F. Development Review: Keep current structure where PWE provides coordination role with POS <br />staff doing some review. Providing assistance to the outside would continue to be provided by <br />PWE staff (Joe's group). <br />G. Wetlands Design and Construction: Similar to how wetland design & construction is currently <br />done (if there is a need for a construction contract, or if there is a need for engineering, <br />surveying, and drafting, project teams would take the lead), however, Wetland responsibility <br />would be in the new division with assistance of the other divisions as needed.. <br />H. Administrative Support: Maintenance can provide core service (payroll, personnel functions, <br />customer service). Would recommend an assessment of program support for a new division. <br />May have an unmet need for contract management and grant applications. <br />I.

However, it is recommended an <br />assessment of various technical support for a new division be conducted. <br />J. Landscape Architects functions (where do they go): <br />Functions <br />1. Concept Plans <br />2. Design Development <br />3. Permitting <br />4. Plans and specs <br />5. Contract Development <br />6. Construction, Project Management, Inspection and Contract Management <br />Aareement None. This was the most difficult decision for the team. Since there was no <br />agreement, it was decided to leave the Landscape Architects in Engineering. Efforts for <br />additional coordination between Parks Planning and the Engineering Landscape Architects <br />should be implemented. <br />Advantages to moving the three en ing_ eerina LAs to new division <br />• same geographic location encourages coordination between planning, design and <br />construction and operation functions <br />• more coordination between design function and implementation (in the Parks & Open <br />Space Division) <br />• If the same people are involved in the vision, public outreach, design and managment of <br />projects, they will better understand and implement the vision <br />• parks and open space bond measure provided funding for two LA'sto design and <br />construct projects. <br />• details of the plans are critical to eventual park use <br />October 19, 2000 22 <br />
