Explanation: Public Works and Human Resources have reviewed staffing needs of the Park Maintenance Section and believe some of the work can be accomplished with lower experience and skill level requirements. As such, new job descriptions have been created to complete the work in the most efficient and cost effective manner. Public Works and Human Resources have worked cooperatively with AFSCME and negotiated over the pay grades. This requested action will add job descriptions for
Laborer-Park Maintenance (AFSCME pay grade 9) and Groundskeeper-Park Maintenance (AFSCME pay grade 4) to Appendix 1 of the Code of Ordinances. Additional documentation attached.
