SUMMARY:

Over the ast 5 years, Lathrop' s population has grown significantly. On May 2, 2022, the California Department of Finance issued a press release, reporting Lathrop' s population of 31, 331, effective ) anuary 1, 2022; a 6. 6% change from 2021. This makes Lathrop the fastest growing City in the State of California. With this growth, it has become apparent that there is a need for further staff support with the existing and expanding Special Events in the Recreation Division, and with the growth in population, resulting in more traffic, there will be more needs from the Streets and Maintenance. In review of the Maintenance Services Supervisor job description an update was made in the Distinguishing Characteristics. The update includes removing the Utility and Streets Maintenance Superintendent title and replacing with Streets and Maintenance Manager.

BACKGROUND:

The Recreation Division of the City of Lathrop Parks, Recreation, and Maintenance Services Departments hosts over 25 annual Special Events throughout the year. Each event takes months of planning and organization, with the goal of making the best possible events for the Citizens of Lathrop in mind. This reclassification will also affect the Youth Development Teens with their day-to- day events and monthly Special Events. The Streets and Maintenance Division of the Parks, Recreation, and Maintenance Services Department is continually maintaining and repairing streets, roads, sidewalks, street signs, street lights, drain inlets, and all other aspects of Streets and Maintenance within the growing City, the continual expansion will now require a Supervisor as we have much more need in projects as well as daily supervision for the Streets and Maintenance Division.
