Title
CONSIDER RESOLUTION 19-023 AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN, RESOLUTION 77-111, BY ADOPTING NEW AND REVISED JOB CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE SUPERINTENDENT AND LANDSCAPE AND MAINTENANCE SUPERINTENDENT (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The job classification specifications are being presented to ensure that staff is able to address the vital service needs for the City. Since September of 2017, the position of Public Works Superintendent has been vacant, with the Director of Public Works absorbing the daily responsibilities associated with the role. This position is responsible for the oversight of 11 direct reports that supervise Administration, Public Works Right Of Way, Landscape and Building Maintenance crews. There have been two recruitments to backfill the Public Works Superintendent position. The first recruitment effort did not render any viable candidates, and the second recruitment effort rendered candidates whose expertise was more focused than general. Based on an assessment of the applicant pool from both recruitments, a reassessment of the posting, and the FY18/19 approved budget within the Public Works Department, bifurcating the responsibilities and filling two Superintendent positions - one for Right of Way Operations and Maintenance and one for Landscape and Building Maintenance - is the most beneficial route for the City to take at this time.
