Lomita City Council
October 17, 2023

1 TO: City Council
FROM: Ryan Smoot, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Lina Hernandez, Senior Management Analyst
MEETING DATE: October 17, 2023
SUBJECT: Discussion and Consideration to Adopt a Resolution Approving Various Personnel Actions and Approving Classification
Specifications

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2023-22 establishing a revised list of full-time positions with corresponding salary schedule and make the necessary budget adjustments; and

2. Approve the attached Classification Specifications.

BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Lomita regularly and proactively reviews its organizational structure to ensure that the City’s resources are adequately able to meet the needs of the community and the goals of the City Council. In addition to the ever-changing needs of the community, over recent years the city has made significant efforts to address challenges related to attrition through retirements, employee turnover, difficulty in recruiting, use of contractors to provide necessary services, budgetary constraints, and other factors.

Goals and Challenges
During the most recent City Council Goal Setting Session, departments reported their efforts and accomplishments while also identifying inadequate staff availability as a major challenge and highlighting the importance of and need for succession planning, opportunities for internal career advancement, and sufficient staffing to cross train and manage the growing workload.

As an example, within the last five years, the number of active Capital Improvement Projects within the Public Works Departments has increased from 2-3 annual projects to 15-20. At the same time the Council has asked the Recreation Division to increase the Item No. SCH 8b

CITY OF LOMITA

CITY COUNCIL REPORT
2 recreation programming and add/extend special events, such as a second day to the Founders Day celebrations and upcoming events associated with the 60th anniversary celebrations (including the potential for a 5k/10k run, parade, and car show). In general, the City’s departments have been handling heavier workloads with less staffing.

Recognizing these challenges, with the approval of the most recent Memoranda of Understanding with the Lomita City Employees Association, the City Council made significant efforts to address them by creating Lead Worker positions in various city divisions, implementing the Citywide Classification and Compensation Plan, and providing for training and certification opportunities for our employees (policies to implement the Certification requirements will be forthcoming for consideration and approval by the City Council). The proposed organizational adjustments are a continuation of these efforts.

In order to continue to meet City Council’s goals and objectives within expected time frames and continue the efforts described above, at their meeting on September 18, 2023 the Finance Ad Hoc Committee was presented with the proposed approach to restructure various aspects of the organization. The recommendation was that these actions be brought to the full City Council for consideration and approval.

Summary of Proposed Changes
The following changes are being proposed for approval by the City Council in one action but will be phased in over the next six months based on organizational needs, succession planning and anticipated retirement. If approved, City staff will return to the Council with any necessary amendments to MOUs and Personnel resolutions once the meet and confer process is complete.
• Reassignment of the Management Assistant into the City Manager’s Department (Currently split between City Manager and Community and Economic Development Departments)
It is proposed to move the position wholly under the City Manager’s office to focus on public outreach and community engagement and serve as a primary contact for all City staff related to outreach efforts. This position will also manage the new communications agreement with Tripepi Smith and perform other duties within the department. There is no additional cost associated with this action as this position is currently approved.
• Replacement of Code Enforcement Contract with In-House Code Enforcement Officer and Proposed New Code Enforcement Supervisor Position
Currently there is one in-house Code Enforcement Officer II position supplemented by a contract serve provider. The contract is set to expire at the end of this year.

To maintain service levels and improve coordination, it is proposed to not renew the contract and instead create an in-house Code Enforcement Officer I position. 3 Historically there has been high turnover with the single in-house Code Enforcement position. To retain talent and provide career growth within the organization, a Code Enforcement Supervisor position is recommended. This change would also allow these responsibilities to be handled by the division instead of the Community and Economic Development Director. • Reclassification of Maintenance Worker, Water Treatment Operator, and Water Service Tech II positions to Maintenance Worker Lead, Water Distribution Lead, and Water Treatment Lead
To provide common growth opportunities across divisions and maintain consistency among our crews while also assisting with recruitment and retention efforts, it is proposed to reclassify one Maintenance Worker position, one Treatment Plant Operator position, and one Water Service Tech II position to Lead positions similar to those created within other Public Works crews. The Water Service Tech II position has been vacant since July 2022 despite numerous recruitment attempts.
• Re-establish the Parks and Recreation Director Position Approximately 5 years ago, in an effort to provide some needed budgetary relief and based on the City’s needs at the time, the Parks and Recreation Director Position was eliminated, and the duties of the position were split between the Recreation and Facilities Manager, the Recreation Manager, and the City Manager. To provide appropriate focus for the Department and account for the increased number of special events, programs, sports and other services provided by the department, it is proposed to bring back the Director position and remove the direct day to day oversight role from the City Manager. • Reassignment of the Facilities Division from Parks and Recreation to the Public Works Department with Proposed New Facilities Supervisor Position When the Parks and Recreation Director position was eliminated, it was replaced with the Recreation and Facilities Services Manager. Should the proposed director position be approved and anticipating planned retirements, it is recommended to move the facilities division to the Public Works Department with a Facilities Supervisor position consistent with the other crews.
• Re-establish the Recreation Coordinator Position
This position was previously eliminated as a measure to provide short term cost savings. While the cost savings were necessary and beneficial at that time, the elimination of the position has resulted disconnect between the part-time Recreation Coordinator positions and Full Time Recreation Supervisor positions within the Recreation Division and also eliminated a common path for growth within 4 the organization. To retain talent, provide positive career growth and provide additional support for upcoming special events and programs, a full-time, nonsupervisory Recreation Coordinator position is recommended. • Re-establish the Recreation Supervisor position
The Recreation Supervisor position is another position that was previously eliminated to achieve cost savings. As the City’s financial condition has improved, and with the increase desire for special events and programs, it is recommended that the City reinstate a second Recreation Supervisor position. This would also provide opportunities for career growth within the Department and assist with retention of talented employees.

Management staff met with the Lomita City Employees Association (LCEA) on October 6, 2023 to review the proposed Citywide reorganization and discuss impacts to the LCEA members. The proposed changes are subject to finalizing the meet and confer process with the LCEA.

Should the City Council approve the recommendations, the City’s management team will phase in the changes based on City needs, anticipated staffing changes, and succession planning. Some of the changes will be effective for the remainder of the FY 23-24 and will also be incorporated into the FY 24-26 budget, and others will be rolled into forthcoming budget planning process.

OPTIONS:
1) Approve staff’s recommendation.
2) Provide staff alternative direction.

FISCAL IMPACT
Many of the proposed changes are either reassignment or reclassification of existing positions which can produce savings in some cases and have additional costs in others.

In total, the changes incorporate three new positions and multiple adjusted positions. The net cost of these changes is approximately $290,000 annually (in phases) inclusive of salaries, benefits and other costs. Many of these positions are partially funded through the General Fund and partial through other funds. Sufficient funding is available in the relevant funds for this purpose.
