RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission approve the new classification specification and recruitment bulletin for Recreation and Community Services Coordinator.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (Department) is comprised of four divisions: Administration, Parks, Recreation, and Senior and Social Services.
Historically, there have been two distinct classification specifications (Recreation Coordinator and Senior and Social Services Specialist) that oversee programming activities for the Department. Each is specialized and focused on specific client demographics and program needs. The Recreation Coordinator classification oversees recreation-related activities while the Senior and Social Services Specialist classification oversees programs for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director recently assessed the needs of the department and determined that operations would be greatly enhanced by combining the two aforementioned classifications under a new job classification: Recreation and Community Services Coordinator. This would allow the Department to maximize resources and better meet the needs of customers and the operations.
As stated, the proposed classification specification is a combination of the two above mentioned classification specifications. It was determined that by consolidating the two classification specifications and creating one, there would be more flexibility in staffing, and employees would have the opportunity to learn different areas within the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. Exposing employees to the various programs prepares them for promotional opportunities and also better positions the department to address vacancies as they occur.
The recruitment bulletin is reflective of the new classification specification. The weight of the examination components are being proposed for consistency with other classifications throughout the City and classifications within the Department.
Bargaining Unit Representation
The Culver City Employees Association (CCEA) has been provided copies of the proposed classification specification and recruitment bulletin for Recreation and Community Services Coordinator.
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the proposed classification specification.
