SUMMARY: Since the retirement of Joe Oliver in 2016, the District has operated with one less division, certain Water Resources Division functions were combined with Planning and Engineering Division, and the Fisheries unit reported directly to the General Manager. At this time, the General Manager proposes to convert the Riparian Projects Coordinator position to an Environmental Resources Manager position to manage the staff and functions of the Environmental Resources Division. The staff member currently in the Riparian Projects Coordinator position will assume additional higher-level management duties associated with directing, managing, and supervising the programs and activities of the Environmental Resources Division. This position will report directly to the General Manager.
It is also an opportunity to act on the General Manager’s long-stated goal to restructure the Water Resources and Engineering Division and the Fisheries unit into two distinct divisions: Water Resources Division (WRD) and a new Environmental Resources Division (ERD). The current staff members involved in hydrology, stream gaging activities, well monitoring & reporting, and planning and engineering will compose the new Water Resources Division. Staff members involved in river work, habitat, and fisheries projects will compose the Environmental Resources Division. This structure will better match the District’s finance and accounting cost centers: Water Supply, Mitigation, and Water Demand.
A job description for this
converted position will be distributed at the Committee meeting.
The position would be placed at Range 47-D on the
District’s current salary schedule.
RECOMMENDATION: It is
recommended that the Committee recommend that the Board authorize the
conversion of the Riparian Projects Coordinator position to Environmental
Resources Manager position and associated salary range.
IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES: The cost differential between salary range 42-E (Riparian Projects Coordinator) and salary range 47-D (Environmental Resources Manager) will be approximately $22,000 in salary and benefits.
