PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to request City Council adoption of a resolution revising and re-titling the specification for the classification of Building Maintenance Supervisor CTC No. 0119 to Facilities Maintenance Manager CTC No. 0337, as shown in the attachments.

BACKGROUND

The specification for the classification of Building Maintenance Supervisor has not been revised since 1982 with one exception.  In July of 2003 the specification was revised to reflect the change in the Education/Training requirements to include the �any combination� language.  Additionally, the incumbent in this position, a long-term employee, will be retiring within a couple of months.  With the impending recruitment and the fact that this specification has not been revised in more than twenty (20) years, this is the appropriate time to revise the specification and title to reflect the management status of the position, reflect the actual duties and requirements of the position including project management responsibilities, and address consistency with the current market industry.  The revisions and re-titling of this specification reflects the current needs of the department.

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION

This position manages the maintenance, repair, and renovation of City facilities by both City employees and outside contractors and vendors; negotiates and administers contracts with outside contractors and vendors; manages the custodial staff for City facilities; prepares and administers the section�s budget; and provides direct communication with the Assistant Public Works Director � Fleet & Building.  The revisions and re-titling of this specification more accurately describes the actual duties and requirements for the position and conforms to equivalent positions within Burbank�s survey cities.  These revisions will also assist the department as it needs to recruit for this highly specialized field.

This classification will continue to be a Civil Service position, subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), and included in the City�s Conflict of Interest Code.  The Burbank Management Association (BMA) will continue to represent this classification.  The Civil Service Board approved the revisions and re-titling of this specification at their regular meeting on March 2, 2005.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact from the revisions or re-titling of this specification because the current salary range for the position will be maintained.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed resolution revising and re-titling the specification for the classification of Building Maintenance Supervisor CTC No. 0119 to Facilities Maintenance Manager CTC No. 0337.

Respectfully submitted,

Judie Sarquiz

Management Services Director
