Edelcup, Mayor Lewis J. Thaler, Vice Mayor Isaac Aelion, Commissioner Jeanette Gatto, Commissioner George "Bud" Scholl, Commissioner Alan J. Cohen, City Manager Hans Ottinot, City Attorney Jane A. Hines, CMC, City Clerk MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commission FROM: Alan J. Cohen, City Manager DATE: February 14,2012 RE: Updated Reorganization Plan The following is an updated reorganization plan for the City of Sunny Isles Beach government departments. It includes an overall rationale for the recommended changes, a detailed description of the changes, and a five year projection of how these changes will impact the City's budget. These recommendations are based on the professional expertise of our department heads, which collaborated with me in the development of this plan. They are also based on both my best assessment of our organization's needs and on the considerable input I have received to date from the members of the City Commission, including during the City Commission meeting on January 19, 2011. OVERALL RATIONALE The changes in the plan are being recommended to 1) improve operational efficiency, 2) provide higher levels of service where needed, and 3) free up strategic time for leadership. To address these points, it is useful to look at where the organization is today. The City is almost 15 years old. While the organization has grown over time to reflect the service needs of a rapidly growing community, that growth was halted out of necessity by the recent national recession. The economic conditions in our state worsened, with the real estate and construction industries particularly hard hit. This led to a temporary cessation of construction activity in the City and a reduction in the property tax base. Our property tax base is once again on the rise, and our revenues will rise as well. The type of organization (the culture) that we have today is similar to the one that was first created in 1997. It is a transactional-based, reactive organization, which is characteristic of a new organization that is striving to promote development, build out its infrastructure, and accomplish its objectives quickly. As our City grows and matures and our organization follows suit, we must evolve into strategic-based, proactive organization. This does not mean that the organization will be any less efficient, but it does mean that it will do so consistently and equitably. It also means that product and service quality will improve. Agenda Item '0 A '2- \ l,,-l"'2- 1 Date You as the City's elected leaders have a ciear vision for the community. You have invested many resources to improve community infrastructure and aesthetics. It is time for the organization that implements the vision of its elected leadership to change into an entity that is better prepared to deliver both the quantity and quality of services that the City's residents expect and deserve. And it is time for the City to invest more resources into its workforce to achieve these desired results. This plan addresses how our people are organized. In the future, as our financial conditions continue to improve, I hope to come back to you to address how our people are compensated. Of all the goals of bringing our organization to the next level in its development, freeing up strategic time for leadership is most critical. Currently several department heads are working on average 65-70 hours a week. Our department heads are bogged down with transactional activities like administrative paperwork, day to day functions and reacting to 'fires'. Consequently, many of the thought leaders of our organization do not have 'think time,' let alone a healthy work-life balance. In order for our department heads to envision the future needs of their departments and work on improving the quality of their operations and service delivery, and in order for them to also contribute as members of the leadership team to the improvement of the overall organization, they require more time within a work week of reasonable length to be strategic, proactively improve their operations and prevent those 'fires' from ever starting up. Many of the changes in this plan are designed to free up strategic time for the organization's leaders. Providing higher levels of service is being driven by different factors. Construction activity is now picking up again, and with it comes more residents and greater demands. The construction activity itself places special demands on our organization, and we have carefully planned ways to address those demands. Not only do we already have more service demands from more residents, but we also have demands for different services and higher quality services. As we grow as a community, our residents expect us to provide them with quality services commensurate with the quality image of our community, Florida's Riviera. The changing demographics of our community are also resulting in new service demands. As we evolve into a younger and more family oriented community, the needs of our new families place new demands on our organization, not only in what we provide but how we communicate. Many of the changes in this plan are designed to address the growing service needs and demands of our growing and changing community. Whenever one looks at making changes to the structure of an organization, one must look at ways of improving operational efficiency. For example, we have similar functions that reside in different departments. At times it makes sense to combine these similar functions under one roof. We benefit from improved economies of scale, eliminating redundancy of effort and achieving a more focused, coordinated and comprehensive delivery of services. Sometimes improving operational efficiency requires increasing staff in specific areas that are understaffed and sometimes it 2 requires reassigning staff to new tasks that require our attention. The rest of the changes in this plan are designed to improve operational efficiency. RECOMMENDA TIONS Department of Community Development - This Department (formerly known as the Services Division) is currently comprised of the Building Services Division and the Code Compliance Division. A third Planning and Zoning Division will be created. This division will be comprised of a new full-time Planner and an existing GIS Technician. The former ACM/Director of Services previously served as the City's Planning and Zoning officer. He was supported part-time by the Administrative Coordinator of the Code Compliance Division and by an outside consultant. The new Planner position will be devoted full-time to planning and zoning issues, which will be particularly important during the city's next growth phase. Over time, we expect a marked decrease in the need for outside consulting services in this area. The GIS Technician position currently resides in the IT Department. The vast majority of the work product of this position is focused on planning activities for the Departments of Community Development and Public Works. The only other person in the organization who is cross-trained to support the GIS area happens to be the employee who will become the Planner. Moving this position to the Department of Community Development will provide the position with more relevant oversight and provide for better coordination of services. It will also provide the position incumbent with cross- training opportunities in other areas of this department. The Code Compliance Division will see the elimination of the Student Intern position as the position incumbent moves into the Administrative Coordinator role being vacated by Planner. A new Parking Enforcement Officer position will be created to provide more coverage during our night time hours, the costs of which will be partially offset by increased parking revenues. The Building Services Division will see a significant increase in personnel over the coming months and years. These increases will be synchronized with increases in building activity, and will be paid for in full by the fees generated by the new building activity. You have been provided with an attachment that lays out the incremental staffing increases we foresee based on the incremental increase in large building construction activity. For every two new buildings added, we will move to the next step in the staffing plan. Both full-time and part-time personnel will be added. When this next building boom tapers off, we will reduce staffing incrementally in the same way we increased it to ensure that we maintain the right balance between an adequate level and a surplus in staffing. The only change in the Building Services Division that you are being asked to approve now is the increase of the Chief Plumbing Inspector to full-time. We will come back to you for the other staffing increases called for in the Building Services plan as needs dictate. 3 Department of Public Works - The position of the Director of Public Works/City Engineer is being split up into two positions. It is not possible for one person to adequately perform all of the work currently required of the current position. The new Assistant Director position will provide the Director with professional assistance in managing contractors and capital projects, in addition to managing our front line personnel. This will provide increased accountability for the various work crews in Streets, Facilities, Fleet, Construction and Transportation. This will also free up time for the Director to provide in-house engineering services that will save the City a significant amount of money that it currently spends on outside consulting firms. In May 2012, after the new leadership of the Department of Public Works has been established, the Transportation Division currently located in the Department of Cultural and Human Services (CHS) will be transferred over to the Department of Public Works, a more natural home for this function. The Parks Maintenance (Parks) group in Public Works will be combined with the Parks group at CHS. The new consolidated group will be housed under the umbrella of CHS. Department of Human Resources - The incumbent Assistant to the City Manager/Human Resources (HR) is retiring and the position is being eliminated. A new Director of Organizational DevelopmentlHR is being created. This position will serve as a strategic HR partner for the City Manager and will focus on organizational development, which is a body of knowledge and practice that enhances organizational performance and individual development. This includes organizational strategies, structures and processes for improving the effectiveness of the organization, as well as leadership development, change management, performance management and coaching to name a few. Department of Finance - Two new positions are being created in this department; Buyer and Senior Accountant. The Buyer will primarily work with the Purchasing Agent, helping to speed up the procurement process. A standardization of effort in this area and increased oversight of contracts has already yielded hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual savings, but has resulted in a slower turn-around time of the purchases and contract signings of other City departments. The additional assistance in this area will practically pay for itself by allowing the Purchasing Agent to spend more time finding the City savings in its purchases and contracts. The Senior Accountant position will help alleviate the ongoing work overload being experienced by both the City Controller and the Director of Finance. The Director will shift several new responsibilities to the Controller, who in turn will shift many responsibilities to the Senior Accountant. The Director will take on the new responsibility of overseeing the City's Risk Management program (currently housed in HR), which includes most of the City's insurance portfolio except for health insurance. Police Department - The Ocean Rescue Division of CHS is being transferred to the Police Department. This brings under one roof all of the public safety activities of the 4 city. It provides the most natural home for this division in the absence of a City-run Fire Department. It will also improve coordination and communications between Ocean Rescue and the Marine Patrol Officer, Beach Patrol Officers and other members of the Police Department. The Operations Division will be split with the formation of a new Special Operations Division headed by the current Lieutenant of Operations. This new division will house all special operations outside of the road patrol, including the Motors Unit, the Detective Bureau, the Marine Patrol, the Ocean Rescue Division, the enlarged Special Enforcement Unit (SEU) and the new Community Policing Unit. The existing Sergeant of Investigations position will oversee both the Detective Bureau and the new Special Enforcement Unit, while a new Sergeant of Special Operations position (internal transfer) will oversee everything else. The addition of one new position in the Motors unit (which restores it to its former staffing levels) is being driven by the increased construction activity and the increased traffic we will be experiencing as a result of both the construction itself and the population/vehicle increases we will see after the construction. Motorcycles are invaluable when there are bottlenecks and traffic jams, allowing officers to get to and navigate places that patrol cars cannot. It also allows us to better enforce some important traffic laws, including excessive speed, failure to yield, and failure to yield for pedestrians. Three factors are driving the creation of the new Community Policing unit and expansion of the SEU; 1) cutbacks in critical units from neighboring law enforcement agencies due to the economy, 2) noticeable increases in gang related crimes and relocation of nationally recognized gang members to the South Florida area, and 3) an uptick in the minor crimes activity of our own population as our demographics change towards a more juvenile and young adult oriented population in our city. The Community Policing unit will be comprised of four officers who will spend most of their time on bicycles. Community policing, which the Chief considers as both a highly effective and necessary type of policing for our community today, is a philosophy which supports the systematic use of partnerships and problem-solving techniques to proactively address the immediate conditions that give rise to public safety issues such as crime, social disorder, and fear of crime. It is based on collaborative partnerships between the police and individuals and organizations in the community to develop solutions to problems and increase trust in police. The increase in trust results in better cooperation and information sharing between the community and the police, which is particularly hard to develop with some of our immigrant populations that could not trust their home country police agencies. The unit will have a day and night shift and will work on developing closer relationships with community residents and business owners. It will also serve as our parks patrol and special events security, and provide a better way for us to enforce bicycle safety in the City. 5 The Special Enforcement Unit was first created earlier this year in anticipation of increases in street crimes and has already scored several important successes. It focuses on lower level drug crimes in our City that state and federal agencies do not have resources to devote to, as well as gang-related activities. It also provides park patrol security during peak hours and at special events. Up until now the unit has relied on borrowing officers from the patrol unit, but this is not sustainable. The two new positions in this unit (one new hire, one internal transfer) will provide stability for the unit and the ability to engage in more complex and protracted investigations. Department of Cultural and Community Services (eCS) - Formerly known as CHS, this department is seeing the most change. In March 2012, Ocean Rescue will move to the Police Department. In May 2012, Transportation will move to the Department of Public Works. This will leave a department that is better focused on its core mission of providing a variety of cultural, recreational and other services to the community and communicating those services to our residents, visitors and others. A new position of Administrative Assistant will be added. It will provide direct support to the Director of CCS and will also support the Assistant Director. A new part-time position of Special Events Assistant will be added. This new position will assist the Special Events Coordinator and will alleviate some of the special events workload of the Director and Assistant Director. The Parks Patrol positions will be eliminated. As mentioned earlier, this will be picked up by the new Community Policing Unit. A new Communications Division will be created at CCS. All of the City's external communication efforts will be consolidated under a new Outreach Coordinator. This new position will oversee the staff in this division, serve as the City's Public Information Officer/Spokesperson, coordinate marketing with Special Events and other City activities and write copy for the newspaper, web site and TV/Radio shows. This position will also coordinate with both the City's graphics design/branding consultant and our Tourism and Marketing Council, and oversee activities at the Visitor's Center. The Video and Radio Production Specialist will move to this division from IT and will work more closely with the other communication practitioners. A new combined Web and Social MediaNideo and Radio Assistant position will be created. This will allow the City to move and maintain its web site in-house, resulting in a much more robust and flexible information source for residents, visitors and others. This new position will also improve the City's cyberspace presence, providing other ways for residents to both access information and share it with the city. A good example of the latter is a mobile phone application (app) that allows residents to take pictures of problems they see in the city and send them to us (along with the GPS coordinates) so that we can respond appropriately. This new position will also provide much needed support to the Video and Radio Production Specialist and help him to improve the quality and quantity of programming offerings for our television, radio and internet presence. 6 As mentioned earlier, the Parks Maintenance (Parks) group in Public Works will be combined with the Parks group at CCS. The new consolidated group will be housed under the umbrella of CCS. This consolidated group will have a new full-time Parks and Recreation Manager and two new Working Supervisors (promotions). The Parks and Recreation Manager will conduct daily inspections of all city parks and provide daily checklists for the Working Supervisors. This position will also coordinate efforts of the Parks group with other CCS personnel for special events, coordinate efforts between the Parks group and the Public Works whenever additional skills are needed, and provide oversight and guidance to the Working Supervisors. The Parks and Recreation Manager will also oversee the Athletics Coordinator who oversees our team sports programs. The new Parks Working Supervisors will each manage a crew of three and each crew will maintain three parks. As more parks come on line in the future, we will determine if we need to either increase crew size or add a third crew. The consolidation of the Parks crews will allow us to cross-train all of the Parks staff and respond better to all of our ongoing parks maintenance needs. Not yet - The recommendations above do not include some things that will likely be needed in the future, but in the interest of both not increasing costs too quickly and being able to first assess the impact of the above recommendations before making other changes, these additional ideas will be put on hold. The most obvious change would be the transfer of the consolidated Parks group to Public Works. This is the more natural home for this function. Once the new management team is on board and the culture of the Department of Public Works becomes more customer-facing so to speak, this is a move that will be brought back for discussion with the Commission. Another change would be the addition of another Construction crew with the increased capability of taking on larger projects, including road and sidewalk repair and larger construction projects. Another future change would consolidate all of the City's front desk personnel under one roof as newly cross-trained Customer Service Representatives that support PCP, City Hall main reception, City Hall 4th floor reception and the Visitors Center. And if the quantity and complexity of the City's cultural and special events offerings continues to increase, more assistance will also be needed in this area. 7 <0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 s s s s s 00 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 00 0 CO CD .....
