Title
Adopt Resolution #19-036 to Approve Reclassifying a Parks Maintenance Worker to Lead Parks Maintenance Worker
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to ask the City Council to reclassify one current Parks Maintenance Worker to Lead Parks Maintenance Worker. The Parks Lead Maintenance Worker position has been vacant since January 1, 2017 when the former Lead Worker was promoted to Parks Supervisor. At that time, staff indicated the Parks Lead Worker positon would need to be filled at a later date. The reclassification was included as part of the budgeting discussions and is accounted for in the 2019 budget. This reclassification does not require backfilling the Parks Maintenance Worker position.

Reclassifying positions, when needed, serves to retain high performing employees and furthers the City's mission to work together to responsibly grow our community, and to provide quality, cost-effective and efficient government services.
The primary objectives of this position are to assist in providing work direction to Parks Maintenance staff and Seasonal Workers, as well as to perform the duties of a Parks Maintenance Worker. This person will also oversee the duties of the Ice Rink Attendants and the maintenance of the City’s two outdoor ice rinks.
Specifically, the Parks Lead duties will include:
