Item # 6_5 MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council FROM: Cal Portner, City Administrator DATE: January 9, 2012 SUBJECT: Public Works Staffing Discussion In preparation for the final General Fund Budget discussion, it was brought to my attention that we had three pending requests for position reclassification review. One of the positions was the assistant street maintenance superintendent. After reviewing the reclassification request and discussing the history of what had happened in the Street Maintenance Division, the November 21, 2011, memorandum was prepared by Human Resource Representative Wipper outlining the proposal for Council consideration. From my review of past staff reports, minutes, memos, and discussions with staff this is where we are at as I understand. Phased Retirement Street Superintendent Phil Hals requested and was approved for a PERA Phased Retirement Program. For 2012, the city will save $55,886 in salary and benefits as Mr. Hals stays at part- time. The Council approved the hiring of a laborer position in 2011 with funding from the phased retirement as a revenue source. The 2012 wages and benefits for the full-time laborer position are projected to be $35,367. On February 7, 2011, the Council approved a $1.00/hour wage adjustment for the individual(s) assigned as a lead street maintenance worker. The assignment was to be made when both the street superintendent (I'T) and assistant superintendent are absent for a full day or more. On May 2, 2011, the Council approved the wage adjustment for lead worker for when either the superintendent or the assistant superintendent were absent. In the same memo, staff requested authorization for a pay adjustment for the assistant street superintendent, which was not approved, pending further discussion.
