VI.d. Reorganization of the Facilities, Maintenance and Operations Department to expedite Bond Project Construction
Recommended Motion:

Approve the recommended reorganization of the Facilities, Maintenance and Operations Department to expedite Bond Project Construction.





Rationale:

Following the Board of Education decision to expedite Bond funded projects and subsequent bond sales, District staff have developed a reorganization plan for the Facilities, Maintenance and Operations Department that will provide the capacity to complete the Bond program within the requisite timeline and as efficiently and effectively as possible. 

Current Situation

Currently, the Facilities, Maintenance and Operations Department has one Director, one manager and one supervisor to oversee 72 permanent employees and lead a wide range of district functions including but not limited to; 

  1. Planning, outreach and construction of all Bond projects, 

  2. Planning, outreach and construction of all non-Bond construction projects, 

  3. Management and completion of facility repairs,

  4. Management and completion of regular, preventive, and deferred maintenance, 

  5. Management of custodial operations, landscaping services, 

  6. Energy management, 

  7. Management of warehouse and mail services, 

  8. Management of facility rentals, fleet services, communication services, reproduction services, and 

  9. Ensuring compliance with numerous Federal, State and Local laws and regulations.

Rationale for Reorganization

The expedited sale of all $150 million in Measure M bonds requires 85% funds to be committed within three years and 100% of the funds to be spent within the next five years.  In order to effectively and efficiently implement the Bond Program within this aggressive timeline, staff is recommending a reorganization of the Facilities, Maintenance and Operations Department.  This proposed reorganization is will accomplish the following goals:

  1. Reduce the amount of Bond Program funds expended on  outside consulting services to a minimum.

  2. Increase internal personnel resources to focus on Bond Program implementation.

  3. Improve service levels to school sites, DJUSD staff, and community groups by streamlining associated services leadership. Minimize impacts to the General and Facilities Funds

The proposed reorganization includes the following highlights:

  1. Replacement of the Director of Facilities, Maintenance and Operations to Executive Director: Capital Operations. This position would provide for overall leadership of the departments and would be funded at 60% Facilities funds and 40% Bond funds.

  2. Replacement of the Manager of Maintenance and Operations to Director II: Maintenance and Operations. This position would provide for overall leadership of the Maintenance and Operations department, grounds services, and custodial services. This position will be funded by 100% Facilities funds.

  3. Replace the Manager IV: Supervisor of Custodial Services to Manager IV: Facility Operations with a modified salary schedule (see attached ALT salary schedule).  This position would provide overall leadership of custodial services and Facilities Use. This position will be funded by 75% General fund and 25% Facilities fund.

  4. Creation of a Facilities Project Manager . This position will provide overall leadership for all Facilities Projects, both bond and non-bond funded. This position will be funded by 10% Facilities funds and 90% Bond Funds.












 
Financial Impact:
This proposed reorganization is cost neutral to the General and Facilities funds and salaries will cost approximately $155,000 plus statutory benefits annually from Bond funds for the duration of the Bond Program.
