<br />As mentioned earlier, the Parks Maintenance (Parks) group in Public Works will be <br />combined with the Parks group at CCS. The new consolidated group will be housed <br />under the umbrella of CCS. This consolidated group will have a new full-time Parks and <br />Recreation Manager and two new Working Supervisors (promotions). The Parks and <br />Recreation Manager will conduct daily inspections of all city parks and provide daily <br />checklists for the Working Supervisors. This position will also coordinate efforts of the <br />Parks group with other CCS personnel for special events, coordinate efforts between <br />the Parks group and the Public Works whenever additional skills are needed, and <br />provide oversight and guidance to the Working Supervisors. The Parks and Recreation <br />Manager will also oversee the Athletics Coordinator who oversees our team sports <br />programs. <br /> <br />The new Parks Working Supervisors will each manage a crew of three and each crew <br />will maintain three parks. As more parks come on line in the future, we will determine if <br />we need to either increase crew size or add a third crew. The consolidation of the <br />Parks crews will allow us to cross-train all of the Parks staff and respond better to all of <br />our ongoing parks maintenance needs. <br /> <br />Not yet - The recommendations above do not include some things that will likely be <br />needed in the future, but in the interest of both not increasing costs too quickly and <br />being able to first assess the impact of the above recommendations before making <br />other changes, these additional ideas will be put on hold. <br /> <br />The most obvious change would be the transfer of the consolidated Parks group to <br />Public Works. This is the more natural home for this function. Once the new <br />management team is on board and the culture of the Department of Public Works <br />becomes more customer-facing so to speak, this is a move that will be brought back for <br />discussion with the Commission. <br /> <br />Another change would be the addition of another Construction crew with the increased <br />capability of taking on larger projects, including road and sidewalk repair and larger <br />construction projects. <br /> <br />Another future change would consolidate all of the City's front desk personnel under <br />one roof as newly cross-trained Customer Service Representatives that support PCP, <br />City Hall main reception, City Hall 4th floor reception and the Visitors Center. <br /> <br />And if the quantity and complexity of the City's cultural and special events offerings <br />continues to increase, more assistance will also be needed in this area. <br /> <br />7 <br />
