BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
paper documents for the entire County. Only one Recycle Center Attendant is assigned to Surplus, and they are
responsible for the pickup, delivery, selling and recycling of all surplus items for the entire County. Presently,
there are only two employees in Surplus, the Recycle Center Attendant and the Lead Materials Technician.
Previously, the Lead Materials Technician was only assigned to Surplus and had more time to perform a lot of the
day-to-day functions in Surplus. However, the Lead Resources Center Attendant, who oversaw all activities in
Recycle, retired effective May 31, 2014, leaving the Lead Materials Technician to oversee the employees and
activities in both Recycle and Surplus, requiring the Recycle Center Attendant in Surplus to perform more duties.
Additionally, if any of the Recycle Center Attendants in Recycle are absent, the Recycle Center Attendant from
Surplus has to cover the open Recycle Routes, leaving Surplus without any coverage. Therefore, an additional
Recycle Center Attendant I is needed to assist with the workload in Surplus and also provide coverage to Surplus
when other Recycle Center Attendants are absent.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not carried out, the Materials Management Division of the Public Works Department will not have
appropriate staffing levels to complete all necessary work and provide exemplary service to customer departments.

Not applicable.
