In 2011, Community Services implemented pooled staffing, combining the titles of various positions into one title of Maintenance Worker. After much consideration and input from staff, it has been determined that the pooled staffing is less effective for the current needs of the department. Additionally, the generic Maintenance Worker job descriptions do not best represent the actual duties being performed by the staff. Therefore, the Department would like to return to a system of classifying maintenance workers by their specific job families. This change will also help the Department to realize increased clarity in designating staff to appropriate funds and tasks.
