These changes will allow greater flexibility in the budget and create efficiencies at the management level of the City. The following is a description of the newly created positions within the Department of Community Assets and Development. Director of the Department of Community Assets and Development The creation of a Department of Community Assets and Development would merge the Public Works, Engineering, and Community Development services into one department. The Director of this department would be responsible for the efficient delivery of services for each area, specifically focusing on high level leadership of the streets, water, facilities maintenance, planning, economic development, building and code inspection, and geographic information systems services. This position would supervise, support, and direct the Deputy Director position on development, redevelopment, and the administration of zoning, planning, land use, building and code inspections. Assistant Director of Community Assets and Development /Director of Planning This position, with direction from the Director, will supervise, represent, administer and enforce all land use, planning and zoning, housing, nuisance code and related activities for the City. The goal for the position will be to ensure land use, development, and enforcement actions are in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan, City Code, and other controlling policies. The position will also prepare, update and implement assigned development and redevelopment plans and strategies for the City with direction from the Director of the department. The Assistant Director will supervise the building and code inspectors and other positions in the department based on the attached organization chart. GIS Engineering Specialist Position The GIS Engineering Specialist will manage and coordinate all current GIS Specialist duties and be trained and work on engineering tasks. These tasks would include plan designs around Public Works, engineering, and redevelopment projects and would encompass some of the work currently done by the Senior Engineering Supervisor. Downgrade the Senior Engineering Supervisor Position The Senior Engineering Supervisor position would be downgraded and likely filled by a recent graduate in engineering. This would be an entry level position into the engineering field and likely be a Civil Engineer II position, a previous position in Engineering.. Cost Comparison The reorganization will reduce the 2015 proposed budget by nearly $167,213.00. These savings are primarily reflected because of the elimination of a Director level position and the downgrading of the Senior Engineering Supervisor. A cost comparison of the current position costs in the original 2015 budget and the new positions and costs in the amended 2015 budget has been attached to this report. These east savings for the 2015 budget could be higher
