A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AUTHORIZING THE DELETION OF ONE VACANT TREE WORKER POSITION AND THE
ADDITION OF ONE TREE LEADWORKER POSITION TO THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN
WHEREAS, the proposed changes to the City's classification plan are as detailed below:
• Delete a vacant Tree Worker (-1.0 FTE) position in the Parks Division; and
• Add a Tree Leadworker (1.0 FTE) position in the Parks Division; and
WHEREAS, this change will provide immediate direction and counsel to Tree Crew line
staff in order to maintain safe and effective operations; and
WHEREAS, it is more appropriate to have a leadworker manage the crew, consistent
with the supervisory model in other areas of the Parks Division and Public Works Department,
than the Parks Superintendent/City Arborist or the Parks Supervisor who are not in the field; and
WHEREAS, this change results in an annual increase of $13,026 to the City's General
Fund operating budget; and
WHEREAS, the bargaining unit representing the impacted classification has reviewed the
proposed changes and has not brought forth any objections or concerns.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Burlingame finds,
orders and declares that:
1. The Council approves the deletion of a vacant 1.0 FTE Tree Worker position in
the Parks Division; and
2. The Council approves the addition of a 1.0 FTE Tree Leadworker position in the
Parks Division.
