POSITION IN THE WATER FUND BUDGET
Statement of Issue, Funding Source, Recommended Action, Alternative Action(s), Analysis, Environmental Status, Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: The addition of a full-time position of Civil Engineering Assistant will
provide development review and capital project analysis services for the Water Division.
These services are currently being provided primarily by a contract civil engineer.
Funding Source: Funds are included in the Water Division Contract Services budget.
Upon Council authorization to establish this position in the budget, these funds will be
transferred to the Water Engineering Salaries account. This action will result in an annual
savings of approximately $60,000.
Recommended Action: Motion to:
Authorize the addition of a Civil Engineering Assistant to the Water Division of the Public
Works Department.
Alternative Action(s): Do not authorize the hiring of a Civil Engineering Assistant, and
continue providing these critical services at a significantly greater cost to the City.
REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: May 1, 2000
DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: PW 00-30
Analysis: The responsibilities of the Engineering section of the Water Division include
development support services. These services include entitlement review, plan checking and
hydraulic modeling and evaluation for impacts on the City's water system. The Water
Engineering section also provides technical support and hydraulic modeling assistance on
major Water Master Plan and Capital Improvement Program capital projects. For the past
several years, these engineering services have been provided by contract civil engineers at a
significantly greater cost and reduced level of service to the City and the development
community.
The need for this highly visible position is permanent and constant. It is expected that
meeting this need with a full time City employee is the most efficient and cost effective
solution, resulting in annual savings to the City of approximately $60,000.
