CITY OF COLTON ITEM #12 AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF September 6. 2005 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members 119 FROM: Bill Smith — Community Services Director SUBJECT: Request Approval for Recruitment and Ratification of Two (2) Employee Appointments to the Position of Recreation Services Coordinator in the Community Services Department, Contingent Upon an Anticipated Upcoming Position Vacancy and Amendment to Resolution R-06-05 to Amend the Compensation Rate for the Position of Recreation Services Coordinator DATE: August 17, 2005 BACKGROUND: Currently, the Community Services Department is anticipating a vacancy in the Recreation Division of a Recreation Services Supervisor. This position is responsible for the supervision of a number of programs and staff members. In anticipation of this vacancy, staff is proposing to split this position into two (2) Recreation Services Coordinator positions. These positions will report directly to the remaining Recreation Services Supervisor, and will provide support for all programs within the Recreation Division. Since this position has not been filled since 2001, it is necessary to amend the salary range of this position in order to be competitive in the recruitment of quality candidates. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: The Recreation Division must be fully -staffed in order to manage the number of programs and staff members under its jurisdiction. Due to an added number of programs and events over the last 2-3 years in Recreation, it is the opinion of staff that splitting the vacant Recreation Services Supervisor position into two (2) Recreation Services Coordinator positions will provide an additional staff member to assist in the additional workload realized by this recent added programming. This proposed organizational structure will also increase efficiency in the Community Services Department, placing the responsibility for all programs in the Recreation Division within the jurisdiction of a single individual, who will have two (2) trained, full-time recreation professionals to assist in day-to-day operations. The "Recreation Coordinator' position is the standard entry-level full-time position in the profession of recreation. Our Human Resources Department has conducted a salary analysis for this position, and the proposed amendment to the compensation rate for the position is consistent with the findings of this analysis. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed Salary Range for the Recreation Services Coordinator Position is $3112-$3783. There would be no impact to the General Fund budget for fiscal year 2005-2006, due to salary savings from the inactive and vacated Recreation Services Supervisor position.
