three-year mark is nearing an end, and Staff proposes a final restructuring, effective January 1, 2026. More <br /> information regarding this will be discussed at the meeting and through the 2026 budget discussions. In <br /> summary, staff recommends the restructure to include the following changes: <br /> 1. Eliminate the dual role of Public Works Director/City Engineer and create a Public Works Director position <br /> to serve as department head over Public Works. This adds .5 FTE to the Public Works Department. <br /> 2. Re-establish City Engineer to serve as department head over Engineering. This adds .5 FTE to the <br /> Engineering Department. <br /> 3. Maintain three support positions to the City Engineer to complete office related tasks like plan design, <br /> reporting requirements,plan review and general customer service. This may include some position title <br /> changes/reclassifications. <br /> 4. Hire an additional Engineering Tech II or similar to assist with field inspections. This adds 1 FTE to the <br /> Engineering Department. <br /> If implemented, the Engineering Department would move to 9 FTEs. The increase in FTEs would be supported <br /> through the influx of road funding established in 2023, increasing our stormwater duties to better meet <br /> requirements and the continued private development that is occurring and expected to continue to occur over the <br /> next at least five years. The work load for the increase is already present,but levy constraints and needs in other <br /> departments in recent years have limited the request. To meet the work load requirements, the city utilizes <br /> contracted support from private engineering firms. <br /> Funding Source: <br /> There is no funding required at this time for the purposes of eliminating the Civil Engineer IV and hiring a Storm <br /> Water Specialist. <br /> Recommendation: <br /> To provide general consensus direction to negotiate the wage scale with AFSCME and begin a recruitment for a <br /> Storm Water Specialist. <br /> Outcome/Action: <br /> To provide general consensus direction to negotiate the wage scale with AFSCME and begin a recruitment for a <br /> Storm Water Specialist, or based on discussion. <br /> Attachments <br /> No files) attached. <br /> Form Review <br /> Inbox Reviewed By Date <br /> Bruce Westby Bruce Westby 02/06/2025 11:13 AM <br /> Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 02/06/2025 03:44 PM <br /> Brian Hagen Brian Hagen 02/06/2025 03:44 PM <br /> Form Started By:Colleen Lasher Started On:02/05/2025 10:53 AM <br /> Final Approval Date:02/06/2025 <br />
