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.
