Subject: Submitted By: '—
Request for Authorization to Establish Eligibility List
for Position of Principal Civil Engineer. P117D/CE
Statement of the Mattee
DT'"'USSION- The workload of the Engineering Division has been increasing
continc Lly over the past year. Personnel support to process developmental
planning and applications necessitated reorganization of the .5ivision during
this period. This internal redistribution of work, plus revised direction of
emphasis on allocation of staff time, has allowed us to keep pace with develop-
ment until most recently, although some strictly city work has suffered. The
workload has now increased to a point where we can no longer provide adequate
engineering services for both city projects and planned development with exist-
ing staff personnel.
The engineering planning required for impending development in undeveloped
areas of tovm plus the workload involved in processing the formal cevel,opmental
requests expected, urgently necessitates an additional experienced professional
engineer. This engineer will assist the City Engineer with the day to day re-
tails of the engineering division and will allow the latter to devote sufficient
time to the overall engineering planning for future development and public works
facilities, and to the efficient operation of the five divisions of the Public
Works Dept. He must be experienced in .all phases of the operation of a munici-
pal engineering department. His addition will allow time to be spent by other
staff members on City projects, assessment districts formation, training, inter-
agency coordination and general public assistance which must now be neglected
and will permit the performance of work on a rational, rather than a crash basis.
The Engineering fees charged for the review of Developmental plans will be
used to support this position. Developers have recently suggested that they
would support an increase if necessary to obtain more personnel. Such a raise
is being studied and a recommendation regarding Council action will be submitted
when aul-horization to hire is requested. -
Advertisement will begin -immediately upon approval. The City of E1 Cajon
is currently recruiting for a similar position. we will attempt to obtain in -
from them on prospective candidates.
