TITLE: AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN FOR RECREATION SPECIALIST AND RECREATION SUPERVISOR I ITEM EXPLANATION The Personnel Department, in concurrence with the Parks and Recreation Department, is recommending that the classifications of Recreation Specialist and Recreation Supervisor I be revised. Staff believes that the educational requirements for these positions need to be updated. Staff recently reviewed the Recreation Department's classification plan beginning with part-time Recreation Leader and continuing through Recreation Supervisor 11. It is recommended that the educational requirements for Recreation Specialist and Recreation Supervisor I be revised in order to form a more clearly defined career path. The intention is to create a career series by requiring that a certain level of education be obtained before advancing up the career ladder. The agencies in San Diego County were surveyed on educational requirements for Recreation Supervisor I. Of the ten agencies in the County who have comparable classifications, eight require a Bachelor's degree. Revising the educational requirements for Recreation Specialist and Recreation Supervisor I will enable the Personnel Department to become more effective in recruiting and screening the most qualified individuals. The amendments to the classifications are as follows: 1. The Recreation Specialist will require an Associate of Arts degree or equi val ent . 2. The Recreation Supervisor I will require a Bachelor's degree or equivalent. FISCAL IMPACT None. EXHIBITS 1.
