Assumptions, <br />• Leadership said all Parks Maintenance is in <br />• Natural Resources work unit needs a new method to manage crews (3 currently) <br />• Weekend Supervisor would be a shared resource with Maintenance <br />• Mowing crews need to maintain a relationship with the department <br />• Support coordinated effort to manage Parks & Open Space and bring Urban <br />Forestry perspective in managing and planning aspect. <br />• Share crews and knowledge — improve coordination <br />• PDD may get Urban Forestry referral — plan review <br />• If open waterways maintenance, then Trevor Taylor may need to be in the new <br />division. <br />• If we include a portion of the pipe system, then Brian Elliott and Kathy Jensen <br />should be in. <br />• If person's primary service responsibility is not in, then they should stay where <br />they are at. . <br />• Street Sanitation, Maintenance (including bike paths), Wastewater Collections <br />remain in Maintenance — deal more with buried infrastructure and hard scape. <br />• Channel maintenance may need to be in. (Gradeall crew and one on Street <br />Sanitation that performs weekly channel inspection) <br />• Wetlands (including mitigation bank) — clearly fits in the new division <br />• Stormwater technical, policy, and program development (with respect to stream <br />corridors); in the new division to optimize coordination potential. <br />• Environmental technical review assistance (natural resources, ecology) function <br />may need to be duplicated in Engineering for assistance to project teams and team <br />central for multiple objective capital projects and development reviews. <br />• Basin planning implementation needs to be completed before changes take place <br />with respect to stormwater basin planning staff. Phased implementation may <br />"back burner" coordinated waterway acquisition and stream corridor restoration <br />prioritization. <br />• Landscape Architects stay in Engineering. They are a consulting service for <br />multiple City service areas. Need to be located in the Hotel to complete work. <br />• Erosion prevention in Parks & Open Space, IF the new division manages the open <br />waterway program for the City. <br />• Erosion expertise needs to be in current unit (PWE) as well as new division. <br />• Land use stays in Engineering as lead. If Public Works has a single permitting <br />process, then erosion prevention should stay in PWE. <br />• Acquisition (real property officers) stays in Engineering because of the expertise <br />and litigation requirements. Engineering implements; new division plans for. <br />• No additional funding for support services, so leave in Maintenance. <br />• Ideal to duplicate support services so new division can handle its own support. <br />• Division manager and support (Admin Aide) in new division. <br />• Urban Forestry and Parks Maintenance current support needs are very high. <br />3 <br />
