Consolidated Part -Time Positions Public Resource Director Morris explained that the instant action was to consolidate a number of part-time positions and create one new position as general office support and to provide incentives, for recreation leaders and library pages, by creating longevity and step increases. There was inquiry on how the local students would be given preference. Director Morris described the plan to advertise in local schools. He indicated that the idea was to hire high school students and graduates. He said there would be a limit of 1,000 hours, with savings to be realized by narrowing the need to use temporary agencies. Elaine Craig, SBPEA Representative, asked why the "worker trainee" title did not say "Student Worker Trainee" and wondered why the position incorporated "steps?" Director Morris said the idea was not to supplant full-time work but to afford training and experience to entry-level workers, through cyclical type of work. Finance Director Al Holliman said this concept worked in two other cities he worked in and suggested it was a great alternative to using temporary agencies. Discussion followed on the Department of Rehabilitation workers; summer help; Gain Program workers; Job Corp; local student trainees afforded first priority; the cap on positions; and, full-time positions. MOTION/VOTE: Motion made by CM Sanders, seconded by CM DeLaRosa, to approve Resolution No. R-30-00, to include the assumption that local preference be afforded to the local high school students and graduates. Motion carried upon unanimous vote. ORDINANCE: FIRST READING Imposition of a Construction Tax and Dedication of Land or Payment of In -Lieu Fees for Park and Recreational Purposes Assistant City Manager Daryl Parrish presented overview of the Capital Infrastructure Study that recommended changes to the park development fee ordinances, more particularly, changing the park development fee for small residential projects to be the same as it is for larger residential projects, to make it equitable. Additionally, ACM Parrish said that a change was suggested to recoup 50% of improvement costs for park facilities, based on needs generated by additional development. Discussion followed on the formation of the Master Park Plan and the eligibility for Quimby funds. After brief discussion, City Attorney Carvalho indicated she would research the question on dedicated land and the use of Quimby funds (restricted funds.) MOTION/VOTE: Motion/second by CM DeLaRosa/Cook to waive full reading and pass first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 3.32, Section 3.32.030 of the Colton Municipal Code relating to the imposition of a construction tax and an Ordinance amending Chapter 16.58, Sections 16.58.010, 16.58.040 and 16.58.050 of the Colton Municipal Code relating to the dedication of land or payment of in -lieu fees for park and recreational purposes, ORDINANCES NOS. 0-05-00 AND 0-06-00.
