RESOLUTION NO. 05 -4358
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE
CITY REORGANIZING THE PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, after careful review of the City's FY 2005 -2006 budget, it has been determined greater
reductions to the budget are necessary due to unforeseen impacts to the City's finances in the coming
months and years; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to take prudent but necessary actions to modify the City's
budget and personnel table of organization; and
WHEREAS, to implement necessary cost and organizational efficiencies, the City Council reviewed
and approved a plan to reorganize the Public Services Department to realize cost reductions of over
$184,000 and increase operational efficiency in the department; and
WHEREAS, at the Interim City Manager's direction, the City's Management Team studied the City's
budget and recommended budget reductions for the FY 2005 -2006 Budget totaling $1,511,365 from the
General Fund, Special Revenue Funds, and Capital Improvement Program. Most of these
recommendations were approved on Monday, May 9, 2005, when the City Council met to review the
proposed FY 2005 -06 budget. After careful review of the proposed budget, the City Council took further
prudent actions to modify the City's budget and personnel table of organization saving an additional $73,000
per year; and
WHEREAS, since then, several unforeseen issues have arisen which will adversely affect the
City's finances and delicately balanced budget for FY 2005 -2006 and beyond. The City of Temple City is
now facing the certainty of exorbitant expenses related to updating the sewer system in at least two
sections of the City, installing and maintaining NPDES approved devices on all the storm drains in the
City, and funding ongoing CRA and other existing or new litigation. All this has now required the City
Council to consider further cost savings for the fiscal year 2005 -2006 budget; and
WHEREAS, with some vacancies, absences, and changes in personnel duties, there currently exits
a unique opportunity to reorganize the Public Services Department to realize necessary cost reductions and
at the same time make the department more efficient, reflecting the recently modified priorities for the
department; and
WHEREAS, as a service organization, the greatest opportunity for City to realize cost reductions is
through changes in personnel:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMPLE CITY, CALIFORNIA,
DOES RESOLVE, DECLARE, DETERMINE, AND ORDER REORGANIZATION OF THE PUBLIC
SERVICES DEPARTMENT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Eliminate one Code Enforcement Officer position for an annual savings of about
$58,200.
SECTION 2. Modify the Position of Public Safety Manager to the position of Public Safety Officer
for an annual savings of about $10,300.
SECTION 3. Eliminate the position of Director of Public Services for an annual savings of
approximately $128,600.
Resolution No. 05 -4358
