6.Q. - Page 2 of 24 ANALYSIS In support of the City Council's strategic initiative of efficient government operations, the Police Department and Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) Department evaluated vacancies in each department and determined that position modifications would increase efficiencies as well as enhance services to the community. Staff identified the need to reinstate and amend the classification of Police Property Clerk, to be retitled Police Evidence and Property Clerk, in the Police Department and to establish the new classification of Parks and Recreation Program Assistant 1/11 in the PRCS Department. Police Evidence and Property Clerk, Police Department: The Evidence and Property section of the Police Department performs a crucial service to public safety by collecting, preserving, storing and transferring crime scene evidence and property, as well as ensuring the safe disposition of materials. The City previously had a Police Property Clerk classification which was deactivated and replaced by the Community Service Officer (CSO) classification in 2004. Up until 2015, the Property Section was staffed by two CSOs who reported to a Police Lieutenant. Since 2015, this section has been staffed with one CSO who has served as property clerk, a part-time non -benefited support position, and one Police Evidence and Property Room Coordinator who has provided dedicated lead day- to-day supervision to the section, as well as provided staff expertise in several areas to reduce the reliance on outside services. With recent vacancies within the Police Department including the Property Section, and in consideration of current needs of the department, staff proposes to reallocate positions within the department and reinstate the Police Property Clerk classification and amend the classification to be retitled Police Evidence and Property Clerk. This non-exempt classification will be included in the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 521. The proposed salary is aligned internally with the Police Clerk classification. The proposed salary is $5,346 to $6,492 monthly. Parks and Recreation Program Assistant 1/11, PRCS Department: With recent vacancies within the PRCS Department, to improve service delivery, and in consideration of current and future needs of the department to support the City's strategic initiative of efficient government operations, staff proposes to reallocate positions within the department and establish the new classification of Parks and Recreation Program Assistant 1/II. This classification will provide both direct support and assistance for users of PRCS facilities, and also provide much needed coordination and administrative support to various departmental staff for programs, activities, trainings, and general community services. This non-exempt classification will be included in the SEIU Local 521. The proposed salary for the Program Assistant I and Program Assistant II classifications are aligned internally, the Program Assistant II classification is 15 percent below Recreation and Community Services Program Coordinator, and the Program Assistant I classification is 10 percent below Program Assistant 11. The proposed salaries are $4,862 to $5,910 monthly for Program Assistant I, and $5,403 to $6,567 monthly for Program Assistant 11. FISCAL IMPACT The combined classification and salary changes noted above will result in an estimated total annual cost increase of $10,500 for salary and salary -related benefits. These costs are included in the Fiscal Year 2019- 20 Recommended Budget. City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore 181
