Report to the Personnel Committee of the City of Green Bay MEETING DATE PREPARED BY January 13, 2026 AGENDA ITEM # E.2 For consideration with possible action on the request to reclassify an Arborist I position to an Arborist II. BACKGROUND The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department is recommending the promotion of Charles Morrone and the reclassification of one (1) Arborist I position to one (1) Arborist II position. The recommendation for this promotion is to reflect the skill and type of work that the employee is currently performing. Charlie was hired as an Arborist I in November of 2024 and at that time was working on obtaining the additional skills required to make himself a more proficient tree worker. In his time with the City of Green Bay’s Forestry division, Charlie has gained the necessary experience and improved his capabilities related to climbing and pruning trees using rope and saddle technique, along with learning bucket truck operation. In the last year, Forestry supervisors and co-workers have been training Charlie and monitoring his proficiency. The department is confident that through his training experiences, Charlie has become a proficient and trusted Arborist and now meets the requirements of the Arborist II position. Charlie has been using Arborist II skills such as pruning and removing trees in his daily tasks. The recommended promotion from an Arborist I to an Arborist II will provide supervisors with more flexibility in scheduling crews and will also provide the division with another Arborist capable of pruning trees during seasons when other Forestry operations such as tree removal and tree planting reduce the ability to prune trees. Having another Arborist II will help improve the rate of pruning and the division’s efforts to catch up with the 10-year pruning backlog they currently face. RECOMMENDATION To approve the reclassification of one (1) Arborist I position to one (1) Arborist II position. FISCAL IMPACT The Forestry division currently consists of (10) Arborist II positions and (4) Arborist I positions in the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Table of Organization. Approval of the proposed promotion would result in an adjustment of the Table of Organization to include (11) Arborist II positions and (3) Arborist I positions. Mr. Morrone is currently placed at step 3 of Pay Grade F of the City Pay Plan, which is $26.80 per hour. The recommended promotion to an Arborist II position would place him at step 2 of Pay Grade G, which is $28.86 per hour. The total impact to the 2026 Forestry budget for this proposed change is $3,141. There is enough money in the 2026 budget to absorb these additional costs.
