BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
The Parks, Beaches and Recreation (PB&R) Department consists of Child Care, Recreation and Senior Services divisions. The current Recreation Specialist position serves in an administrative support role for all divisions within the department. The Child Care Technician position has served specifically as administrative support to the Child Care division. With the recent retirement of the long-term Child Care Technician, there is an opportunity for PB&R and Human Resources (HR) to re-evaluate the business needs of the department regarding this position.
Based on this evaluation, the City Manager is recommending reclassifying the Child Care Technician position to Recreation Specialist, giving the department a total of two, and updating the job description (attached). This would strengthen the PB&R Department’s administration by increasing efficiencies, providing additional support to the Director, allowing for cross-training of staff, and offer additional support to all divisions within the department.
Staff believes that this reclassification would result in a more qualified and available applicant pool and better meet the needs of the department.
Department Director Perez and Human Resources Manager Camarena had the opportunity to meet and confer with Teamsters Local 856 to answer any questions and provide clarification.
The union and the incumbent have reviewed and accepted the proposed changes to the job description.
