SUMMARY: As a result of changes to the mission of the District over the past several years, the General Manager has been working with Division Managers on plans for reorganizing the Water Resources and Planning and Engineering Divisions. The retirement of Water Resources Division Manager, Joe Oliver, on August 1, 2016, presents an opportune time to put those plans into action.

The Water Resources Manager position would be eliminated. The two divisions would be combined into a Water Resources and Engineering Division, with the exception of the three-person Fisheries Staff, who would report directly to the General Manager.

The Planning and Engineering Manager/District Engineer, retitled Water Resources and Engineering Manager, would retain direct supervision for the Water Resources Engineer position, as well as two first-line supervisors. The Senior Hydrogeologist would assume direct supervisory duties for the Associate Hydrologist and Hydrography Programs Coordinator positions. The Riparian Projects Coordinator would assume direct supervisory duties for the River Maintenance Specialist and River Maintenance Worker positions.

Additionally, it is proposed that the positions of Community Relations Liaison, Project Manager, and Conservation Technician I/II, currently shown on the District Organization Chart as “unfunded,” be eliminated.

RECOMMENDATION: Authorize a change from the current District Organization Chart (Exhibit 3-A) to reflect the organization changes described above. (Exhibit 3-B).

IMPACTS TO STAFF/RESOURCES: None
