Department: Public Works and Utilities
Cost Center: 5001/6001/6101
For Agenda of: 11/18/2025
Placement: Consent
Estimated Time: N/A
FROM: Whitney McDonald, City Manager
Prepared By: Scott Collins, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT: CONSOLIDATION OF THE PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES
DEPARTMENTS AND ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW DIRECTOR POSITION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution:
1. Combining the Public Works Department and the Utilities Department into a single
Department of Public Works and Utilities.
2. Establishing a new Director of Public Works and Utilities classification to oversee
the City’s Public Works and Utilities functions; and
3. Reclassifying the existing Public Works Director and Utilities Director positions into
Assistant Director positions, one overseeing the Public Works operational branch
and one overseeing the Utilities operational branch; and
4. Confirming that the Director of Public Works and Utilities shall assume all
responsibilities and authorities individually referenced in the San Luis Obispo
Municipal Code for the Public Works Director, Utilities Director, and department
head; and
5. Establishing an updated regular employee salary schedule effective November 20,
2025, as required by California Public Employees’ Retirement System .
POLICY CONTEXT
In accordance with Section 204 of the City Charter, the Council shall provide by ordinance
or resolution the creation of new departments or consolidation or alteration of
departments after obtaining and considering the recommendations of the City Manager.
In addition, per the City’s Fiscal Policy Section 11.A.3 (FY 2023–25 Financial Plan, p.
420), the City Council must authorize and approve funding to increase headcount for
regular full-time equivalent (FTE) positions in order to manage workforce growth and
overall staffing costs. While this recommended action does not result in net additional
FTEs, it represents an organizational realignment of existing positions. In accordance
with Fiscal Policy requirements, the proposed reorganization has been evaluated based
on:
Page 45 of 509
Item 6f
The necessity and expected outcomes of the proposed alignment;
The associated staffing and materials costs, including salary, benefits, and support
resources;
The opportunity to improve efficiency and service delivery within existing
resources; and
Any potential cost savings or workload efficiencies that may be realized.
Section 11.A.4 (Productivity Review Policy, Section 13) directs departments to evaluate
whether programs can be accomplished with fewer employees before requesting new
positions. This proposal complies with that requirement by maintaining the total
authorized FTE through the eventual elimination of a vacated management position.
DISCUSSION
Background
Aaron Floyd was appointed Interim Public Works Director by the City Manager in May
2025. During this interim period, Mr. Floyd continued his duties as Utilities Director, while
providing stability to the Public Works Department during the recruitment process to fill
the vacated Public W orks Director position permanently. Under Interim Director Floyd’s
leadership, the City has experienced notable progress and positive outcomes that have
far exceeded expectations, including:
Enhanced collaboration across Public Works divisions and between the Public
Works and Utilities Departments;
Improvements within the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) team , including
improvements to processes and workplace culture;
Strengthened cross-departmental relationships;
Reduced operational “fire drills” requiring weekend response; and
Continued strong performance and stability within the Utilities Department.
In the meantime, the City conducted a full national recruitment to fill the Public Works
Director position, receiving more than 35 applications from across the country. Following
an extensive review process, four candidates were identified as finalists, and three
advanced to comprehensive interviews with City staff, Department Heads, and external
partners. The finalist pool was highly qualified, composed of individuals deeply committed
to public service, employee development, and the San Luis Obispo community.
In considering the finalists, the City leadership team also reflected upon the successes
realized during the interim period. This process was valuable in shaping the City’s
thinking about organizational leadership and future needs of the Public Works
Department and the City overall. Through reflection on the leadership demands of the
moment, the organization’s current momentum, and the importance of stability, staff
consistently returned to the strong performance exhibited by the Interim Public Works
Director Aaron Floyd and the existing Public Works and Utilities leadership team.

Item 6f
Re-organization Recommendation
The City leadership team recommends the best course of action is to build on the
organization’s current momentum and provide stable, cohesive leadership, by moving
forward with an alignment plan that brings the Public Works and Utilities Departments
together. The intent of this plan is to strengthen collaboration, efficiencies, and employee
development, while maintaining each division’s operational focus and identity. Under the
proposed structure, a new Director of Public Works and Utilities position will oversee the
unified department.
In order to ensure stability of the unified department, with its sheer size and complexity,
the two existing Director positions are recommended to be converted (reclassified) into
two unrepresented management Assistant Director positions:
One Assistant Director of Public Works to oversee the Public Works operational
branch;
One Assistant Director of Utilities to oversee the Utilities operational branch.
Figure 1 - Organizational Structure
Roles and Responsibilities
In this proposed new structure, the Director provides overall leadership and strategic
direction for the unified Public Works and Utilities Department. This role is responsible for
setting the vision, aligning priorities across both branches, and ensuring the department
delivers high-quality services to the community. The Director will work closely with the
City Manager’s Office, City Council, and other departments to guide major capital
programs, policy initiatives, and regulatory priorities while fostering a cohesive and
supportive organizational culture. If the proposed reorganization plan is approved, the
City Manager will appoint Aaron Floyd into this director position.
Two Assistant Directors will support the Director by overseeing the department’s two
primary operational branches: Public Works and Utilities. Each Assistant Director will
provide leadership, coordination, and accountability for their respective branch, ensuring
effective service delivery, staff development, and collaboration across teams. The
Assistant Directors will serve as senior advisors to the Director, help integrate planning
and performance tracking, and champion employee engagement and continuous
Page 47 of 509
Item 6f
improvement across the department. If the proposed reorganization is approved, the City
plans to fill the Assistant Director roles internally through the City’s Employment
Opportunity Program (EOP) process.
Deputy Directors will continue to lead specific operational divisions within each branch,
managing day-to-day activities, projects, and staff. The Deputy Directors will provide the
technical and managerial expertise that keeps the City’s infrastructure and services
running smoothly. Working under the guidance of the Assistant Directors, the Deputies
will focus on delivering results, advancing departmental goals, and fostering collaboration
both within their divisions and across the broader organization.
Together, this unified leadership team will work with staff at all levels of the department
to build a sensible and thoughtful plan to bring the team together in a way that prioritizes
continuity, employee support, and continued excellence in serving the community.
Given the City’s fiscal outlook , the department will maintain a net -zero staffing impact
through this transition. Because the recruitment for the two Assistant Director positions
will be conducted internally and qualified employees below the Director level are expected
to apply, resulting vacancies are anticipated. A hiring chill is currently in effect due to the
activation of the City’s Fiscal Health Contingency Plan in April 2025. Following completion
of the internal recruitment process, each resulting vacancy will be evaluated critically
before any decisions to fill the vacated positions are made, and staff are committed to
identifying at least one management level position to eliminate in order to ensure that this
realignment plan results in a net neutral FTE count within the unified department. Staff
will provide an update to Council on the eliminated FTE as part of the mid-year budget
review. This anticipated management-level vacancy will also provide an opportunity to
realign responsibilities and adjust workload distribution as certain duties are shifted to the
new Assistant Director positions. This approach ensures that the proposed reorganization
does not increase the total number of authorized FTEs or have a significant fiscal impact
on either the General Fund or the Enterprise Funds (See Fiscal Impact section).
Revised Salary Schedule
In compliance with Public Employees’ Retirement Law and the Public Employees’
Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), CalPERS requires the City to provide publicly
available pay schedules. It also defines eight (8) requirements for such schedules,
including that the schedule be duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing
body in accordance with requirement of applicable public meetings laws, it is posted on
the employer's website, and it is retained by the employer and available for public
inspection for not less than five (5) years. Publicly available pay schedules are a critical
component to verify all members’ pay rates when calculating members’ retirement
benefits. Maintaining a compliant pay schedule will support transparency and expedite
CalPERS’ review process. The attached salary schedule (Attachment B) meets these
requirements for the proposed salary adjustments for the reorganization.

Item 6f
Next Steps
If Council approves the proposed alignment plan and accompanying resolution, the City
Manager will
a) Appoint Aaron Floyd as Public Works and Utilities Director, effective November 20,
2025;
b) Direct Human Resources to initiate internal recruitments for the two Assistant
Director positions; and
c) Direct staff to begin a phased integration of the Public Works and Utilities teams,
informed by staff input and operational priorities.
Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
None.
Public Engagement
Public comment on this item can be provided to the City Council through written
correspondence prior to the meeting and through public testimony at the meeting.
CONCURRENCE
All City department heads concur with this recommendation.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to the recommended
actions in this report because the actions do not constitute a “project” under CEQA
Guidelines Sec. 15378.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budgeted: No Budget Year: 2025-26
Funding Identified: Yes
Fiscal Analysis:
Under the previous structure, the Director of Public Works position was fully costed to the
General Fund (101), while the Director of Utilities position was split across the Water
(601), Sewer (602), and Whale Rock (705) funds. Under the proposed structure, the new
Director of Public Works and Utilities position will be split-costed across multiple funds to
more accurately reflect the range of divisions and enterprise operations supported by this
role. The proposed reorganization, which establishes the combined Director of Public
Works and Utilities position, results in a modest savings to the General Fund and a
redistribution of costs across several enterprise funds. The new cost distribution (30%
General Fund, 25% Water Fund, 25% Sewer Fund, 15% Parking Fund, and 5% Transit
Fund) more accurately aligns cost allocations with areas of oversight and service delivery.
This shift reduces General Fund costs by approximately $11,000, with corresponding
increases across enterprise funds, most notably within the Parking Fund.
Historically, Public Works departmental leadership costs were allocated through a back -
end cost allocation process. The reorganization implem ents a more transparent and
Page 49 of 509
Item 6f
equitable approach by split-costing positions up front, ensuring that each fund directly
supports the proportionate share of oversight it receives.
The two Assistant Director positions will also be split across multiple funds in alignment
with their respective areas of responsibility. Table 1 below summarizes the proposed cost
distribution and resulting impacts across funds.
Table 1: Staffing Budget Impact of Proposed Organizational Change
*Because the Public Works Director position was included in the cost allocation plan,
which allocated costs to the Parking and Transit enterprise funds through a retrospective
view that applies two years after-the-fact, and because a specific position has not yet
been identified for elimination, staff cannot identify the precise impacts to each fund at
this time.
Short-Term Funding Impact
In the short term, the additional costs associated with the Director of Public Works and
Utilities, the Assistant Director of Public Works, and the Assistant Director of Utilities
positions will be covered through existing salary savings.
Specifically, the overage in these positions within the General Fund, Parking Fund, and
Transit Fund will be absorbed by General Fund salary savings resulting from the current
vacancy in the Director of Public Works position. Salary savings through mid-December
total approximately $125,698 from the General Fund, which is sufficient to cover the
additional $71,543 needed across these three funds to support the positions through the
end of Fiscal Year 2026 (approximately seven months).
This approach ensures that all costs are fully covered through the end of the fiscal year
without requiring additional funding or impacting other budgeted resources.

ALTERNATIVES
Council could choose not to approve the proposed reorganization, either by
maintaining the existing structure without adding a new Director of Public Works
and Utilities position, or by approving the new Director position but not the
accompanying Assistant Director classifications or re lated reclassifications. If
Council selects this option, staff would reinitiate a full recruitment process for the Public
Works Director position or utilize the existing eligible candidate list from the prior national
recruitment. This approach would not receive the demonstrated benefits of integrated
oversight between Public Works and Utilities, including improved communication,
efficiency, and cross-departmental collaboration, and would prolong reliance on interim
assignments during a period of significant capital and operational activity.
