BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Property Management is responsible for maintaining County property which includes both buildings and grounds. Building Maintenance Worker duties focus on building maintenance, while Maintenance Worker duties focus on grounds maintenance. There is a current need at the Calistoga Fairgrounds to implement grounds projects related to fire, seasonal and routine maintenance, and security around the administration building. These grounds projects are appropriate for a Maintenance Worker. Due to the current need for grounds maintenance over building maintenance, a Maintenance Worker - Limited Term is being requested to meet fire prevention standards and other grounds projects during a specific time frame.
Therefore, the Director of Human Resources and the Director of Public Works requests adoption of a Resolution amending the Departmental Allocation List for the Public Works Department, effective October 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024, with a temporary net increase of one 1.0 FTE, and a slight decrease to the General Fund.
