HE CITY ATTY CITY MGR. RECOMMENDED ACTION: 2010-149 Adopt Resolution No.establishing new job classifications, modifying current classifications, deleting existing classifications and amending affected salary schedules and the Conflict of Interest Code. ITEM EXPLANATION: A. ORGANIZATIONAL REALIGNMENT The city has made changes to its department structure that will increase efficiency with fewer resources while better serving the changing needs of the community. The new organizational structure was designed to enable the city to adapt as Carlsbad transitions from a growing community to one focused on economic, environmental and community sustainability. The changes come after a year-long effort to evaluate how the city is delivering services to residents and businesses and where opportunities exist to streamline for the future. Key areas of focus included those most affected by the city's increasing maturity, such as community development and planning, and infrastructure development. Environmental management was also a key area given the many new responsibilities and regulatory requirements related to the environment. The updated city structure (shown in Exhibit A) includes five new departments led by city management staff with specific skills and experience in the areas of Community and Economic Development, Housing and Neighborhood Services, Property and Environmental Management, Transportation and Utilities. In addition to the new areas of focus, the new city structure retains several departments with little or no changes. These include: • Finance • Fire • Human Resources • Information Technology • Library and Cultural Arts • Parks and Recreation • Police DEPARTMENT CONTACT: Julie Clark 760-602-2440 iulie.clark@carlsbadca.gov FOR CITY CLERKS USE ONLY. COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED CONTINUED WITHDRAWN AMENDED Xn D nn CONTINUED TO DATE SPECIFIC CONTINUED TO DATE UNKNOWN RETURNED TO STAFF OTHER -SEE MINUTES nnnn Page 2 Several new management classification descriptions were created and others were updated as a result of this organizational realignment effort. It is anticipated that other job classifications will need to be changed in the future to reflect additional changes in job duties. As a result of the work that has taken place to date, staff recommends the following: 1. Establish the following proposed new classifications and delete the obsolete classifications marked with an asterisk (*): Current Classification Assistant City Attorney Deputy Public Works Director * Planning Director * Community Development Director * Media Services Specialist* Housing and Redevelopment Director * Library Director* Recreation Director * Public Works Superintendent Public Works Supervisor Deputy City Engineer Economic Development and Real Estate Manager Special Projects Director * Public Works Director * Proposed Classification Senior Assistant City Attorney City Traffic Engineer City Planner Community and Economic Development Director Community Relations Manager Housing and Neighborhood Services Director Library and Cultural Arts Director Parks and Recreation Director Parks Superintendent Parks/Trees Supervisor Property and Environmental Management Director Municipal Property Manager Transportation Director Utilities Director 2. Modify the classification descriptions for Assistant City Manager, Deputy City Manager and Finance Manager. The classification descriptions for these positions are included in Attachment 2. 3. Amend the Conflict of Interest Code (Attachment 3) to reflect these proposed changes. The City-wide realignment also affected several job classifications that are represented by the Carlsbad City Employees' Association (CCEA). The following changes are recommended as a part of the organization-wide realignment effort: 4. Establish the following proposed new classifications at the listed salary grades on the CCEA salary schedule and delete the obsolete classifications marked with an asterisk (*): Current Classification None Public Works Inspector I * Public Works Inspector II * Proposed Classification Library Media and Graphics Supervisor Inspector I Inspector II Proposed Grade 58 55 70 Page 3 5.

FIRE CLASSIFICATION CHANGE During labor negotiations in 2009, the City and the Carlsbad Firefighters' Association (CFA) met and conferred and agreed to make changes to the qualifications for the position of Fire Captain. As such, the classification description has been revised and staff recommends that the new classification be approved. The proposed changes are administrative in nature and are incorporated into the job classification description included in Attachment 2. FISCAL IMPACT: The job classification changes associated with the organizational realignment will have no fiscal impact and are within the current staffing allocation of the affected departments. Overall, the realignment resulted in the elimination of 12.25 positions with budgetary savings of approximately $1.2 million. The Fire Captain classification change will have no fiscal impact.
