needs of Pazks and Recreations — Operations. The parties mutually agreed that it made sense that a classification now be
created to address the ongoing issues and need for such a position(s) in the City. HR created the classification of Trades
Iaborer to meet the aforementioned need. This position will serve as an assistant to a joumey-level h�ades person. I,aborer
Local #132 was notified that the class of Trades Laborer was being created and they had no objections.

efficient manner to address this ongoing issue.
