These circumstances have since been resolved and I am now respectfully requesting that I be reinstated as a full-time civilian employee. Thank you for your time and consideration. Raeann Coronado BAKERSFIELD THE SOUND OF 52,44OWf 6e,04, MEMORANDUM TO: Police Civil Service Board FROM: Asia Wofford, Human Resources Analyst SUBJECT: Reinstatement Request for Raeann Coronado DATE: August 7, 2024 Ms. Raeann Coronado has requested reinstatement to a position with the City of Bakersfield (refer to attached letter). • On October 30, 2017, Ms. Coronado was hired as a full-time employee as a Clerk Typist I in the Police Department. • Promoted to an Accounting Clerk I on October 01, 2018. • Promoted to an Accounting Clerk II on January 17, 2022. • Reclassifed to an Administrative & Fiscal Services Specialist II on January 30, 2023. • Ms. Coronado transitioned, from an Administrative & Fiscal Services Specialist II, to a temporary Administrative & Fiscal Services Specialist II on March 11, 2024. Police Chief Greg Terry, has been contacted regarding this request. He recommends placing Ms. Coronado on a reinstatement list. Should the Board approve this request, Ms. Coronado's name will be placed on the Police Civil Service reinstatement list for the City of Bakersfield for a period of one (1) year. The established reinstatement list may be utilized at the hiring manager's discretion for selection of a final candidate per Police Civil Service Rule 12.02 during periods of which vacancies occur. BAKERSFIELD TO: Police Civil Service Board FROM: Christi Tenter, Human Resources Director SUBJECT: Reclassification of Community Relations Specialist II to Communications Coordinator DATE: August 7, 2024 The Municipal Code provides that if the duties and responsibilities of an employee within a class are sufficiently like the duties and responsibilities of a position of another class, the position may be reclassified to an appropriate position (Section 2.72.070 — Reclassification). Such actions are subject to certification by the appropriate civil service board. Public safety communication matters more today than perhaps any other time. An informed, connected, and engaged community is one of the greatest assets available to us. Open, frequent, strategic, and feedback -oriented communication practices foster support, trust, and cooperation. To accomplish this, the Chief of Police requested funding and creation of a Public Affairs and Communications Manager in 2024. This position, reporting directly to the Chief, will support and carryout BPD's communication goals of strengthening community connections, enhancing community policing and problem -solving efforts, and recruiting a high - quality workforce by managing program aspects, to include: • Plan, develop, implement, and organize comprehensive communication, branding, crisis communication, and marketing strategies for the Police Department. • Oversee the daily internal and public messaging processes, including responses to daily media inquiries. • Plan, design, produce public informational materials, community engagement campaigns. • Oversee the production of all written material and graphics posted on the department website and social media accounts; develop, review, edit content. In more recent years, communication duties were assigned to a single Public Information Officer position, a Police Sergeant assignment, and a single Communications Coordinator position. The Sergeant will now be able to be reassigned to full-time field duties and responsibilities. However, with the inherent need to proactively communicate, both internally and externally, and with a growing number of requests, the Chief has assessed the option of adding a second Communications Coordinator. The position will performs professional and administrative work in the coordination and dissemination of citywide information internally and to the media and general public; creates a variety of outreach materials for projects and programs in support of communications plans and strategies; develops timely and appropriate content; acts as a resource and liaison with the city's technology staff to provide technical assistance to City officials and departments in preparation of internal and external publications and social media. The incumbent has been performing many of these duties and meets the minimum qualifications of the position. With the growing and evolving workload making a dedicated role will support key initiatives of the BPD. In assessing, several of the communication elements have been provided by an incumbent in the Community Relations Unit. Ynez Angeloni has been in Community Relations since 2018 and is a current Community Relations Specialist II. In the current role she provides broader communication duties, unique to her assignments, which include: • Working with the PIO and department heads to make sure information is disseminated both internally and externally through a variety of different channels. • Crafting press and public communications materials. • Creating and monitoring content on the website. • Monitoring and maintaining social media presence on multiple platforms. • Creating regular, engaging posts and activity for the City's accounts, communicating important information about the city and its programs to the public. • Generating alerts for events, incidents and emergencies. • Maintaining the integrity of the City`s branding and logo usage. Aligning these duties to the Public Affairs and Communications Unit will support goals, drive consistency in messaging and provide resources based on current volume. The Police Chief has reviewed and recommends that Ynez be reclassified to the Communications Coordinator position.
