Public Works seeks staff reclassifications to address signage and signal needs
Summary
Public Works Director (Director Riggs) asked the council to reclassify an open Parks Caretaker I position to a part-time facilities maintenance technician and to reclassify a Traffic Signal Crew Leader to Traffic Signal Tech, using existing funds; council approved the request and discussed training and maintenance budgeting.
Director Riggs told the council he wants to reclassify a funded Parks Caretaker I vacancy to a part-time Facilities Maintenance Tech and change a Traffic Signal Crew Leader position to Traffic Signal Tech to better reflect operational needs. "We have a huge need to replace signage in our city and this is the crew that does it," Director Riggs said, noting staffing and equipment needs including a bucket truck and that the reclassification will let the department use remaining funds this year.
Councilmembers asked about training and certification costs as roles change; Riggs said he will include education requests in next year's budget. A council member moved to approve the reclassifications "as presented" and the mayor announced the motion passed. Council also discussed the need to budget for maintenance when new capital items are added and urged staff to include expected maintenance costs in future fiscal-year planning.
