The Public Work~ Director manages both the <br />Public Works Department and the Fire Department. The proposed change formalizes the <br />Assistant Public Works Director position and provides an additional level of supervision for the <br />Utilities/Parks and Streets Divisions~ In February 2002, Brian Olson, then a City Engineer, was <br />promoted to Principal City Engineer and given responsibility for managing the Engineering <br />Division, with ultimate decision-making authority for the Division remaining with the Public <br />Works Director/Fire Chief. Creating an Assistant Public Works Director position would provide <br />some relief for the Public Works Director and would provide an increase in day-to-day <br />supervision for Utilities/Parks and Streets Divisions. The most significant impact of the <br />proposed reorganization is that it would officially recognize a "second in command" meaning <br />that the Assistant Public Works Director would be in charge of the entire Public Works operation <br />(not just Engineering) in the absence of the Public Works Director. Also, with the recent <br />creation of an additional position in Engineering, capacity will be created for the Principal <br />Engineer (Assistant Public Works Director) to oversee the Public Works function. The Assistant <br />Public Works Director would also closely supervise the functions of the department as they relate <br />to the Town Center Development. If the Council accepts the recommendation for. the <br />reorganization within Public Works, staff recommends that Brian Olson be promoted to Assistant <br />Public Works Director. The creation of an Assistant Public Works Director position would not <br />create an impact to the budget, as Mr. Ols0n's compensation would remain the same. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Kurak, seconded by Councilmember Pearson, to recommend that the <br />City Council authorize the reorganization in the Public Works Department by creating an <br />Assistant Public Works Director position. <br /> <br />-50- <br /> <br />Personnel Committee/June 24, 2003 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
