The grounds are maintained on a daily basis through various maintenance tasks (e.g., <br />mowing, landscaping, trash pick-up, repairs, fountain maintenance and power washing) as well <br />as the collection of unattended property in the Civic Center area. These items must be bagged, <br />tagged, and transported for temporary storage and retrieval. <br />In order to closely manage and facilitate this process and in light of recent litigation, the Executive <br />Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services is requesting the addition of two <br />Maintenance Assistant positions. These additional positions will be responsible for the process of <br />posting and/or distributing pre and post collection notices, collecting unattended property, and <br />properly tagging and storing unattended property found in the Civic Center. Additionally, job <br />duties will include the management of the stored property and responding to requests to retrieve <br />property in accordance with the City's policy. These staff members will be trained to quickly and <br />competently respond to health and safety concerns regarding conditions in the Civic Center on <br />weekdays and weekends. They will coordinate with the Santa Ana Police Department, the <br />pavement cleaning contractor and the landscape contractor regarding the collection of <br />unattended property to ensure adherence to City policies and ensure that the contractors are able <br />to perform their duties. Some general maintenance work may be completed by these individuals <br />on an as -needed basis. <br />The Agency is reallocating funds within the Civic Center Authority Maintenance budget to fund <br />these positions. <br />55C-1 <br />
