RESOLUTION NO. XX-XX
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RICHMOND, CALIFORNIA, TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 BUDGET AND POSITION
CONTROL LIST FOR THE PARKS DIVISION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS
DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, on June 29, 2021, City Council adopted Fiscal Year (“FY”) 2021-22 Budget via Resolution 77-21; and
WHEREAS, the Parks’ Division (“Parks”) Administration Budget (01233631-400003) funded the following positions:
• 1 Administrative Aide
• 4.5 Maintenance Lead workers
• 6 Parks Construction Maintenance Workers
• 6 Groundskeeper/Gardeners
• 1 Gardener
• 1 Tree Lead worker
• 1 Equipment Parks Specialist; and
WHEREAS, the Parks Construction Maintenance Worker performs more specialized hardscape work (repairing play structure, irrigation lines, etc.); and
WHEREAS, the Groundskeeper/Gardeners are the individuals who perform the vegetative work (weed abatement, shrub pruning, litter abatement, etc.), which is in high demand and increasingly critical given the prevalence of wildfires in recent years; and
WHEREAS, Parks currently maintains sixty (60) parks and twenty (20) miles of right- of-way in the City; and
WHEREAS, Parks faces a maintenance demand it cannot meet given the substantial number of City parks and the prevalence rights-of-ways; and
WHEREAS, after a review of the needs assessment by the Public Works Director and the Parks’ Division Superintendent, it was determined that Parks does not require or need six (6) Parks Construction Maintenance Workers; and
WHEREAS, there are currently three (3) Parks Construction Maintenance Worker positions that remain vacant; and
WHEREAS, to achieve its goals of maintaining City parks and landscapes for the health, safety, and wellbeing of the City and its residents, Parks requires more Groundskeeper/Gardeners; and
WHEREAS, two (2) of the vacant Parks Construction Maintenance Worker positions can be converted to Groundskeeper/Gardener positions, which are vital to Parks’ function; and
WHEREAS, converting these positions into two for which the Parks has a dire need would also result in a departmental salary savings because the skill set is less technical in nature.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the FY 2021-22 Budget and Position Control List for the Parks Division of the Public Works Department are hereby revised and amended to convert two (2) of the vacant Parks Construction Maintenance Worker positions to two (2) Groundskeeper/Gardener positions.
