REORGANIZATIONS, POSITION RECLASSIFICATIONS AND SALARY ADJUSTMENTS The Committee reviewed the following reorganizations, reclassifications and salary adjustments which reflect the remainder of requests from the 1994-95 budget process and other actions being recommended by the City Manager. Most of these reflect recommendations made in the RSG Classification Study as well as requests made by the department and/or employee for review of classification or salary equity issues. Some reflect reorganizational opportunities due to vacant positions. The Human Resources Division has reviewed each request. In addition, John Stinson stated that he has reviewed these changes with Chuck Waide, S.E.I.U. and the union representatives where applicable. Based on job audits, interviews and information received from supervisors, division and department heads, the following recommendations were made and reviewed with the Personnel Committee. Administrative Analyst II to Administrative Analyst III - City Manaqer's Office This reclassification is being recommended by the City Manager based upon duties being performed by the incumbent which are beyond those required of an Administrative Analyst II. These include staffing Council committees, and a higher level of independent analytical and administrative support to the City Manager such as monitoring current legislative activities. This position has also performed assignments which require the incumbent to act as a liaison to outside groups and Council appointed citizens' advisory committees. The Administrative Analyst III classification is a new supervisory classification which more appropriately reflects the actual duties performed by the incumbent. The salary of the Administrative Analyst III position is to be set at the same level as a Supervisor II classification. The Miscellaneous Civil Service Commission has approved the new job specification and the reclassification. Business Manager- Fire Department This action would provide for a Business Manager position which would replace the vacant Secretary II position in the Fire Department. The Fire Department is the largest city department that does not have a Business Manager. Due to the need to provide improved budget preparation, budget monitoring and more technical financial and administrative support to the Fire Chief this position is AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Tuesday, February 7, 1995 Page -3- being recommended. Additional funding for the position beyond funds budgeted for the Secretary II position will need to be transferred from Council Contingency. Equipment Superintendent to Fleet Superintendent - Public Works Department This is a revision of the job specification for Equipment Superintendent to bring it into conformance with the current requirements for Superintendent positions as well as a title change to conform with the use of the term "Fleet" instead of "Equipment" for positions within this division. This position is in the Management unit. There is no salary adjustment proposed. Staff will be presenting this recommendation and new job specification to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Commission for approval at their next meeting. Automotive Mechanic (Equipment Division) to Fleet Mechanic I; Equipment Mechanic (Equipment Division) to Fleet Mechanic II; Equipment Mechanic II (Equipment Division) to Fleet Mechanic III - Public Works Department These are revisions to the job specifications for automotive and equipment mechanic positions to bring them into conformance with updated requirements for these positions as well as a title change to conform with the use of the term "Fleet" instead of "Equipment" for positions within this division. Incumbent employees in these classes would be reclassified to the new classifications. There are no salary adjustments proposed. The new requirements and job specifications have been reviewed with the employees and their union representative and they are in concurrence with the recommendation. The Miscellaneous Civil Service Commission has approved the new job specifications and the reclassifications. Supervisor II - Crime Prevention to Crime Prevention Supervisor - Polic~, Department This reclassification and salary adjustment is being recommended by the City Manager based upon duties being performed by the incumbent which are beyond those currently required of Supervisor II - Crime Prevention.
