FormB-52 <br /> 7/16/ 1 <br /> DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE <br /> REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> DEPARTMENT: Human Resources DATE: September 12, 2022 <br /> STAFF CONTACT: Jamielyn Martines PHONE: x6216 <br /> A. REQUEST: <br /> Requesting to create 20 new unfunded temporary"on call" positions in the Department of Human <br /> Resources. These new"on call' positions are part of a pilot program in partnership with the Department of <br /> Parks and Recreation. <br /> B. BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION (USE ADDITIONAL SHEETS AS NEEDED): <br /> The Department of Human Resources (DHR) and the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) are <br /> working on a pilot program to create"on call" positions. These positions will provide short-term, day-to-day <br /> coverage for staffing shortages. <br /> There are times, typically on the weekends and holidays, when DPR's parks maintenance crews are <br /> extremely short handed due to numerous park caretakers calling in sick and rejecting overtime opportunities. <br /> This often leaves the crews with 1 or 2 park caretakers in an entire district being responsible for the opening <br /> of parks, cleaning restroom facilities, and disposing of rubbish at a time when the parks have the most <br /> visitors. <br /> With these "on call"positions, DPR will be able to ensure that park facilities are clean and safe for public <br /> enjoyment. <br /> SIGNED: DATE: q IYJy� <br /> epartment Head <br />
