Memo to: Chuck Fairchild, Acting Supervisory Natural Resource Specialist <br /> Date: January 10, 2010 <br /> RE: Clarification of Duties during 120 day Detail (Part two) <br /> CC: Jonathan Wilder, Eugene District Union Representative <br /> Peggie Russell- Davis, Personnel Specialist <br /> Thank you for a new draft of the proposed 120- day detail to unclassified duties late Friday. In a <br /> separate memo earlier today I have addressed two high -level points seeking immediate <br /> adjustment. In this memo, I'm listing some additional concerns for which I understand <br /> clarification may require additional research or consideration — although with the detail starting, <br /> time is of the essence with regard to these clarifications as well. <br /> 1. Regarding the duties outlined in the detail document, which includes a list of duties <br /> described as a miscellaneous set of responsibilities that were once accomplished by several <br /> employees that recently retired from the Eugene District, I would overall appreciate a better <br /> understanding of these duties and the expectations over the 120 day detail. <br /> For example, Doug Huntington told me that he spent about 25% of his time coordinating the <br /> current volunteer program and certain parts of the current district environmental education <br /> • activities. <br /> In addition to what Doug did for the Eugene District on these duties in 0.25 FTE, I have been <br /> assigned: <br /> • To develop, coordinate and implement the Eugene District Environmental Education <br /> Strategic Plan <br /> • Coordinate and respond to new work coming out of the OSO and WO with regard to <br /> increased emphasis in the BLM on environmental education <br /> • Coordinate additional educational programs beyond Doug Huntington's portfolio, such as <br /> the education programs <br /> • Coordinate the District's role in Citizen Science <br /> It appears reasonable to expect that this task listed as "4. Environmental Education" <br /> would call for about 0.5 FTE over the next 120 days. <br /> With that kind of simple workload comparison and analysis in mind, <br /> a. Could you please let me know about how many hours per week or month on <br /> average, or the percentage FTE, that were dedicated by the previous employees to <br /> performing the duties outlined in your sections 1, 2, 3, and 4? <br />
