SUMMARY The City Council is being asked to approve the addition of a Management Assistant position to the Community Services Department. The position would replace the existing part -time intern position. Additionally, the Council is asked to adopt a budget resolution appropriating $11,300 to support the new position. DISCUSSION Since about 1991, the Community Services Department has had a part - time intern position. Currently, the position is assigned to work thirty hours per week. Under the supervision of the Community Services Senior Management Analyst, this position assists with the implementation of solid waste and recycling programs, Moorpark City Transit, and the paratransit service. Over the intervening years, each of the above City services has grown with the City. Additionally, within the past three years, the Senior Management Analyst in Community Services has been tasked with responsibility for Animal Regulation and Mosquito and Vector Control. There has also been a consistent stream of special projects in these, and in the other divisions of Community Services (Parks, Recreation, Senior Center, Facilities, transit, etc.) that staff is challenged to complete in addition to the day -to -day tasks association with the Department. Honorable City Council CC Meeting of October 16, 2002 Page 2 If approved, the part -time intern position (Salary Range 30) would e upgraded to a full time Management Assistant position at Salary Range 46 and be a Competitive Service position. This is an entry - level professional position. The Management Assistant would be able to perform at a higher level than the intern, relieving some of the workload of the Senior Management Analyst and the Department Director. The approximate difference in annual salary and benefits is $30,000. It is proposed that funding for this would come from AB 939 fees, TDA, and annual grants from the state. For Fiscal Year 2002 -2003, an additional appropriation of $11,300 is necessary to fund this position from January to the end of the Fiscal Year. Staff proposes using a portion of the fund balance from the AB 939 Special Revenue Fund 5001 for 90% of the cost and TDA 8c Transit for remainder of the staff expense. This is the same funding split for the current part -time position. Historically, the City AB 939 spending has been less than the annual revenue. The FY 01/02 yearend fund balance for the AB 939 Special Revenue Fund 5001 was $765,057 as of June 30. Please see the table below for a quick four -year view of the AB 939 Special Revenue Fund revenue, expenditure, and fund balances. Only AB 939 - related revenue and expenditures are shown. The Solid Waste budget also receives annual Used Oil Grants ($8,000 - $14,000), and Beverage Container and Litter Reduction Grants ($8,000 - $10,000) each year. Each grant also has associated expenses. In the current year budget, the AB 939 portion of the fund dips into fund balance for about $2,000 to meet total expenditures. This is a result of the expenditure of $40,000 over a two -year period to fund the waste diversion study approved by the City Council in 2000. When the other revenue sources and their expenditures are added in, the fund as whole is projected to have a $20,382 surplus this year, which will again increase the fund balance.

As indicated, in recent years the volume of calls and general work activity has associated with solid waste, transit, animal and vector control divisions has increased. At the same time, capital projects such as park improvements, facility maintenance, and the Metrolink Station landscaping projects have placed additional demands upon the department. Staff requests the upgrade of the current position with the expectation that it will help provide improved service to the community in the delivery of these services. In other words, the additional full -time person should help the department accomplish its overall regular duties as well as helping to completion those many non - recurring special projects in a timelier manner. The Council is being asked to consider a budget amendment increasing the appropriation for AB 939 and TDA Salaries and Benefits by $11,300, and transferring the remaining AB 939 and TDA part -time salaries and benefits for the full time line item. It is proposed that the Community Services Management Assistant be at the Range 46 in the City's Salary Schedule. This is considered appropriate compensation for the education and experience required for the position. If this action is approved, staff will return to the Council with appropriate amendments to the Salary Plan and Classification Plan. STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE) Approve the addition of a Management Assistant position (Range 46) in the Community Services Department, and Adopt Resolution No. 2002- , amending the Fiscal Year 2002/2003 Solid Waste Budget.
