DATE: AUGUST 28, 1981 I n t e r� C om
TO: CHARLES THMR, INTERIM CITY MANAGER
FROM: BOB LEDENDECKER, DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WDRKS/CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WDFUS DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL VACANCIES
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the Tustin City Council, at their meeting of September 80, 1981, authorize the
following:
a. Recruitment for and filling of the Water Service Maintenance Worker
position.
b. Downgrading of the vacant Assistant Civil Engineer position to a Jr. Civil
Engineer position and the filling of the Jr. Civil Engineer with David Poage
on a closed promotional basis.
c. Downgrade the salary range of the Engineering Aide position at all steps by
an amount of 58.
BACKGROUND:
Three employees have resigned their positions within the Water Service and
Engineering divisions as follows:
LARRY J. BERLE, Water Maintenance Worker, has resigned his Position with the
City effective August 28, 1981 due to the relocation of his residence out of the
area to northern California.
DOUGLAS PIKE, Assistant Civil Engineer, has resigned his position with the City
effective September 5, 1981 to take employment in the sales field with a
computer manufacturing firm.
DAvID POAGE, Engineering Aide, has resigned his position with the City effective
September 4, 1981 to take employment with a local consulting civil engineering
firm.
The City attempted to fill the Assistant Civil Engineer position, which had become
vacant in September, 19800, and experienced great difficulty in finding qualified
individuals. This position was finally filled in June of 1981 and, again, it has
became vacant.
David Poage's resignation was for reasons of career advancement. David is presently
attending college on a part time basis and working towards his degree in civil
engineering. He is an ambitious individual and his work is of the quality that our
department has set as its standard. I feel that we should attempt to retain David's
employment with the City and that the following be implemented:
Downgrade the Assistant Civil Engineer position to a Jr. Civil Engineer position
with the respective salaries from ($1980 - $2407) to ($1795 - $2183). Promote
David Poage on a closed promotional basis to the new position of Jr. Civil
Engineer at "B" step.

Downgrade the Engineering Aide salary range by 58 from ($1380 - $1677) to ($1311
- $1593) and readvertise to fill this vacant position.
Qualified individuals with civil engineering backgrounds are extremely difficult to
find in today's personnel marketplace as experienced in our previous recruitment
process. It is in the City's best interest to retain experienced employees that we
have previously trained and that are knowledgeable of our operations.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The financial impact to the City will result in a $3,696.00 annual base salary and
the related fringe benefit savings.
