15. REORGANIZATION OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT – F2M24-2,\nR2M24-3, M2M24-24\nAn assessment of current personnel staffing levels in the Parks and Recreation\nDepartment has demonstrated a need for additional positions to be filled, created, altered\nor moved. The Parks and Recreation Department currently has two budgeted vacant full-\ntime positions - Clerical Assistant III and Park Worker I. By using the combined fully\nburdened funding of both positions, the Parks and Recreation Department can add a full-\ntime Parks Supervisor and a Clerical Assistant II. This will enable the Department to\nprovide greater oversight of services while continuing to provide enhanced quality\nprogramming and maintenance of the City’s parks and facilities at the highest possible\nlevel. No additional appropriation is required to fund the Department's reorganization. The\ncost savings of the vacant positions will offset the salary of a Parks Supervisor and Clerical\nAssistant II.\nRecommended Action: City Council, by one motion, take the following actions: 1)\nApprove the restructuring of the Parks and Recreation Department by eliminating the\nvacant positions of Clerical Assistant III and Park Worker I and creating the positions of\nParks Supervisor and Clerical Assistant II; adopt Resolution No. R2M24-3 entitled: A\nResolution of the Alhambra City Council approving a revised Class Specification for Parks\nSupervisor; and, 3) Direct staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s\naction.
