Title
Human Resources Department recommending the Board:
1) Approve and adopt the revised Fleet Services Supervisor department-specific class specification; and
2) Adopt and authorize the Chair to sign Resolution 045-2022 to approve adding 1.0 FTE Fleet Services Supervisor and delete a vacant 1.0 FTE Services Operations Coordinator.
FUNDING: Fleet Services Fund.
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
After collaboration with the Department of Transportation (Transportation), the Human Resources Department (HR) has determined that adding a Fleet Services Supervisor allocation to the Department of Transportation, Fleet Services Unit, and removing one (1) Services Operations Coordinator position is beneficial. This recommendation is based on a current need to have a supervisory role provide direct supervision to fleet staff, ensure fleet work orders are completed in a timely manner, and perform additional administrative duties. Currently, the Services Operations Coordinator position is vacant, and the Fleet Superintendent supervises fleet staff. The Fleet Services Supervisor position will, in addition to the above-listed duties, assist in performing mechanical work as workload increases. In reviewing Transportation’s request, Human Resources determined that the class specification needed to be revised to align the classification with the work required. Transportation assisted in identifying areas of clarification and improvement to better represent the utilization of this classification. Subsequently, the class specification has been updated to align with the position’s required duties.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve any of the recommendations herein and direct Human Resources to make revisions or conduct additional analysis. If the Board chooses not to approve, it would cause continued delays in providing needed staffing for the backlog of work in Fleet.
