy and effort. This position helps to facilitate and simplify
the complex system we must manage. By explaining workers' compensation laws,
practices, and procedures regarding litigated and non -litigated claims to
employees, the level of communication has increased and misconceptions regarding
this system have been reduced.
