CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />STAFF REPORT <br />Date: <br />To: <br />From: <br />September 8, 1997 <br />City Council <br />APPROVED AND <br />FORWARDED <br />TO CITY COUNCIL <br />John,.. Jermanis <br />City�Manager <br />Steven A. Harman, Human Resources Director ,�L( <br />Subject: Resolution to Amend the Pay Plan to Create the Classification of Tree Trimmer <br />II; Retitle the Classification of Tree Trimmer to Tree Trimmer I; Request to Add <br />a New Park Maintenance Worker I position to the Landscape Maintenance <br />Section of the Public Works Services Department. <br />SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Council approve a resolution creating a new classification of <br />Tree Trimmer II at a salary range of $3,123 - 3,279 - 3,443 - 3,615 - 3,796 per month; retitle the <br />classification of Tree Trimmer to Tree Trimmer I; and approve the addition of one new Park <br />Maintenance Worker I position in the Landscape Maintenance Section of the Public Works <br />Services Department, with the position to be assigned to the City's tree crew operation. <br />BACKGROUND <br />The demand for tree trimming services has increased dramatically over the past three years due <br />to the planting of over one thousand street trees throughout the City. In order to meet the <br />demand for increased three trimming maintenance and planting of trees on City streets in <br />accordance with City policy, particularly in residential areas throughout San Leandro, the Public <br />Works Services Director has re-evaluated the organization of tree crews with the goal of <br />increasing crew flexibility and responsiveness to meet the public's need for service. <br />Presently, the tree crews consist of three (3) Tree Trimmers receiving a 5% differential for the <br />additional duties of the lead worker assignment, and two (2) Tree Trimmers. The Public Works <br />Services Director proposes the creation of a new classification of Tree Trimmer II, which will be <br />responsible for performing lead work on a tree crew, and adding a new Park Maintenance <br />Worker I position that would be assigned to the tree crew. This would result in having three tree <br />crews assigned throughout the City's residential areas to provide the full range of tree care and <br />maintenance services. <br />95 <br />
