Utilities Specialist Over the last few years Cal-OSHA and the Department of Health Services have established legal requirements that impact the necessary minimum qualifications for several Public Works Services classifications for the City of Redwood City. These new requirements require State certification in the areas of water distribution and crane operations. In order to be in compliance with new State regulations, the City has included these requirements in the amended job descriptions. The City and the Union representing these classifications, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), worked together to provide incentives for current employees to obtain the required certifications. Council has previously approved these incentives. The final stage in adopting these new state required certifications is to include them as requirements in the descriptions. Amended job descriptions are included in Exhibit A. The certification requirements appear in bold print. Fiscal Impact: There is no fiscal impact. Incentive pay for employees to obtain these certifications was previously approved by Council and paid to eligible employees. B. New Classifications 1. Current: Public Works Superintendent Proposed: Fleet Manager Public Works Operations Leader Fleet Supervisor The Equipment Services Division of Public Works Services has traditionally had a structure of a Superintendent as the Division Manager with direct reports of an Operations Leader, Secretary and a Lead Equipment Mechanic. In July of 2006 the Superintendent was promoted to Public Works Services Director and determined that a different organizational structure would improve operations by increasing efficiency, developing greater accountability and optimizing learning opportunities within the Equipment Services division. In addition, such a restructure would result in a salary savings. The proposed new structure would replace the Superintendent position with a Fleet Manager, who would report to the Public Works Services Director. The Operations Leader would be replaced with a Fleet Supervisor, who would report to the Fleet Manager and supervise the 8 fleet employees. The tasks of the Fleet Supervisor would concentrate primarily on running the day-to-day operations of the shop while the Fleet Manager would oversee the entire divisional operations, including regulations, budget and writing new vehicle specifications. Job descriptions for these new classifications are provided in Exhibit A. Fiscal Impact: The change in structure would result in a maximum salary and salary related benefits costs savings of $10,437.84 annually. 2.
