Council Notes: 75.0262 Agenda Item No /.P-; CI:rV OF SAN BERNACbINO - REQUEST FO~COUNCIL ACTION STAFF REPORT The Personnel Department concurs with the attached request from Annie Ramos to make the current classification of Coordinator of Volunteers a full-time position. The salary range would be established at range 1233, $1725 per month at step 5. The total annual cost for the new position would be $26,900, including 30% for fringe benefits. The financial impact for fiscal year 1990-91 is $20,175, based on 9 months remaining (September thru June). The department is currently spending $12,480 per year for 2 part- time positions. The matching funds for the two grant funded programs are currently budgeted in the Parks, Recreation and Community Services' Special Projects account (001-381- 53030). The Council Personnel Committee approved this request to make the Coordinator of Volunteers a full-time position at their August 9, 1990 meeting and recommend full Council approval. MEMOS COV slm 9/20/90 75-0264 o o City of San Bernardino INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM 9007-209 TO: FROM: GORDON JOHNSON, DIRECTOR OF PERSONNEL ANNIE F. RAMOS, DIRECTOR OF PARl(S, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SERVICES SUBJECT: RECLASSIFICATION VOWNTEERS OF POSITION/COORDINATOR OF DATE: JULY 18, 1990 COPIES: SHAUNA EDWINS, CITY ADMINISTRATOR This is a request for reclassification of the Coordinator of Volunteers position from part time to full time. Backqround During the past two years a Coordinator of Volunteers posi- tion has been assigned to the Senior Companions and the Retired Senior Volunteer Programs. The two (2) positions are vital to the operations of both programs in that the Volun- teer Coordinator assists the program coordinator in many of the duties dealing directly with management of individual volunteers, thus freeing the program coordinator to manage the overall program and perform the many tasks such as attending planning and strategy meetings, promoting the programs throughout the area, meeting with clients and potential volunteers, fund raising and evaluation of services. The two (2) positions are presently being hired on a part time basis to perforJI 20 hours per week for each program. Experience has shown that it i. extremely difficult to recruit the calibre of person required for this position. Each of the three times recruitment has been necessary, only three or four candidates have come forward and after initial screening, there have been only one or two who were even minimally qualified to work with our senior citizens programs. During the most recent recruitment in July 1990, three individuals applied and only one came for the oral exam and that candidate did not qualify. ~"\,.'.,.......,,. ,..:~. ;,~ ;.1~1 ~r\".l. . - :. . - .,.. , .; .-- . . ,;' - ' sz .Z Kd OZ lnr GW 03^138.:lC:l o o INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM: 9007-209 RECLASSIFICATION OF POSITION/COORDINATOR OF VOWNTEERS July 18, 1990 paqe 2 Conclusions Because the r.quirem.nt. are con.id.rably .tring.nt for a part time po.ition, it has been difficult to attract the number and quality of candidat.. d.sir.d. By changing the position to full time and providing fringe ben.fit., it is b.li.ved that r.cruitment will improve and the position may be fill.d with a person who will be l.s. lik.ly to l.ave after only a short p.riod on the job. Recommendation It is recommended that the position of Coordinator of Volunteers be reclassified from part time to full time, and that it be established at Range 1065 in the General Unit. Upon approval to chanqe to full tim., the position would be filled by one person to work for both the SCP and RSVP proqrams, rather than have two individual. working half time in each proqram. The full time job would be more challenginq and provide job sati.faction by providing more variety in the daily work load as well a. providing bett.r pay and allow- ances. ,Together, these positive aspects of a full time Coordinator of Volunteer. will attract and keep qualified people on the job. The SCP and RSVP positions of Coordinator of Volunteers are currently budqeted in the City matching fund requirements of the two federally funded programs. Th. cost. of one full time position would continue to be divided b.tween the two programs with the larqer amount beinq cr.dit.d to the Senior Companion Program because SCP has the larqer requirement and the larq.r budqet. There are suffici.nt fund. in the 1990-91 budqet to pay for on. full time position. It is estimated that by the time this reque.t i. proc....d and the r.cruitinq and hiring processes are completed, the amount needed to finish this fiscal y.ar would be approximately $13,768. This amount is currently budgeted in 001-381-53030. Your assistance and favorable consideration of this request is appreciated. /?
