CITY OF COLTON Agenda Report For Council Meeting of July 21,1998 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVED BY: Henry Garcia, City Manag FROM: Dennis Morris, Human Resource Director SUBJECT: Request for recruitment and ratification of employee appointment to the part-time positions of Facility Monitor (4) and Recreation Leader I (4) in the Community Center Division. DATE: July 9, 1998 BACKGROUND: In the Human/Neighborhood Services Department, there is an immediate need for 8 part-time Facility Monitor positions, with only four (4) filled at this time. Also, there is a need for 8 part- time Recreation Leader positions, with only five (5) filled at this time. Attached are the job descriptions for the classifications; the salary is $5.50 per hour for Facility Monitor and $5.15 per hour for Recreation Leader I. State Law mandates that the City provide an employee to supervise a maximum of 20 children. The three (3) centers receive from 100 to 200 children on a daily basis. In response to state law (based on situation stated below), recruitment was conducted and two Recreation Leaders were hired temporarily until Council could ratify the appointments on a permanent basis. On the first day of the busy summer season, there were 74 children that signed into the Community Center facility and they were supervised by one (1) Recreation Leader. Although the emergency situation was handled that day without any consequences, an advertisement was immediately submitted and the first two fully qualified candidates to submit their applications, were hired. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Filling these positions will not interfere with the current proposals being presented to the City Council regarding contracting out certain recreation programs. They are only being filled to meet requirements for state regulations and that proper care is given to our children. Recruitment for said positions were conducted prior to the Council meeting to expedite the process and to ensure that there is proper staffing for the busy summer season. The candidates chosen will meet the education and experience requirements as specified in the job description. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funding availability for this, in the fiscal year 1998-99 is as follows: Account No. 100-6200- 6202-1010 (salary) and Account No. 100-6200-6202-1100 (salary related benefits).
