TL;DR (generated · confidence: high)

Portland Parks & Recreation proposes eliminating an Office Support Specialist I position, reducing the budget by $92,991 from General Fund Discretionary. This entry-level administrative role supports seasonal time entry processing, work order quality control, the MicroMain system replacement project, and Mt. Tabor Yard counter service. Elimination will halt seasonal billing, reduce quality control, slow the MicroMain project timeline, and cut Mt. Tabor Yard counter service by 75%. The department acknowledges this conflicts with the City's equity and anti-racism values.

Reduction of MicroMain (MM) Quality Control. All work-order intake quality control will be reduced.
Reduction of the Speed and Quality of the MicroMain Replacement Project Delivery. This position ($92,991) helps facilitate the MicroMain Replacement Project, and since MM is to be technically unsupported soon, the delivery of the replacement system is on a critically short timetable. There are numerous staff involved in the process and this position helps support the process and meetings.
Reduction in Mt. Tabor Yard Counter Service by 75%. There are two Staff working in Administration for all of the Mt. Tabor Yard. With the elimination of one, there will be a significant reduction in services provided and at times, no counter service at all such as invoice/P-Card processing, and technical support for work teams.
