NEW POSITION INFORMATION FORM II1Gt~~iD,rl c~:. P:t 3,2- Department: Fire Date: 11/10/08 Division/Branch: Emergency Operations Division/Ocean Safety Bureau # of Similar Pay Fund Pos. in Class Title Grade Sala Source Dept. Acct# Water Safety Officer II SR 17 $36,516 010.221. 38 5223.01 .011 1. Give reasons how new duties arose (statutes enacted, ordinances, newly authorized programs, basis for increased workloads, etc.): Presently the duties and responsibilities of the proposed new position are being assigned to two part time positions in the same class and rate of pay. These two part time (half time) positions are currently funded and vacant. By consolidating the allocated funding of the two part time positions a full time position in the some class and rate of pay could be established. Given the difficulties experienced in recruiting and retaining qualified and desirable water safety officers as well as the increased activity and use of all beaches, a full time position would provide a more attractive employment opportunity as well as improve staffing stability and coverage at the respective unit/beach. In addition, the two half time positions do not provide any significant cost savings in comparison to the single full time position. 2. Can new duties be assigned to existing positions or handled in other way such as short term contracts, etc. As proposed and described in item 1, above, the recruitment and hiring for part time (half time) water safety officers has been a standing practice however difficult to achieve and maintain. Presently there are qualified and interested candidates for a full time position and the establishment of a new full time position could be completed with little to no additional costs given the proposed consolidation of available and allocated funds.
