Requests for Hiring Freeze Exemptions Howard V. Gary FROM: City Manager REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: gar. The Miami City Commission, at its Second Public Hearing on the FY'85 Budget held on September 21, 1984, passed a resolution (84-1085) instructing the City r- Manager not to fill 183 vacant positions which existed on September 12, 1984, in the City's work force during the 1984-85 fiscal year without the expressed advance approval of the City Commission. r As of November 28, 1984, records indicate there exists 221 vacant positions. Consistent with the wishes of the City Commission to control and reduce 'S personnel costs, criteria has been established in order to identify �sitions �: _ recommended to be filled. Each Department Director was required to identify bi," •1- those positions considered critical and to justify the urgency of filling those positions at this time. Additionally, Directors were requested to explain the consequences of not Tilling the requested positions. Based upon our evaluation . of the data submitted, 157 positions have been identified as being sufficiently ' critical to recommend exemption from the hiring freeze. Generally, we are recommending exemptions for those positions associated with crime reduction rya.: activities, positions in the Fire Department directly related to providing fire ;.... control activities and positions necessary in Solid Waste to provide an acceptable level of service. Additionally, we are recommending that positions ...;`.., which produce revenue for the city be exempt and those positions funded by non -General Fund revenues also be exempt.

Ma L�Zr£^ff 'C o f Public nformation CITY OF MIAMI. FLORIDA INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: 4 December 1984 FILE: SUBJECT. Impact of Vacancy (Public Relations Agent) IIEFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: The position of Public Relations Agent primarily involves general public relations work, but may also involve some publicity writing, interpreting, translating and other types of work. Because of the overall responsibilities of the OPI, flexibility rather than narrow specialization is required. Here are some examples of work performed: 1) Organizing public relations programs and marketing campaigns under the direction of the Office Manager. 2) Acting as liaison between OPI and visiting groups or individuals, as well as community groups. 3) Coordinating the execution of special events. 4) Writing recognition documents or informative pieces, or providing the background information for these. A consequence of the vacancy not being filled is the shifting of additional responsibilities from this position to the Office Manager, hampering her capacity to conduct fund-raisings, to maintain good public relations with individuals and organizations, and to carry out inherent administrative functions. Another consequence is a diminished capacity to respond to the unforeseen needs of the Mayor and the Commissioners in the production and presentation of recognition documents. Finally, the Office is limited in its ability to carry out its general public relations functions, for example, with respect to the visits of journalists, governmental representatives and other VIPs, as well as with respect to community relations projects, festivals, and special events such as beauty pageants, official inaugurations, sports competitions, etc. S\� 84-1441 r TO Albert Johnson Budget Analyst FROM Yirzinia F. do l'6 M ge �.;.�� e�•�I P4�lbfic/ Information CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: 4 December 1984 SUBJECT Impact of Vacancy (Publicity Writer) REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: FILE: The Publicity Writer position at the Office of Public information entails a wide range of functions, some of which overlap those of other positions, but the following are the main ones: 1) Writing informative pieces such as articles, pamphlets, news releases, public service announcements and brochures designed to inform the citizens about City programs, projects, events and available services. 2) Writing recognition documents for individuas and organizations, as requested by the Mayor and the Commissioners. c - 3) Translating informative pieces or recognition documents from <....t English into Spanish and viceversa. 4) Acting as liaison between OPI and visiting journalists, dig- nitaries or special representatives of groups, organizations, cities and countries. 5) Designing brochures, pamphlets and other publicity materials. 6) Participating in the arrangements for special events such as Miss Universe, the Hydroplane Regatta and street festivals. A consequence of this position not being filled is a diminished capacity of OPI to implement publicity campaigns, to coordinate special events, and to maintain the public informed. Occasional disruptions of OPI's scheduled activities may also occur, for example, when a large number of proclamations, commendations or certificates of recognition are requested by the Mayor of the Commission on short notice. Additionally, certain events may not receive coverage and follow-up up publicity in the form of press releases, articles or public service announcements. The ability to host visiting VIPs and to carry out attendant activ- ities is also hampered. Finally, periodical or scheduled publications such as Cityscape, Miami Pulse and neighborhood brochures may not be completed on deadline. 84-1441 e •.wr �.t1'I _•.7x�. ir'�'i.

Furthermore, the system of`6hecks and balances as is presently structured to prevent fraud in the approval of multi -family rehabili- tation loans will be seriously jeopardized, and future federal funding of the City's multi -family rehabilitation programs will be problematic as it is based on the program's past performance and compliance with federal regulations.

This is a line supervisor position with six line staff reporting to this supervisor. The position requires substantial technical expertise in housing construction, estimating and inspection. The Senior Housing Rehabilitation Estimator is the "quality control" and fraud checker for the Housing Division in the Single Family program. :'lain duties include reviewing and approving all contractor's proposal to see that the proposal meets all identified housing code deficiencies, the prices are reason- able and the -work is an appropriate remedy for the deficiency. The Senior Estimator also conducts the final inspection on each cor:pleted job as a check on the work of the estimator. The Senior Estimator is responsible for staff" training, con- tractor relations and specific problem solving beyond the ability of the line estimator. IiI. In the absence of a Senior Estimator, the program supervisor has had to assume the duties of the Senior Estimator. Since the program supervisor is not a construction specialist it is probable that there will be a case slow down of approximately twenty-five percent. of the five estimators currently on staff only one has been with the program for more than one year and only one of the other four has an extensive rehabil- itation program background prior to joining the city staff. Two of the estimators are still in their probation period. The Principal Housing Specialist is not qualified as a Reha- bilitation Construction Specialist. While basic construction problems can be dealt with more detailed or extensive problems will have to be postponed or temporary help obtained to deal with these problems. Since the City's ability to obtain CDBG funds for rehabilitation is condition on the ability of the City to perform its stated goals, failure to fill this positic could jeopardize future CDBG funding as cell as slow rehabil- itation efforts. !V. nvropriations: ;25,230 Fundds: C.D.

This staff person also reviews contractor proposals for correcting such deficiencies checking that the proposal meets all identified housing code deficiencies, that prices are reasonable and that the work is an appropriate remedy for the deficiency. The Estimator then inspects the work as it progresses and certifies progress payments. The estimators are carrying a workload o� fifty-five cases each. Based on program goals, this workload is about twice as much as they should be carrying at a single time. The addition of another estimator will partially reduce the work -load, neardr.• to what each estimator 'should be carrying. III. If an additional estimator is not added, then the current staff will continue to carry a higher workload than they should be doing. This has already led to delays in handling individual cases as well as overall delays in meeting pro- jected case goals. Estimators are having to concentrate on cases in construction to the detriment of conducting new inspections. This is skewing the production of cases so that there is not a steady progression of cases moving from initial inspection through construction. The addition of another estimator will provide substantial help in changing this situation. IV. Appropriation: $21,757 Fund: C.D.

I iLL OI'FIC j Salar-r AD ropr iation: 325,230.00 `..ie Personnel Of-_ca: vacancy in the Recruitment and Selection Section of the Department of human Resources is a critical position. 1 tin analysis of our i.rorkload for PY 84-85 indicates that it takes three professional staff members to process 17,000 personnel ae- tions and counsel 6,900 employees. We are novr short by one pro- fessional staff member to assist in this processing. Additionally, we have to process immediately 1,244 Fire Fighter applications and 801 Public Service Aide applications. Accom- panying this process is the computation of veteran's prez"erence claims, time -in -grade appeals, and the processing of pending lawsuits. G The consequences of not fii?_ng the position of Personnel Officer are as follo►rs: (A) Fifty percent delay in classified and unclassified recruit- ment. This delay will make it impossible for the City to fill other critical vacancies, as in the Police and Fire Departments. (3) fifty percent delay in counseling applicants i-rho seek employment opportunities. The Recruitment Section handles an average of 90-100 telephone inquiries plus an applicant flow of approximately 35-40 visits per day. If these in- quiries are not adequately and sensitively handled, it is our e:;perience that distraught applicants trill take their complaints to higher sources such as members of the City Manager's staff or City Commissioners.

There are three to five grant rounds per year from which the City is eligible to deceive funds for park construction. How- ever, all the grant programs require matching funds which are not currently available from City resources. The adopt -a -park program and other activities which raise funds in the private sector are important as they can be a source of matching funds for the grant programs. The Department's participation in the Large Scale Development Committee and in the review of other projects initiated by the City will be hindered. o Parks General Foreman: This vacancy is in the Operations Di- vision and is responsible for the day to day scheduling and supervision of the mobile crews which maintain the City's parks and other public properties irl the South Zone. The South Zone includes all public properties south of the Miami River, including Kennedy Park, Peacock Park, City Hall and Jose Marti Park. The crews are scheduled to maintain these and other high priority sites every two weeks. Other sites are scheduled for maintenance less often. The scheduling and supervision of 84•-1441 84-1442 R_ h. ¢: these crews must take into consideration major special events, rainy days and leave time. The Parks General Foreman also per- forms inspections of playground equipment, ballfields, playing courts, etc., and coordinates the repair work, as well as work orders received from recreation personnel. ;. Currently, one Parks General Foreman is attempting to do the job of two. If this position remains vacant, it will only be a mat- ter of time before the effectiveness and efficiency of the mo- bile crews begins to be adversely affected. o Secretary I: This vacant position should be filled so that the Cultural Division can more effectively administer and monitor the numerous grants for events funded by the City Commission. In fiscal year 84-85, the Cultural Division will evaluate an estimated 40 to 50 special funding requests. Of these, approx- imately 20 to 25 will be funded by the City Commission, requir- ing that agreements be negotiated and administered and events be ' monitored. The Division will also negotiate and administer 24 grant agreements for festivals, and 5 to 10 miscellaneous cul- tural events, monitor those events and provide a summer cultural program with its corresponding agreements. This position is r responsible for the numerous clerical duties generated by these grant processes. Other clerical staff must carry this addition- ' al burden, until such time as this position is filled, resulting in difficulties in coordination and reduced efficiencies in work >; flow. 4 o Nursery Tender: This position, funded by the Community Develop- ment Department, is responsible for maintaining the 14,000 trees b" for the Community Development Tree Program. During fiscal year 1983-84, $83,500 in CDBG funds was spent to purchase 14,000 trees for the Community Development Street Tree Planting Program. The trees were purchased in graduated sizes so that better prices would be paid for smaller trees. The ¢rs;_ smaller trees would then be nurtured until they were ready to N' plant. As these trees grow, they must either be repotted to larger containers, or placed in the ground. If this work is "} not done on a timely schedule, growth is retarded and the trees will eventually die as they become root -bound. If this position remains vacant, an estimated 10% loss in trees may result as the Operations Division lacks the manpower to re- pot the trees. 3 10 C, 84-1.441 84-1442 • Groundstender: This vacancy at the Melreese Golf Course has im- paired the delivery of maintenance services. Various mainte- nance schedules such as greens, fairways, and rough mowing, bunker edging and raking, verticutting, irrigation and general ground maintenance have all suffered. Schedule delays result in less attractive and unplayable conditions, creating slower play and decreased revenues. a, Greenskeeper: This vacancy, at the Melreese Golf Course, is also a vital position in maintaining a high level of maintenance services. The care for golf greens and other grounds, which re- quires considerable knowledge in the treatment and care of dif- ferent types of grasses, trees, other shrubberies and chemicals, must now be passed down to an inexperienced subordinate, and may require extensive hours of supervision by the Golf Course Super- intendent, thereby taking away from his other duties. The golf course business in South Florida is extremely competi- tive; there are too many other courses for the general public to play if substandard facilities lead to their dissatisfaction. Decreased revenues would soon result. SU4: me cc: Helen Winter, Accountant Supervisor, Department of Parks and Recreation t 9 84-•1441 84-1442. :.•. a-. '".., � - �, I Howard V.

This level involves the overall supervision of a major facility, including the planning and coordination of various activities, supervision of subordinate personnel, fees and charges, various reporting activities, and inter- action with the public via daily contact and community recreation programs. The absence of this position would result in the supervi- sion of a new major facility within the park system, Jose Marti, by a Recreation Specialist, rather than a Senior Spe- cialist.

Gary City tanager CITY OF MIAMI. FLORIOA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM FROM: Arrio Rodriguez, Director Planning Department DATE: December 4, 1984 SUBJECT: Essential Personnel Vacancies REFERENCE3: ENCLOSURES: FILE: This Department has carefully evaluated our existing personnel vacancies and finds that all five vacant positions would perform critical services for the City, and that they are essential for the proper operation of the Planning Department. The considerable number of complex and legally required matters which are assigned throughout the year to an already over extended and limited staff, combined with the possibility of 5 unfilled top administrative and professional level vacancies, would create a situation that would seriously impair our ability to perform in the professional, effective and efficient manner that is expected of this Department. G Of the 5 positions, 4 represent approximately 300 of the professional staff assigned to this Department, and the 5th position is approximately 20% of the number of Top Administrators in the Department. This, added to 4 extended maternity leaves to occur during this fiscal year would - put close to a halt on the functions of some of our very specialized divisions. Following you will find the positions grouped under 2 catergories: "Grant Funding" and "Critical Services". Grant Funding: 'v1 Planner III (2222). This vacant position is the Chief of the Neighborhood Division coordinating the work of subordinate planners in contacting citizens and making recommendations in the Community Development Target Areas. The person in this position works with residents of the target areas and must demonstrate particular sensitivity to representing their needs. Not filling the position, would result in having no planners assigned to the Allapattah area which is approximately 1/6 of the City and with a population of approximately 60,000 people, since the planner presently assigned to work in that area is doing so in addition to his :aajor responsibilities in the Little Havana and Latin Quarter area. In addition, inability to fill the position hampers this Department's efforts to recruit and hire qualified minority candidates for management positions in the Department. This position is funded by the Community Development Block Grant and the FY'85 Appropriation is $37,190. Page 1 of 3 84•-1441 84-444-4 = ": Howard V. Gary City Manager Critical Services December 49 1984 Planner II (2221). This vacant position is in the General Planning section and prepares a) recommendations for the proposed impact fee ordinance; b) analysis of project feasibility and cash flow pro forma economic models; and c) computer manipulation and updating of the Urban Information System from field surveys. This position also assists in the preparation of the City-wide Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy and County -wide Strategic Plan. The decision not to fill this position would result in significantly delaying the completion of the Impact Fee Ordinance that, when finished and if approved by the City Commission, would result in approximately $2 million/year revenues, or approximately $20 million by Year 2000 for impact capital projects; it would also curtail our ability to respond to more than 200 in-depth data and analysis requests by other departments. The FY185 Appropriation is $39,315. Planner II (2221). This vacant position is in the Urban Design section and prepares planning and zoning proposals and answers citizen requests in the high growth areas of Brickell, Downtown, Omni/Midtown and around the Metrorail Rapid Transit stations. Typical assignments have included street clocks, sidewalk vendors, and sidewalk cafes. Current assignments include the preparation of the citywide Housing Trust Fund (whereby developers of projects in certain of these areas will provide funds for housing in City neighborhoods) and the Brickell Area Transportation Study. In addition, this division of the Department (5 professional staff members with 2 at the Administrator level (Planner III), and 3 at the professional planner level) will only have one of the Planner III's full-time, since the other Planner III and one of the Planners will be on maternity leave part of the time, and the other two Planner II's are vacant and subject to the freeze at this time. Not filling this position will seriously affect the functioning of this division. The FY185 Appropriation for this position is $41,018. Planner I (2220). This vacant position is in the General Planning section; principal assignments are the preparation of 1) preliminary recommendations for the City's Capital Improvement Program; b) data, estimates, and forecasts of both Citywide and target socioeconomic variables; and c) special assignments applying socioeconomic data and forecasts to the solution of particular problems in City neighborhoods i.e., capital improvement projects which may impact City neighborhoods. The City has the legal obligation of preparing a Capital Improvement Page 2 of 3 ^&` S 84-1441 Howard V.

Planner 11 (2221). This new transportation planner position was recently created in the Urban Design division following the approval from the City Commission on the recommendation by the City Manager to a) start a Citywide transportation plan, and b) evaluate methods of deterring through traffic from impacting City neighborhoods. Failure to fill this position will continue our present reliance on the ability and availability of County Staff to respond to requests of the City Commission and staff pertaining to the traffic impact of various planning and zoning items throughout the City; it could also affect our ability to arrive at City policy recommendations on area wide transportation matters affecting the City. The FY'85 Appropriation for this position is $32,157.

Odi6" - 3t� s4-1441 10 �4 BUILDING :AND VEiiICLl; MAI:v'ILI ANCE DEPARTMENT One Automotive Mechanic - This position is regarded as critical to this Department because of its direct relationship to downtime of the City's light vehicular fleet. The percentage of vehicles down for repairs, including Police units, has accelerated to an average of nearly 25% on certain days. This increase is due to the rapid growth rate of the City's light vehicle fleet over the past few fiscal years, without corres- ponding additions of mechanical support. At the end of fiscal year 1984, the fleet of the Motor Pool Maintenance Division totaled 946 vehicles. Of the total vehicles, 644 are assigned to the Police and Fire Departments. As it is essential to have vehicles avail- able for these emergency services, more than 1,000 hours of overtime has to be assigned during the last fiscal year in order to support daily demands. At the present, the mechanic : vehicle ratio is 1:45 in the Motor Pool MaintenancetZivision compared to the national average of 1:25. it is anticipated that the addition of another mechanic to this Division will continue efforts to decrease downtime to a more reasonable level, and will obviously increase the quality of service performed. Without the addition of this position, to the Motor Pool Maintenance Division, the trend toward balancing the mechanic : vehicle ratio to manageable levels will be stalled. This action will have negative effects on employee moral and performance. However,* the most nega- tive consequence will be that the City's fleet will not receive the additional.attention that is most needed. One Automotive Parts _Specialist II - The need for this position is directly related to the issues expressed in the statements on Automotive Mechanic. This position, however, provides support to the mechanical staff through the ordering, issuance and control of replace- ment parts for the City's fleet. At present, because of staff shortage, parts are not being issued and re- corded as efficiently as possible. The result of this action delays mechanics and slows work order completion. 31S - 1 - _ ...e..ww,.M - .. � -.. .. .. � .�..♦�•�►.��-.t..{..:.:.y.:� �i''wwlol—w..r.�.�.ri.•. 84"1441 . -_''1 w'. .

The addition of this support function will allow for efficient and timely ordering and issuance of parts and supplies while most importantly, maintaining protection of the asset inventory system. To allow this pcsition to remain unfilled will cause continued strain on the inventory ordering, issuance and control system. The Automotive Parts Specialist position is an integral part of the overall vehicle maintenance and repair system. Without full system balance, the resulting product will be less than can be produced with it. Two Electrical Line Workers - These two vacant posi- tions represent fifty per cent (50%) of the total budgeted positions for this classification. The Elec- trical Line Workers are responsible for the installa- tion, maintenance and repair of all City owned major electrical services. This includes in excess of 400 street ligfit�s and required power. The Lineworker is also responsible for the 13,000 volt primary cable at the Miami Stadium and the 4,000 volt cable at the Orange Bowl. The staff of this unit also maintains a total of seventy-five (75) transformers City-wide. The line - worker has responsibility for all Park lighting, twelve (12) softball fields, five (5) track and football fields., ten (10) baseball fields, four (4) handball courts, seventeen (17) tennis courts and all security lights City-wide. In addition to this work, all event lighting is the responsibility of this staff. The most major of these are the Orange Bowl Parade, half-time show and other King Orange events. This work consists of setting twenty poles, installing overhead and underground cables, installing temporary switch panels, approxi- mately 360 flood lights, electrical service for tele- vision networks, trucks, trailers and talent booths. This work is similarly required for the Grand Prix{ Race in February with different configurations and amounts. 3t co - 2 - - .•. •r .—�'a��M.lwr.►1fa.Fr- .. �...1.w��eww�s.a...�r......�._...-_�... —-.w..r.r.. s..�._..�«.....�...�.'.�-�ri9is.�ri.'t7r. �eiR..Li.iiY!!i� 84-1441 _.:. 84- Ito BUILDING AND VEHICLE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT (cont.)
