BACKGROUND
California local government in_ general,. and the City of Redding in
particular, have experienced a lessening of revenues which could
result in a reduction- of services- to the public. Additionally,
local government,. being the government which is closest to those,
that are governed, offers the best opportunity for the public to be
directly involved in public activities..
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy- is to establish the City Council's
posture and direction relative to the establishment and utilization
of volunteer workers within the City of Redding work force in order
to enable the City to meet higher standards of service than would
otherwise be possible and to accomplish work that would otherwise
not be done.
POLICY
I
It is the policy of the City Council of the City of Redding:
11 That volunteerism by the community is welcomed and encouraged;
2) That the City of Redding will establish and maintain a City-
wide volunteer program which, will recruit,. train, and use the
services of volunteers to compliment regular City of Redding
staff activities except direct law enforcement and fire
suppression activities. This- volunteer program shall not be
an employment program•; it should not be used to displace
current employees, reduce current contracts, or cause
cancellation of existing or future contracts. The use of
volunteers shall not affect tour-of-duty or non-overtime hours
worked by current employees;
3 ) That the program should provide the volunteer with an
experience that is personally rewarding and challenging; and
