Receive and file the FY 2021-2022 Mid-Year Budget Update <br />March 1, 2022 <br />Page 6 <br />budgeted positions. As such, there is no net fiscal impact to the budget associated with <br />the creation of the classifications. <br />Library: The Library is requesting the following workforce changes to streamline <br />departmental staffing and onboarding processes. The Library is requesting the deletion <br />of a Bibliographic Technician, Youth Services Technician, and Supervising Library <br />Services Assistant to eliminate solitary positions that do not correspond with the Library’s <br />paraprofessional promotional ladder. The deletion of these positions streamlines and <br />clarifies the paraprofessional promotional ladder, allowing Library Service Assistants to <br />promote to Library Technicians and subsequently to Senior Library Technicians. The <br />deleted positions will be reallocated to two Senior Library Technicians and one Library <br />Technician. Additionally, to reduce the number of part-time personnel in order to save on <br />recruitment and training, the department is requesting the addition of one Library <br />Technician and one Library Services Assistant to be funded with salary savings from the <br />consolidation and elimination of part-time positions. Furthermore, the Parks, Recreation <br />& Community Services Agency is reassigning one Management Analyst to Library to <br />provide administrative support for fiscal operations. <br />Parks, Recreation & Community Services Agency (PRCSA): PRCSA is requesting <br />the following workforce changes to promote programmatic efficiencies, supervision and <br />recent operational changes. To provide appropriate supervision for various programs, <br />PRCSA is requesting the deletion of one Recreation and Community Events Supervisor <br />and one Recreation Leader, and reallocating those positions to two Recreation and <br />Community Services Supervisors. Funding for remainder of the fiscal year will come from <br />the deleted positions and salary savings from vacancies during the first half of the fiscal <br />year, resulting in no net fiscal impact. As mentioned above, PRCSA is requesting to <br />reassign the Management Analyst position to Library to complete the final transition of <br />Library services. <br />Police Department: As requested by the City Council, the Police Department has <br />initiated a strategic plan to reallocate $1.07M funding proposal from the Metropolitan <br />Division to focus on youth investment services, trauma-informed training, sensitivity <br />training in interacting with impacted communities such as the LGBTQ community, and <br />re-organized the Department to include a Community Engagement / Family and Youth <br />Services Division. Further youth services investment in PAAL and the Family Justice <br />Center have been implemented and Police personnel will also be engaging local Santa <br />Ana-based nonprofits for gang/trauma prevention, mitigation and response. <br />Public Works Agency (PWA): The Public Works Agency (PWA) is involved in numerous <br />capital improvement projects (CIP) for FY 2021-22, including $14.6 million in Revive <br />Santa Ana projects. As such, PWA is proposing additional staff to the CIP team, including <br />a Projects Manager and two Engineering Technicians. Budget from contractual services <br />savings will be reallocated to fund these three positions, resulting in no net fiscal impact <br />to the budget.
