REVISER 3/6/08 (Abstract Only) ~" <br />Revisions in Bold Italic <br />Change Recreation and Parks Department Title to Parks and Recreation Department <br />The title of Recreation and Parks Department no longer reflects the department's current <br />and future emphasis and focus on parks and parks operation. It is proposed that the <br />Department's title be changed from Recreation and Parks Department to Parks and <br />Recreation Department. The Recreation and Parks Advisory Council (RPAC) has also <br />discussed the proposed title change and concurs. The change in the department title will <br />not affect the responsibilities or salary of the incumbents or the Department's reporting <br />relationship to the County Manager. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Salaries for staff positions will not be changed as a result of the <br />approval of these recommendations. Future review of positions through the pay and <br />classification study now being conducted may involve changes. All of the departments will be <br />evaluating and developing a process to implement the new department title for uniforms, <br />vehicles and other related departmental equipment and materials along with associated <br />costs. <br />RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the changes in <br />the County's organizational structure as follows: <br />1. Merge the Finance, Purchasing and Budget functions into. a combined department <br />with the new title of Financial Services Department; <br />2. Merge the Land Records/GIS Department with the Tax Assessor Department with the <br />title of the merged department being the Tax Assessor Department; <br />3. Change the title of the Department of Human Rights and Relations to the Human <br />Rights and Relations Office; <br />4. Change the title of Information Services to Information Technologies; <br />5. Change the title of the Personnel Department to Human Resources Department; <br />6. Change the title of Emergency Management Department to Emergency Services <br />Department; and <br />7.
