body
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services (“PRCS”) Department requested a reclassification study of one Park Maintenance Worker III in their FY 2025/26 budget. The study request was approved and Human Resources staff completed the reclassification review. The study and review found that the incumbent, Mr. Colin Likiliki, is performing the higher-level work as described in the Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker job description. Mr. Likiliki was temporarily upgraded to the Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker for a significant period of time and was performing the higher-level duties. The analysis and findings confirmed that Mr. Likiliki has the required knowledge, skills, and expertise and has been performing these higher-level duties that support the reclassification.
As the City’s park’s infrastructure and irrigation systems age, it is necessary to have more than one Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker who can perform the more complex and higher-level tasks and duties. It is critical to perform on-going maintenance to ensure the parks and park facilities are available for use by the citizens of Lodi.
It is recommended that Council approve the reclassification of Mr. Colin Likiliki, Park Maintenance Worker III to Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker, effective July 7, 2025.
STRATEGIC VISION:
All
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is a ten percent (10%) differential between the top-step salary range of the Park Maintenance Worker III and the top-step salary range of the Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker. Pursuant to the City of Lodi’s Salary Policy, employees who promote into a higher classification are eligible for a minimum increase of five percent (5%), not to exceed the top salary step of the position into which they are promoting.
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Funding available in the PRCS Department’s budget.
