Personnel /tddi#ons: Staff Reorganigation July 15, 2002 Page 6 of 6 A public services director and a park and recreation director are logical next steps in our organizational evolution. These two positions are needed to support the growing departments they would be supervising. These type of changes are very typical as a city grows. I strongly support both the park and recreation director position and the public services director position (plus the engineering department) and the subsequent reorganization of the city's departments as a way of providing better services to the public and to the department heads. CONCLUSION The purpose of this memo is to bring forward some personnel issues that the Council will need to look at in the 2003 budget. I need the Council to consider whether or not an engineering department should be established, and if so, when. Also, I need the Council to provide some feedback on the reorganization recommendation to establish a public services director/engineer position with the understanding that the engineering responsibility would fall to an assistant city engineer within a few years. I also need to make the Council aware that the engineering department and a public services director position is fighting for the same dollars as a park and recreation director and staff for a park and recreation department. This is a priority decision that needs to be made by the City Council. Finally, if the Council agrees to the reorganization concept and the engineering department, I need some Council response to trying to hire Terry Maurer as the public services director.
