L. Renaming and Reorganization of the Public Works Department Introduction: Consideration for the approval of renaming of the Public Works Department to the Public Works and Utilities Department, and reorganization of its Administration, Engineering, and Stormwater Divisions is requested. Discussion: To better communicate the broad and diverse nature of the Public Works Department, of which the Water/Sewer Utility is a major component, staff is recommending the Department be renamed the Public Works and Utilities Department. Further, especially as the Department anticipates undergoing a transition in leadership in the coming months, staff is recommending changes to five (5) key positions in the Department to better communicate roles, align key functions with expertise, and provide for improved efficiency, effectiveness, and resiliency with the Department. The following is a summary of the proposed changes: 1. Stormwater Division: Replace the Deputy Public Works Director/City Er,ginppr• rnncitinn (Pay Grade 217) with a new Public Works Divisions Director position (Pay Grade 217). 2. Engineering Division: Replace the Assistant City Engineer position (Pay Grade 209) with a new City Engineer position (Pay Grade 213). 3. Administration Division: Retitle the Public Works Director position (Pay Grade 304) to the Public Works & Utilities Director (Pay Grade 304). 4. Administration Division: Retitle the Assistant Public Works Director/Utility Manager position (Pay Grade 217) to the Utility Divisions Director (Pay Grade 217). 5. Administration Division: Replace the Management Analyst position (Pay Grade 138) with a new Public Works & Utilities Business Analyst position (Pay Grade 143). Budget Impact: There is no immediate Fiscal Year 2022 budget impact associated with this item, as sufficient finding is available within the personal services accounts of the Administration, Engineering, and Stormwater Divisions to cover anticipated additional costs associated with this item in the near term. However, City staff will monitor expenditures as transitions take place and address budget concerns in the future if the need arises. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Public Works Director recommended approval of the renaming of the Public Works Department to the Public Works and Utilities Department and reorganization of its Administration, Engineering, and Stormwater Divisions.
