Report from City Manager on Program Reassignments
within City Departments
The vacancy of the Director of Community Services position has
provided the City with an opportunity to evaluate reorganization
of certain City programs. While most of the focus of the
Community Services Department has been on parks and recreation,
it has always included other functional programs. At one time,
it even included much of what is now managed in the Public Works
Department. The Community Services Department presently includes
cable TV government channel programming, facilities and building
maintenance and security, and landscaped parkways and median
maintenance, in addition to parks and recreation.
As the Council is aware, I appointed Mary Lindley as the Director
of Community Services effective July 5, 1997. Mary Lindley has
been the City's Assistant to the City Manager since July 1991 and
has been the Interim Director of Community Services since January
1997. I have determined to reassign the City's solid waste and
transit programs from the City Manager's office to the Community
Services Department. The Management Analyst for Solid Waste
currently assigned to the City Manager's Office will also be
reassigned.
With recent actions involving the County's Library Services
Agency, the City will have an expanded role in operations of the
library system and the Moorpark Library. This staff
responsibility is being assigned to the Director of Community
Services. The City Manager will continue to participate on the
Library Technical Committee as needed. To accommodate the
addition of these programs, I am reassigning responsibility for
cable TV and government channel programming to the Administrative
Services Department. This includes the contract with Video Max,
character generator management, and equipment maintenance. This
assignment will be reevaluated once an Assistant to the City
Manager appointment is made.
The aforementioned reorganization provides the opportunity to
consolidate and expand efforts in the areas of public information

as well as customer service. The position should have more time
to dedicate to these duties. The Assistant to the City Manager
position will also retain responsibility for the City's
legislative program, emergency management, coordination of
intergovernmental relations, City goal setting, and special
projects.
STAFF RECOirMNDATION:
