RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the job description and wage
compensation for the Public Works Supervisor, Public Works Coordinator, Facility
Maintenance Specialist and Crew Lead positions and the additional compensation for on-
call duty effective August 1, 2012.
ISSUE
For City Council consideration is a recommendation to modify the structure of the Public Works
Department as discussed at the May 9 City Council Work Session.
BACKGROUND
At the May 9, 2012 Work Session, Council discussed the structure of the Public Works Department and
was presented with three options. At the direction of the City Council, Staff has proceeded with Option 3
as the preferred alternative (see Attachment 2 for the May 9, 2012 Executive Summary).
New Public Works Structure
The attached organization chart (Attachment 1) reflects the following changes to the department structure:
• Eliminate Operations Superintendent position.
• Update the Public Works Supervisor job description with increased responsibility.
• Restructure the Management Analyst position into the Public Works Coordinator position.
• Create Crew Lead positions in Streets, Parks, and Utilities.
• Create a Facility Maintenance Specialist position.
Public Works Supervisor Position
With the elimination of the Operations Superintendent position, it is anticipated that the following updates
to the Public Works Supervisor job description will be necessary:
• Assists with the development of department goals and long range plans.
• Assigns staff across the department as needed for efficient and effective operations.
• Establishes operating policy.
• Oversees contract administration for Operations Division including preparation of contracts /bids,
preparation of bid specification through contract advertisement and award.
• Monitors contract compliance.
• Coordinates and processes requisition for needed materials and equipment and obtains bids and
estimates on work to be contracted.
Public Works Coordinator Position (Restructured Management Analyst Position)
With the proposed restructuring of the Management Analyst position added expectations and
responsibilities will include the following:
• Increased participation and support for budget development and tracking.
• Development and maintenance of operation scheduling for tasks, activities and resources.
• Participate and support the development of department policies and practices. (i.e. Public Works
Quality Standards updates, Fleet Replacement Evaluation Matrix)
• Assist with the development and administration of contractual services for maintenance activities
and projects.
• Respond to resident calls and issues related to operation activities.
• Provide training and support to Secretary for the implementation and enhanced us of Laserfische
within the department and use of Cartegraph.
• Prepare appropriate reports, correspondence, spreadsheets and analysis for Operations Division.
Crew Lead Positions
Based on the expected need for the Public Works Supervisor to have an increased effort and focus on
operations administrative activities, it is proposed to create 3 Crew Lead positions within the streets, parks,
and utilities areas of the Operations Division. The Crew Lead positions are expected to be filled through
the promotion of existing maintenance staff and will be expected to provide day -to -day work direction for
operations. These positions are non - supervisory and still maintain the core roles and expectations of
maintenance workers for the completion of daily tasks and activities.
Facility Maintenance Specialist
Over the past several years with Public Works assuming the responsibility for the maintenance of
government buildings (not including RCC and Steeple Center), up to 80 percent of a full -time maintenance
worker time is spent on facility maintenance. Continuing forward, the time and complexity for the
maintenance of government buildings will increase. In recognition of this and to better clarify roles and
responsibilities within the department; it is proposed to create a Facility Maintenance Specialist position.
This position is also expected to be filled through the promotion of an existing employee. In addition to a
more clearly defined role and expectations for the maintenance of government buildings, this position will
still maintain responsibility for snow plowing and other operation activities as assigned.
On -Call Duty
As discussed with Council at the May 9 City Council Work Session, an on -call position has been developed
for Public Works utilizing existing personnel to cover the duty. With the elimination of the Operations
Superintendent position, it was identified that there is a need for a rotating on -call position to distribute
responsibility for 24/7 call coverage beyond one employee with the ability to rotate amongst employees.
The recommended compensation amount for on -call 7 -day periods is $280 /week. This amount was
established after reviewing how other comparable cities handle this assigned duty. The proposed terms of
the on -call position have been developed with the Teamsters and will be outlined in a Memorandum of
Understanding.
2
Job Descriptions and Compensation
The proposed department restructuring includes new and updated job descriptions and compensation
adjustments. These proposed new job descriptions for each position are attached (Attachment 3) and
include the expected increase in duties and responsibilities as listed above.
The City utilizes the services of Ann Antonsen of Springsted (formerly of Labor Relations) to evaluate
new or updated job descriptions and assign comparable worth points to the position. Job points are based
on the nature and scope of the position, other position responsibilities within the City, and pay equity data.
Ms. Antonsen has reviewed the existing job descriptions, as well as the proposed position descriptions and
has recommended the pay equity points. Based on this data, staff is proposing the positions be
compensated as indicated in the table below.

Range:
Proposed Start
Base Rate: $78,195 $30.20 /hour $27.66 /hour $27.66 /hour
Staff has met with representatives from both the Teamsters and AFSMCE Bargaining Units to review the
proposed job duties and wages and has come to a tentative agreement to incorporate these new positions.
Staff has conferred with the union representatives regarding the job descriptions and compensation
because the positions are currently not stipulated in the appropriate contracts. All parties are aware that
the restructuring is subject to final City Council approval.
SUMMARY
If Council approves of the new structure of the Public Works Department, it is requested that Council
authorize the new job descriptions and pay structure as indicated in the motion above.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
CITY COUNCIL
City Council Work Session: May 9, 2012
AGENDA ITEM: Public Works Department Organization AGENDA SECTION:
PREPARED BY: Dwight Johnson, City Administrator 6.
Andrew J. Brotzler, PE, Director of Public AGENDA NO.
Works /City Engineer
ATTACHMENTS: Operations Superintendent Job
Description, Public Works Department APPROVED BY:
Organization Charts (3)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion and direction for Public Works Department
Organization.
The City Council discussed at its April 11, 2012 Work Session the retirement of the current Operations
Superintendent, Rick Cook, effective May 31, 2012 and the possible replacement of this position. During
this discussion, the current organization chart was discussed along with the expected requirements for the
direct replacement of this position. There was additional discussion related to department structure
alternatives to a direct replacement of the Operations Superintendent position. Included in this
memorandum is a presentation of the current Public Works Department organization chart and two
alternative Public Works Department organization charts that restructure the department and eliminate the
Operations Superintendent position.
I. Existing Public Works Department Organization Chart (Attached)
The Public Works Department is currently comprised of 24'/2 full -time employees, 19 of
which are in the Operations Division. The department also utilizes up to 15 seasonal
employees to assist with summer maintenance activities, a majority of the work being in parks
maintenance.
Within this structure, the role of the Operations Superintendent is the overall supervision,
direction, coordination, planning and support to the Operations Division. The position is
responsible for division program delivery and management of division assets along with
assisting the Director of Public Works with budgets, Council issues, purchasing, managing
contracts and ensuring the public receives effective and efficient maintenance services
consistent with the vision of the City Council and Public Works Department.
This organization structure with an Operations Superintendent level position and one or more
supervisors is a typical structure. As discussed with Council and noted in the attached
Operations Superintendent job description, the expectations of the position are for higher level
public works administrative activities, planning, and visioning.
The approximate salary and benefit cost for the Operations Superintendent position is
$116,000.
Pros: We believe that we can recruit a Superintendent in today's market that who would have
considerable management and administrative skills as well as depth of experience in one or
more organizations. By adding an experienced, creative, innovative Superintendent, we are
likely to make the department measurably more efficient over time, more than offsetting the
cost of the position.
Cons: This option is the most expensive of the three options and does not provide any real
opportunity to develop other City staff.
II. Alternate Public Works Department Organization -Two Supervisors (Attached)
An alternate Public Works Department organization structure is attached as discussed by
Council at the April 11, 2012 Work Session. This alternate consist of eliminating the
Operations Superintendent position and replacing it with a second Public Works Supervisor
position. The two supervisors would likely divide their responsibilities with one supervisor
taking charge of streets and parks and the other taking charge of utilities and the mechanics.
Pros: This option is about $19,000 less expensive that the first option while still providing
plenty of supervisory backup for the division. This option would also allow us to
hire /promote a person with specialized utility certifications.
Cons: This option costs nearly as much as the first option, but does not provide the additional
benefits of knowledge, experience and innovation that we would expect with the first option.
We also believe that this structure may foster some potential for dividing the division and
creating competing interests for resources within the division.
III. Second Alternative Public Works Department Organization -One Supervisor plus other
contingent personnel changes. (Attached)
Following the Council discussion at the April 11, 2012 Work Session and after further
consideration of how to streamline and adjust the structure of the Public Works Department
to best utilize our existing staff, the attached recommended department organization chart has
been developed. This organization chart considers the following changes to the department
structure.
• Eliminate Operations Superintendent position.
• Update the Public Works Supervisor job description.
• Restructure the Management Analyst position.
• Create Lead Worker positions in Streets, Parks, and Utilities who would likely be
promoted from among the existing Maintenance Workers.
• Create Facility Specialist position to be filled by an existing Maintenance Worker
already performing most of these duties.
Public Works Supervisor Job Description Update
With the elimination of the Operations Superintendent position, it is anticipated that the
following updates to the Public Works Supervisor job description will be necessary:
• Assists with the development of department goals and long range plans.
• Assigns staff across the department as needed for efficient and effective operations.
• Establishes operating policy.
• Oversees contract administration for Operations Division including preparation of
contracts /bids, preparation of bid specification through contract advertisement and
award.
• Monitors contract compliance.
• Coordinates and processes requisition for needed materials and equipment and obtains
bids and estimates on work to be contracted.
Restructure Management Analyst Position
The Management Analyst position currently administers a wide variety of engineering and
operation activities. These include the following:
• Development and administration of subdivision agreements and development fund
accounts.
• Administration of developer letters of credit.
• Preparation of department newsletter items, annual water report, and maintenance of
department web page.
• Operation and maintenance of Cartegraph system and activities.
• Administrative support with budget preparation and annual review of utility rates.
• Administration and coordination of WHEP program.
• Administration and coordination of MS4 permit.
With the proposed restructuring of the Management Analyst position added expectations and
responsibilities will include the following:
• Increased participation and support for budget development and tracking.
• Development and maintenance of operation scheduling for tasks, activities and
resources.
• Participate and support the development of department policies and practices. (i.e.
Public Works Quality Standards updates, Fleet Replacement Evaluation Matrix)
• Assist with the development and administration of contractual services for
maintenance activities and projects.
• Respond to resident calls and issues related to operation activities.
• Provide training and support to Secretary for the implementation and enhanced us of
Laserfische within the department and use of Cartegraph.
• Prepare appropriate reports, correspondence, spreadsheets and analysis for Operations
Division.
Lead Worker Positions
Based on the expected need for the Public Works Supervisor to have an increased effort and
focus on operations administrative activities, it is proposed to create 3 Lead Worker positions
within the streets, parks, and utilities areas of the Operations Division. The lead worker
positions are expected to be filled through the promotion of existing maintenance staff and will
be expected to provide day -to -day work direction for operations. These positions are non -
supervisory and still maintain the core roles and expectations of maintenance workers for the
completion of daily tasks and activities.
Facility Specialist
Over the past several years with Public Works assuming the responsibility for the maintenance
of government buildings (not including RCC and Steeple Center), up to 80 percent of a full-
time maintenance worker time is spent on facility maintenance. Continuing forward, the time
and complexity for the maintenance of government buildings will increase. In recognition of
this and to better clarify roles and responsibilities within the department; it is proposed to
create a Facility Specialist position. This position is also expected to be filled through the
promotion of an existing employee. In addition to a more clearly defined role and expectations
for the maintenance of government buildings, this position will still maintain responsibility for
snow plowing and other operation activities as assigned.
Job Descriptions and Compensation
If Council supports the proposed department restructuring, new and updated job descriptions
will need to be developed along with an analysis of compensation. A very general preliminary
estimate of overall salary /benefit cost savings with these proposed changes is $81,000 to
$91,000. This is based on saving $116,000 with the elimination of the Operations
Superintendent position and adding between $25,000 and $35,000 for the position updates.
Final dollar amounts will be determined following the updating and scoring of job descriptions.
Additionally, several of the proposed changes will involve discussions with the unions for the
• job description updates.
PROS: This alternative shows the most cash savings of the three alternatives, perhaps $90,000
per year. About half of the savings would be in the General Fund. This proposal also helps
use existing employees in an optimal manner. The addition of lead workers and additional help
from the Management Analyst will help fill some of the gaps left with not filling the
Superintendent position.
CONS: This alternative does not provide the potential for future innovation that the first
option offers. It is also a complicated alternative that requires union negotiations for several of
the proposed changes. It also moves the current Supervisor closer in responsibilities to a
Superintendent position without any evaluation of the efficacy of this. This option also may
need further adjusting when a new water treatment plant is built.
SUMMARY
The first option, hiring a new Superintendent, has the highest out-of--pocket cost, but the City will likely
receive commensurate return on investment. For example, if the division sooner or later becomes 2%
more efficient than otherwise might have happened, the investment in a Superintendent position will have
a positive rate of return.
The third option is also attractive because the savings are upfront and assured. This option is also a good
value for the money spent.
The option that is least attractive is the two supervisor option since it has a relatively high cost but with
few of the advantages of the first option and because of the potential to structurally encourage internal
conflict over resources.
The staff suggests that the Council most strongly consider the first or third options.
