Authorization to Ratify 2025 Budgeted Personnel Items

The purpose of this case is to ratify the changes that were included within the 2025 approved budget.   The positions include reclassifying a full-time Community Service Officer to a Lead Community Service Officer and increasing a part-time Planning Division Administrative Assistant to full-time.   

The Lead Community Service Officer (non-sworn position) will provide training and instruction to the City's three part-time student Community Service Officers.   There is high turnover in part-time positions, so the training and instruction which is provided by the Lead Community Service Officer will be ongoing.

The part-time Planning Division Administrative Assistant is currently working 25 hours per week.  The work load for this position has increased significantly.  Full-time hours (forty hours per week) will allow the Administrative Assistant to focus on file management/record retention, assist with the recycling program, maintain website updates, process planning escrows, administer the Water Efficiency Grant program, manage databases and receive and manage applications.

The funding required for these actions is included in the approved 2025 budget.
