FROM: Sean P. Crumby, Assistant City Manager/Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVE AMENDMENTS TO THE CLASSIFICATION
PLAN AND DESIGNATE THE PAY GRADE AND
STATUS OF FINANCE MANAGER AND RECREATION
MANAGER CLASSIFICATIONS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council adopt:
1. Resolution No. 6290 approving title change amendments to the
Classification Plan for the Fleet Maintenance Program Manager, Deputy
Director of Public Works/Maintenance and Utilities, and Deputy Director of
Public Works/City Engineer;
2. Resolution No. 6291 approving an amendment to the Classification Plan
for the Recreation Manager;
3. Resolution No. 6292 approving an amendment to the Classification Plan
for the Finance Manager; and
4. Resolution No. 6293 designating the pay grade and status of Finance
Manager and Recreation Manager Classifications.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
The action within this staff report and attached resolutions follow through on
modifications to the Classification Plan as approved in the FY 2012/13 budget
and discussed during the budget process. The changes are detailed below.
Re-classifications of existing positions
Recreation Manager: The Community Services Department is managed under
the direction of the Assistant City Manager. The daily operations are currently
performed by the existing Community Services Supervisor. These daily functions
Agenda Item E
include managing and coordinating recreation programs, numerous special
events, managing of the Seal Beach Tennis Center, staff liaison to the Parks and
Recreation Commission, and supervising full-time and part-time recreation staff.
The title Recreation Manager more appropriately reflects the responsibilities
being performed by this classification. The classification has evolved and
increased in depth of responsibility. The Community Services Supervisor Is
represented by the Seal Beach Supervisors and Professionals Association
(SBSPA). The Personnel Officer (City Manager) has complied with the
requirements of Article II, Section 7.0 of the Employer-Employee Relations
Resolution in determining that the new Recreation Manager classification should
be allocated to the Executive Management and Mid-Management bargaining unit
(unrepresented) as a Mid-Manager, and officially notified SBSPA as well.
Finance Manager: The Finance Department is managed under the direction of
the Finance Director. Under the direction of the Finance Director, the Senior
Accountant plans, manages and coordinates the day-to-day operations of the
Finance Department. This position is responsible for direct supervision of staff,
including training, performance evaluation, establishment of work methods and
standards, and allocation of tasks. This position also participates in the
recruitment and selection of department staff. During the FY 2012/13 budget
process, the Senior Accountant was responsible for the preparation and
completion of the budget, and has led the City through several successful
financial audits, and adoption of the City's first Cost Allocation Study. The City is
currently recruiting for a new Finance Director. During this transition period, the
Senior Accountant classification has increased in responsibility level.
The title of Finance Manager more appropriately reflects the responsibilities
being performed by this revised classification as it has evolved and increased in
depth of responsibility.
Title Changes
Fleet Maintenance Program Manager: The City of Seal Beach has one
employee that is responsible for management of the City's fleet. The position
has been filled with a long-term employee (27 years) with the title of Equipment
Services Supervisor who retired in December 2010. During the budget season in
preparation of the FY 2011/12 annual budget, this position was forzen. Since
that time, the City has maintained the fleet with one part-time mechanic (32 hours
per week). On June 11, 2012 the City Council adopted a Fleet Management
Plan. One of the items included in this Plan is an analysis of how the City of Seal
Beach currently maintains the fleet. Other options for fleet maintenance were
analyzed including contracting out of fleet maintenance both privately and to
another agency. The report concluded that replacement of this position is the
most efficient means of providing fleet maintenance.
During the budget season for FY 2012/13, the City Council expressed a concern
over the title of Equipment Services Supervisor. This title for the classification
Page 2
has been analyzed and although the classification does not manage employees,
the classification is responsible for management of the fleet maintenance
program. It is recommended to modify the classification plan to change the title
of this classification to Fleet Maintenance Program Manager. This title change
will more appropriately reflect the responsibilities of the classification and allow
the City to recruit and retain the most qualified candidate for the classification.
None of the other items within the classification plan including compensation are
being changed with this action. A recruitment to fill this vacant position will begin
immediately, following the City Council's determination whether to amend the
classification title.
Deputy Director of Public Works/Maintenance and Utilities: The City of Seal
Beach has an employee, the Maintenance Services Manager, who manages all
of the maintenance divisions within the Public Works Department. There are
numerous divisions within the department which include: Beach & Pier, Buildings
& Facilities, Parks, Sewer, Storm Drains, Streets & Transportation, Fleet, and
Domestic Water. This position manages a staff of 17 employees that perform a
variety of functions including beach cleaning, facility maintenance, support of
special events, water and sewer system maintenance, cleaning of storm drains,
etc. These divisions also manage numerous contracts including street sweeping,
tree trimming, landscape maintenance, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning
(hvac) maintenance, janitorial, etc. Effective management of these tasks is not
only good practice, but mandated by the state in many cases.
The City has had an employee that has served in this classification for the past
nine years, who recently retired, and been with the City's public works
department for the past 28 years. The classification has changed over the
course of this period. The environmental regulations in particular have
substantially increased. This title change for the classification has been
analyzed. It is recommended to modify the classification plan to change the title
to Deputy Director of Public Works/Maintenance and Utilities. This title change
will more appropriately reflect the responsibilities of the classification and allow
the City to recruit and retain the most qualified candidate for the position. None
of the other items within the classification plan including compensation are being
changed with this action. A recruitment to fill this vacant position will begin
immediately, following the City Council's determination whether to amend the
classification title.
Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer: The City of Seal Beach has
an employee that manages the engineering division within the Public Works
Department. The engineering division delivers the Capital Improvement
Program, supports private development, manages numerous environmental
programs, supports special events, serves as the Traffic Engineer, etc. This
position manages a staff of six (6) employees that perform a variety of functions.
This division also manages numerous contracts including beach backpass,
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), traffic signal
maintenance, sewer inspection, etc.
Page 3
The City has had an employee that has served in this classification for the past
four years. The position has changed over the course of this period.
Environmental regulations and financial reporting in particular have substantially
increased. This title for the classification has been analyzed. It is recommended
to modify the classification plan to change the title of this classification to Deputy
Director of Public Works/City Engineer. This title change will more appropriately
reflect the responsibilities of the classification and allow the City to retain the
current employee longer. None of the other items within the classification plan
including compensation are being changed with this action.
New position
The FY 2012-13 budget approved the creation of a new position, but that position
is not addressed in this action. That final change will be to add the position of
Assistant Planner to the Community Development Department. This change is
not being brought forward at this time as the City is currently recruiting for a
Director of Community Development. The City Manager desires to fill the
Director position first and allow the new Director to provide input regarding the
Assistant Planner responsibilities and candidate selection.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no Environmental Impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
All salaries and benefits are included in the FY 2012/13 adopted budget.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt:
1. Resolution No. 6290 approving title change amendments to the
Classification Plan for the Fleet Maintenance Program Manager, Deputy
Director of Public Works/Maintenance and Utilities, and Deputy Director of
Public Works/City Engineer;
