RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission approve the new classification specification for Recreation and Community Services Manager.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department (Department) is comprised of four divisions: Administration, Parks, Recreation, and Senior and Social Services. The Department is responsible for providing recreational activities, community and social service programs and events for persons of all ages and abilities.
The Department’s organizational structure reflects two managers: one overseeing parks maintenance and the other overseeing all programs, services and facilities related to senior and social services, aquatics and the Veteran’s Memorial Auditorium (Vet’s). The manager position that previously managed Vet’s and the recreation and aquatic programs was eliminated in 2010, with those duties being absorbed by the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Director and the Senior and Social Services Manager.
In the newly adopted budget for FY 19-20, City Council approved the addition of a Recreation and Community Services Manager. This additional manager position will assist in redistributing and dividing duties amongst the managers. The Recreation and Community Services Manager classification will be responsible for managing and overseeing City-wide recreation, community services, and social services programs and responsibilities will include developing and overseeing program service plans for the Department to meet the goals established by the Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Director, City Manager, and City Council.
As mentioned at the regular Commission meeting in June, the Department is realigning and broadening all of its full time classifications. The Commission has already approved the Recreation and Community Services Coordinator and Recreation and Community Supervisor classifications. By approving the Recreation and Community Services Manager classification the Department’s career ladder will be complete; giving employees a clear path of progression and completing an important part of the Department’s succession plan.
Bargaining Unit Representation
