Subject:Elimination of Position in the Public Works Department
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
The Public Works Department has a filled full-time permanent position of Public Works Chief of Administrative
Services with responsibility for management of the Department’s Finance Division which includes budget,
financial reporting, fiscal support services, and department financial data processing programs. The General
Services Department has a filled full-time permanent position of Departmental Fiscal Officer that also has
responsibility for management of Department fiscal activities. As the Department’s finance functions were
merged these two positions created a redundancy in the management of fiscal activities. Therefore, the
Departmental Fiscal Officer position is not needed within the organizational structure of the merged Public Works
Department.
It is anticipated that the employee will demote in lieu of layoff to the position of Supervising Accountant(Local
21) in the Public Works Department.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved, the Public Works department will have redundant positions in their finance division
as determined by the Department.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
