SUBJECT: Consider Job Description for Public Works
Technician
In 1990 -91, the City formally established the position of
Public Works Director and set a course to create a Department
of Public Works. The 1991 -92 Public Works Department Budget
included a departmental secretary position and Public Works
Technician position. The Public Works Technician will be
responsible for providing general administrative support to
the Director and for the crossing guard program, fleet
maintenance, contract administration for routine maintenance
items such as street sweeping, pavement marking, tree
trimming and removal, and for development and maintenance of
street - related inventories. When this position is filled,
the Director will assume primary responsibility for
administering the City Engineer Agreement and have more time
for capital improvement projects and general. management and
administration of the Department
As indicated, a Public Works Technician position was included
in the 1991 -92 approved budget. The bi- weekly salary range
is to be the same as the Maintenance and Operations
Supervisor which is $1,173.74 to $1,426.69 bi- weekly. This
position's salary range was inadvertently not included in the
Council - approved Salary Resolution. In a companion item,
Resolution No. 91 -776 will be amended to include the salary
range for the Public Works Techr cian classification.
A formal job description has not been previously considered
by the City Council. It is recommended that the attached job
description be approved by the C(.uncil. With this approval,
the recruitment and selection pr cep >s will begin. We expect
to be able to f ill this posit i cin °)c lat,- r than January 1992.
