" January 8, 1979 RECOMMENDED CHANGES The following changes in the Manning Plan for the City of San Marcos are made after much study and eliberation by this councilman. The changes have nothing to do with personalities but are the changes I feel will add to the economy of this City by eliminating unnecessary positions and streamlining departments for more economical and efficient operation. I Projected Saving in Salary 23,907.00 1. The A. first areas would be the City Managers Office Personnel would all be under this office and personnel clerk assigned to keep records and other clerical work. The Legal Department would be dissolved and Legal Services provided on retainer. The salaries for Legal at this time are $36,959.00 plus the necessity for hiring outside legal help to defend our City - ie., Baccus Case $2,500.00 for a case that was thrown out before it reached trial. 26,959.00 B. The saving could or would be $36,959.00 less $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 retainer. C. Chief Sanitarian - I feel this position could be handled with more efficiency if filled by a full-time sanitation security clerk. We are paying $18,203.00 for part-time and have an L.V.N. working full-time for $10,959.00. 7,245.00 I 2. Assistant Manager A. I would recommend combining Community Development with position of Assistant Manger and due to the deletion of funds in Community Development would recommend - B. Abolish Rehab Officer 16,295.00 C. Abolish 1 Community Development Specialist and give the duties of inspecting as well as appraising to other specialist. 14,811.00 D. Abolish 1 Public Works Inspector 16,295.00 E. Administrative Assistant I recommend this position devote full-time to ferreting out sources of government grants and preparing applications for these grants and following up on applications. 3. Parks and Recreation 25,000.00 A. I propose this division be combined with Administrative Services with Recreation Director working closely with Physical Education Department of University to have interns as well as P. E. practice teachers to assist in the Recreation program. Administrative is already attending to building and ground maintenance. There would be no need for an Assistant Parks and Recreation Director as well as Building Maintenance Foreman, Superintendent of Parks, and Ground Maintenance Foreman. When new Recreation Director is hired, I propose this person start at bottom step in salary schedule.
