Approve the Resolution: 1) adopting two new part-time job descriptions of Golf Course Specialist, and Recycling Coordinator; 2) amending the Part Time Employment and Benefits Policy to include salaries for the two new positions; and 3) amending the Position Allocation List to include these positions in the Public Works Department, while also adding two time-limited full time positions in the Community Development Department.

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION

At the November 19, 2019, City Council meeting the City Council approved, among other things, budget adjustments to allow for modifications in staffing to reflect changes in the Public Works Department and the Community Development Department. Specifically, the City Council authorized funding in the Public Works Department for the addition of a part-time Golf Course Specialist in the Parks and Trees Division, and a part-time Recycling Coordinator in the Street Division. The Golf Course Specialist will monitor the City’s contracted golf course operators by providing oversight and inspections of their work to ensure the City’s quality standards are met. The Recycling Coordinator will be overseeing the Organics Recycling Program and coordinating efforts related to State recycling mandates.

At the same time, the City Council approved funding for a full-time Senior Planner position and a full-time Assistant Planner position, both for a time period not to exceed twenty four months. These positions are needed to address upcoming development related issues including Mercury Residential, the Brea Mall expansion, Brea Plaza, and the Downtown Hotel, plus future proposals such as the Downtown Theatre Buildings, the former Improv, Mercury Village, and a potential expansion of Macy’s.

FISCAL IMPACT/SUMMARY

There is no fiscal impact associated with approving the resolution since the necessary funding was approved by the City Council at the time of the budget adjustments considered on November 19, 2019.

Based on the November 19, 2019, City Council adoption of budget adjustments authorizing two part-time and two twenty four month time-limited full-time positions, it is recommended the City Council approve the resolution: 1) adopting two new job descriptions of Golf Course Specialist, and Recycling Coordinator; 2) amending the Part Time Employment and Benefits Policy to include salaries for the two new positions; and 3) amending the Position Allocation List to include these positions in the Public Works Department, while also adding two time-limited full-time positions in the Community Development Department.
