FUNDING REQUIREMENTS:
The FY 18-19 Budget as adopted includes sufficient funding for this re -organization.
DISCUSSION:
On July 1, 2017, the City took over responsibility for managing harbor operations from the
Orange County Sheriff. Since that time, the function has resided in both the Public Works
Department and the City Manager's Office. The staffing has consisted of part-time
employees located at Marina Park. Staff is proposing adding new job descriptions and
classifications to be included in the salary schedule.
At the Study Sessions of June 12, 2018 and June 26, 2018, the City Council discussed
the City's harbor operation and provided direction on its organizational structure moving
into the future. This action will create a Harbor Department and will be staffed as provided
below:
Position Title
FTE
Harbormaster
1.0
Lead Harbor Services
Worker(s)
2.64
Department Assistant
0.75
Harbor Services
Worker(s)
Part -Time
5.0
Department Total
9.39
The Human Resources Department and City Manager's Office created the job
classifications and salary schedules as proposed. The positions were created
considering the following factors, 1) the duties of the position, 2) a survey of 12 harbors
in the State of California comparing job classes, size duties and salary, 3) internal
comparisons with duties and responsibilities similar to the new positions.
The structure of the new Harbor Department provides the City Council with the flexibility
to expand or contract the department relatively easily as the Department will have one
full-time employee and 8.39 full-time equivalent (FTE) part-time employees. Should the
City Council wish to expand the duties of the Department in the years to come, the salary
ranges and job descriptions should be reviewed and adjusted to include the additional
responsibilities.
Over the course of the last year, the staff and City Council have evaluated the role of the
Harbor Resources Division within both the Public Works Department and the Harbor
Department. With the elimination of the Harbor Resources Division, the two employees
within the Division will transition to the Engineering Division of the Public Works
Department where they will provide support to the Harbor Department on capital projects

(such as large and small dredging projects, beach nourishment, the Regional General

projects (including permit review and approval).
In addition, the City's Code Enforcement Supervisor will be assigned to the Department
for the next year to directly work on longstanding Code Enforcement issues on the Harbor
and adjacent to it, as well as to train the Harbor Services Workers (including Leads) on
code enforcement policies and procedures.
The new Department will focus on a number of issues in the coming two years.
