RECOMMENDED CHANGES TO PERSONNEL CLASSIFICATION PLAN
• 5tatement'6f the Matter
To provide for better organizational structure in the'Parks and Recreation
Department the following changes in the Personnel Classification Plan
are recommended.
First, it is recommended that the position of Parks Superintendent be
added to the classification plan. The change will provide"the Parks
and Recreation Director with two deputies of approximately equal status
in both parks'and recreation, although'it is not intended that pay
schedules be identical. It will further provide for a supervisory level
which can function between the director and several -crews... As park
functions expand and each crew requires a foreman the organizational
flexibility will exist. This position would be at the salary range
currently established for Park Foreman. This positi.on at the salary range
has been budgeted for in the Parks and Recreation Budget FY75-76.
The second recommendation is to delete the current description
for the -classification of Park Foreman,,substituting•the.4escription•.-
attached.. This classification would be established at•.Salary Range 32.
This position has.been budgeted 'for in FY75-76 Parks and Recreation Budget
at' Salary Range•.32.

CITY OF CARLSBAD
Department of Personnel
,+ EMORANDUM
DATE : April 20, 1976
TO The City Manager
FROM The Personnel Director
SUBJECT: Proposed Classification Plan Chafes for Parks and
Recreation Department Personnel
The Parks and Recreation Department has two nri,rtry functions.
The recreation function currently is headed by a RECREATION
SUPERINTENDENT. Salary Range 38, and is directly responsible
to the PARKS Ah✓ RECREATION DIRECTOR for all recreation programs.
The parks section of the department currently is headed by a
PARK FOREMAN, Salary Range 36. The parks division of the depart-
ment has zeveral working crews and, consequently, the PARK
FOREMAN is responsible for supervising all of these crews. The
title of PARK FOREMAN is inconsistent with the title of super-
intendent which has been assigned to the recreation division head
within the department. Therefore, it is recommended that the
organizational changes be brought about to develop the position
of PARK SUPERINTENDENT who would be responsible to the department
director for all the functions of the parks division of the
department. A job description entitled PARK SUPERINTENDENT has
been prepared and is attached. It is recommended that this job
description be adopted and implemented into the Classification
and Salary Plan by lity Council action. it is also intended that,
presently, this new classification of PARK SUPERINTENDENT be
retained at Salary Range 36.
The classification and salary plan does contain, currently, a
job description for PARK FOREMAN. But once a PARK SUPERINTENDENT
position is created modifications in the description for PARK FORE-
MAN are a requirement. Accordingly a modified job descrir,:ion
for PARK FOREMAN also has been attached. The essential difference
is that the PARK FOREMAN or park foremen are responsible to the
PARK SUPERINTENDENT for the supervision of various crews in the
parks division of the Parks and Recreation Department.
Both of these changes have been budgeted for in the current PY1975-76
Budget of the Parks and Recreation Department. Consequently,the
adoption of the proposed classification plan changes would not
involve additional funds during this fiscal year. It is recommended
that the attached job descriptions for PARK SUPERINTENDENT and
PARK FOREMAN be forwarded to the City Council and adopted by
so tion and that subsequent changes be reflected in the salary
