Motion carried unanimously by voice vote 3-0. 12. OTHER ITEMS A. Reorganization of the Recreation Division of the Public Works Department and Related Budget Amendment #25-021 Staff Presentation: Public Works Director Dr. Kelly Brock gave an overview of this item which is a request for approval of the reorganization of the Recreation Division of the Public Works Department and related Budget Amendment #25-021. The Recreation Division is responsible for all the programming of the City's parks and related facilities, including recreation, arts, cultural programs and events. Currently the Division consists of seven (7) full time staff and one (1) part time staff member, and seasonal employees are hired to provide additional support. During the planning process for the parks bond referendum it was anticipated that there would be a need for additional operating costs, so that was factored into the planning and over the years operating costs have slowly been added as the new parks have been brought online, and some staff changes have also been slowly phased in. With both Wirz Park and the new Wheel Parks being very close to opening, and activity expected to increase during the summer, a mid -year reorganization of the Division is being brought forward for Commission consideration to assist with full activation of the new facilities. The proposed reorganization both expands the number of staff in the Division and shifts duties between different positions and would bring the Division to twelve (12) full time positions. The proposed reorganization is as follows: 1. Retitle the Recreation Division to the Recreation & Cultural Arts Division. This is for branding purposes, to better communicate the broadness of the division. 2. Retitle the Recreation Manager to the Recreation & Cultural Arts Manager with no pay grade change. This is to match the Manager's title to the new division name. 3. Retitle one Recreation Programs Coordinator to Arts Programs Coordinator with no pay grade change. 4. Retitle one Recreation Specialist to Arts Program Specialist, change from a part-time to a full- time position and increase the pay grade from 19 to 20. 5. Increase the pay grade for the Arts & Marketing Supervisor from 40 to 42. 6. Add the following positions: a. Two full-time Recreation Specialists (pay grade 20). b. One full-time Head Lifeguard (pay grade 20). c. One full-time Recreation, Sports & Aquatics Supervisor (pay grade 42).
