BOARD/C0~IMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
DISCUSSIION
Not Applicable
When a vacancy occurs in any position in the City, the need to recruit to fill that posi-
tion is 'carefully analyzed to determine whether alternative means are available whereby
the dutiees and responsibilities of that vacated position can be reasonably assumed by
other individuals on the staff. Over the last two or three years, a number of Middle
Managemeht positions have not been filled when vacancies occur. Our analysis of the
position', of Recreation Superintendent, while important, has led us to conclude at this
time than the level of service provided in the Parks & Recreation Department will not be
jeopardi ed if this position is not filled.
This cha ge is possible because of the two well-qualified long tenured Senior Recreation
Supervis rs who are available to assume most of the work previously performed by the
Superint ndent. These two individuals will report directly to the Parks & Recreation
Director,. In recognition of the increased responsibilities of the Senior Recreation
Supervisors, a salary range increase of 5% is proposed. This proposal was discussed
with rep'esentatives of Arthur Young & Company, who are conducting the City-wide classifica-
tion and salary study. It was their opinion that the increase is appropriate. If it is
assumed he current salaries for the position are reasonably accurate, it is our opinion that
the cons-~ltant will not find the salary range currently existing for the position of
Senior R creation Supervisor too high and, further, that a 5% increase is warranted in
view of he added responsibilities. If such a findin4 is not made by the consultants,
a recomm ndation for adjustment will be made when the study is completed.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 5% p~y increase can be absorbed in the Parks & Recreation budget from the salary
savin4s hich will be realized by not filling the Recreation Superintenden~,~, sp,: ton.
