File Number: 23-523 maintenance costs, and reallocation of appropriations to the General Fund from Enterprise Funds, primarily the Stormwater Fund and the Water Pollution Control Fund. DISCUSSION The City Council took action on October 2, 2023 to add a Recreation and Parks Director position, fund the Public Works Services Manager position, and eliminate the Engineering and Transportation Director position to implement the new structure. Two currently vacant Administrative Assistant I positions are proposed to be upgraded to Administrative Assistant II classifications supporting more complex duties of the newly expanded Recreation and Parks Department. The reorganization provided the opportunity to evaluate staffing allocations to the various General Fund, Enterprise Fund, and Internal Service Fund accounts. Personnel and operation and maintenance cost allocations to the 25 accounts were updated to reflect the work more accurately being completed, and expenses were transferred from Public Works accounts to new Recreation and Parks accounts. The net changes in appropriations among all funds amounts to $29,770 in 2023-2024, which represents the total additional appropriations arising from the proposed changes. The net change in 2024-2025 will be $89,630 (a full fiscal year). Recreation-related costs ($150,000 in 2023-2024, and $280,500 in 2024-2025) are excluded in the summary because staff will identify offsetting cost-savings within existing appropriations. The City and the San Leandro City Employees’ Association (SLCEA) met and conferred on the reorganization’s impact on employees’ work assignments. Based on the transition of duties between the affected departments, it is proposed that Street Supervisors receive a salary adjustment of 12.5%. This will affect two current employees who will oversee a revised paving/street services section within the Public Works Department and a tree/urban forest section within the Recreation & Parks Department. Based on an internal analysis, staff recommend a 12.5% salary adjustment, which will bring Street Supervisor to the same salary range as similarly situated classifications, including Building Supervisor and Parks Supervisor. The proposed salary will be set at $8,760 - $10,648 monthly effective January 1, 2024. The City has met and conferred SLCEA to agreement on this proposed salary increase. The net change in appropriations for the General Fund will be $314,930 in 2023-2024 primarily due to reallocation of street cleanup, refuse and hazardous material disposal, and graffiti abatement expenses from the Stormwater Fund and Water Pollution Control Plant Fund to a new General Fund Street Services Cleanup account. The net change in 2024-2025 will be $556,530 (a full fiscal year). FINANCIAL IMPACT The net change in appropriations for the General Fund will be $314,930 in 2023-2024.
