Item No: 1162 <br />Meeting Date: February 10 2014 <br />Type of Business: Reports <br />Administrator Review: �r <br />l <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nick DeBar, Director of Public Works <br />Item Title/subject: Review Position Description for Project Coordinator <br />At the February 2014 work session, a new project management -type position in the <br />Engineering Division of Public Works was discussed. The Council reviewed a proposed <br />"Engineering Project Manager" position description that was drafted, however, staff <br />recommended (and Council agreed) that this position be lowered in classification. A position <br />with less managerial and less higher-level decision making was proposed. <br />Attached to this report for review and comment is a position description for a `Project <br />Coordinator". This proposed employee would work directly with the Director of Public <br />Works/City Engineer on capital improvements and public works construction projects. The <br />Project Coordinator would be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of assigned projects, <br />ensuring that work is being completed on time and in compliance with standards. This position <br />would work closely with the Director of Public Works/City Engineer and provide regular project <br />updates. In addition, the Project Coordinator would be the main point of contact for assigned <br />projects with consultants, contractors, property owners, regulators, and other project <br />participants. <br />The position description has taken into account the duties of the Director of Public Works/City <br />Engineer and Engineering Technician - the only two employees currently assigned to the <br />Division. I believe that this is the "right fit' for the division/department/city now and into the <br />foreseeable future. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Vim-' <br />Nick DeBar — Director of Public Works <br />
