SUMMARY: The District’s River Maintenance Specialist, Mark Bekker, recently retired after 33 years of service. In addition to river maintenance specific job duties of the River Maintenance Specialist position, the Water Resources and Engineering department has determined that a position that will also support other field projects would better meet the needs of the District.
Staff proposes to convert the River
Maintenance Specialist classification to the Resources Maintenance Specialist
classification. The Resources
Maintenance Specialist position is a journey level classification and will continue
to report directly to the Riparian Projects Coordinator. This position will continue to perform field
work in the riparian corridor but also assist with fisheries and Aquifer
Storage and Recovery project activities. A job description of this position is attached
as Exhibit 5-A.
The salary range for this position will remain the
same as the River Maintenance Specialist at Range 21.
RECOMMENDATION: Authorize
the conversion of the River Maintenance Specialist classification to Resources
Maintenance Specialist and associated salary range.
IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES: For FY 2018-19, there should be some cost savings while the position is being filled. The initial salary will also likely be somewhat lower.
