Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
The total estimated annual cost for the Parks Manager position is approximately $131,000. This position will primarily be funded with General Fund resulting in an increase in Net County Cost for the Parks Division of $131,000.
Background
On March 25, 2013, the Board approved a proposal to establish a Parks Division reporting to the Chief Administrative Office and directed staff to prepare the necessary administrative changes to implement the proposal. The Parks Division will include:
- One Parks Manager
- One Department Analyst
- One River Recreation Supervisor
- Five Seasonal employees
The Parks Manager position will be a new position within the Parks division reporting to the Assistant Chief Administrative Officer. The Department Analyst is an existing position that has been assigned to support park related activities. The River Recreation Supervisor and seasonal employees are currently under Environmental Management but would transfer to the Parks Division.
Reason for Recommendation
The proposed Resolution revises the prior Parks and Recreation Manager job specification to reflect the recently approved organizational structure, update the responsibilities that will be assigned to the position, and establish a salary commensurate with those duties and responsibilities.
Additionally, staff recommends the transfer of parks operations and river management functions from Environmental Management to the Parks Division effective May 1, 2013, the beginning of the summer season. The budgets and position allocations for these programs will be included in the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1) Human Resources will implement the changes to the personnel allocations.
2) Park operations and river management functions will transfer to the Parks Division reporting to the Chief Administrative Office.
3) Position allocations and program budgets will be transferred to the Parks Division as part of the FY 2013-14 Recommended Budget.
