Acting Appointment - Judi Ormsby
RECOMMENDATION: That Judi Ormsby be appointed as an Acting Recreation
Supervisor, with a 10% increase in salary, until such time as the
Community Services Department reorganization is complete and full
staffing levels reached and that such change be effective 5/19/80.
DISCUSSION
Royleen White, Community Services Director, has requested that Judi
Ormsby be appointed to an acting position of Recreation Supervisor in
accordance with Section 3.J. of the Personnel Rules and Regulations
which states in part;
"If it is necessary for an employee to work out
of his class for a substantial period of time
exceeding one month, request shall be made by
the department for reclassification to a more
appropriate class or to an acting appointment."
There are no guidelines in the Personnel Rules and Regulations fo~ an
acting appointment, but recent appointments have been made with a 10%
salary increase.
Ms. Ormsby began working out of class when the departure of both Sue
Dillion and Tom Matoney (4/18/80) left her with the added responsibility
of coordinating the contract classes and the parks and playground p~o-
grams. As of 5/19/80, she had been working out of class for 30 days
and was eligible for temporary reclassification.
This action was not taken at that time for two reasons:
Tom Maloney was to have been appointed to an Acting Recreation Specialist
position, with the workload more evenly distributed, but left prior to a
full reorganization (4/18/80).
2. The Acting Recreation Director was waiting for the new Community Services
Director to start to make any staffing changes.

With the confusion in the Department, at the time, this matter was
overlooked until Royleen became aware of the Acting Appointment pro-
visions.
This action is being requested as an Acting Appointment rather than
a temporary reclassification because Ms. Ormsby is not on an eligibility
list or otherwise eligible to be hired as a Supervisor, and she is not
fully assuming the duties expected of a Recreation Supervisor.
This incident raises two problems which will be addressed by this
Department.
The lack of any established guidelines for an Acting Appointment
and/or clear distinction between temporary/acting/emergency appoint-
ments in the Rules and Regulations.
The lack of full supervisor awareness of the policies regarding
working out of class and concurrent lack of a system for identi-
fying and dealing fairly with such employees.
Both issues will be addressed a~d submitted for Council approval as
appropriate.
