6. NEW BUSINESS
A. 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

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. These include the
supervision of sworn police officers in their crime prevention activities. This
position also has responsibility to apply for and administer crime prevention and
other grants for the Police Department. The new classification of Crime
prevention supervisor is primarily a title change due to the compensation being
recommended beyond the current Supervisor II salary range. The Salary
adjustment of 2.5% is being recommended for this position. Staff will be
