Title

Adding an Assistant Public Works Director position in the Public Works Department (B)

An Assistant Public Works Director is needed to provide increased managerial oversight associated with the day-to-day operations of the Engineering, Operations, Solid Waste and Traffic Operations Division of the Public Works Department.

Explanation

The Assistant Public Works Director position will handle the majority of the day-to-day operational and coordination activities within the department as well as improved coordination and management of capital projects.  This addition will allow the Public Works Director to focus attention to planning, addressing the more strategic and longer-term issues facing the department and provide continued improvement in department functions and processes.

Fiscal Note

Due to the retirement of the Transportation Services Manager and the deletion of that position, there is no fiscal impact associated with this position.  This reorganization results in no additional FTE's.  In FY2008, this restructuring of Public Works provides savings to the General Fund of approxiately $189,000.

Recommendation

The City Commission approve adding an Assistant Public Works Director, Pay Grade M13, and adding this position to the Occupational Index.
