Since his hiring, Steve <br />has proven his abilities as a highly skilled mechanic and has taken the role very professional He is <br />directly heading up the task of implementing a vehicle and equipment maintenance tracking software <br />project and has also recently completed a parts room inventory and identified many parts that are <br />unnecessary for us to keep in stock. These two tasks are crucial to the efficiency of the mechanics <br />shop. Steve is a valuable member of the department and well respected by the staff. I have <br />completed a performance review for Steve and it has been placed in his personnel file. <br /> <br />The mechanic position is considered a leadership position and is aligned as so in the current Public <br />Works flow chart (see attached). Current pay for the position is a pay grade 5 with a personal tools <br />stipend of $140 per pay period. I am recommending the removal of the personal tools stipend and <br />reassigning the position to a pay grade 6 which aligns with the Lead Worker positions. As I <br />mentioned above, the mechanics position is very important to the department and carries extra <br />responsibilities that are not associated with the general Public Works Worker positions. <br /> <br />I am requesting City Council approval to reassign the Public Works Mechanic position to pay grade 6 <br />with the removal of the personal tool stipend and place Steve Garcia at step 5 for 2024. <br /> <br />Please place this topic on the November 20th Council agenda for their consideration. <br />
