Creating a Traffic <br /> Technician-Drafting Technician position will provide the needed assistance to the Traffic Safety <br /> Section with plan reviews, general traffic counts for signals and stop sign warrant analysis, speed <br /> hump requests, investigations, drafting striping plans and striping as-builts. <br /> The Traffic Signals and Street Lights Section currently has only one designated personnel to <br /> monitor and maintain the "in house" hardware and software for the traffic signals and this position <br /> is responsible for all conflicts and emergencies and is available for standby 24 hours a day and 7 <br /> days a week. The new Traffic Technician II position will provide assistance to the Traffic Tech <br /> Specialist in maintaining signal software and intricate signal timing involving specialized data <br /> collection and congestion monitoring. <br /> Enclosed is a resolution that creates a Traffic Technician-Drafting Technician position and a <br /> Traffic Technician II position for the Department of Public Works' Traffic Division. These positions <br /> will be funded by the already budgeted cost for As-Built Striping Plans. The drafting of these <br /> plans were supposed to be contracted out. However, with the positions, a portion of the job will <br /> now be done in-house. <br /> If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Department of Public Works. <br /> <br /> <br /> 007M~~ <br /> William Takaba <br /> <br /> /Director of Finance <br /> ~o .'}l1- 0$ > Comm.
