Lead Worker Park Spec. 3B 1 1 <br /> Aerial Lift Crew Ldr Park Spec. 3 1 2 <br /> Tree Trimmer Park Spec. 2B 2 2 <br /> Total 4 5 <br /> To utilize staff resources efficiently, it is important to have a Lead Worker/Inspector in <br /> addition to two full crews. Currently, the 3B is allotted only one day a week to conduct <br /> inspections and complete other administrative duties; i.e., purchasing, scheduling, etc. <br /> In order for the crew to function smoothly, more time should be allocated to these <br /> duties. The Leadworker will be available to backfill for crew absences but would be <br /> primarily engaged in coordinating activities. <br /> The section currently has two aerial lifts and two fully qualified operators capable of <br /> leading a two person crew. If each operator were made a crew leader (PS 3) and <br /> given a climbing qualified trimmer (PS 2B), the Section could fully utilize the equip- <br /> ment and allow the Leadworker to concentrate on inspections and scheduling. At <br /> present, with only four workers, any absence shuts down an entire crew. <br /> Because there is an existing backlog of requests, we are unable to initiate the new <br /> system without some phase -in. A sudden switch to the new system would mean engag- <br /> ing in almost 100% removal work (Class III) to the exclusion of maintenance pruning <br />
