LUNARDINI CI~/ ATTORNEY of the City of Bakersfield LCM/meg RECREATN.O-4 4/9/91 - 4 - MEMORANDUM DATE: APRIL 13, 1992 TO: PERSONNEL COMMITTEE FROM: MAUREEN COTNER, PERSONNEL MANAGER!~ SUBJECT: SUPERVISOR I AND SUPERVISOR II JOB SPECIFICATION REVISION The Personnel Division is recommending a revision of the job specification for Supervisor I and II, to allow for promotion from the I to the II level, on a merit basis, without examination one year after appointment to the fifth salary step. This is referred to as a "flex" position. Prior to 1989, it was the practice in some divisions to flex Supervisor I's to the II level. Because this practice was administered inconsistently, and was in violation of Civil Service Rules, Personnel met with the department heads of Public Works, Water and Sanitation, and Community Services Departments in late 1990 to develop a uniform policy. A determination was made that Supervisor I/II should be developed as a flex position, for those positions in Building Maintenance, Streets, Sewer, Parks, Convention Center and Sanitation. Unique job specifications exist for Crime Prevention, Recreation, Recycling, Trees and Wastewater, and were not affected by the proposed revision. Also proposed was that all new supervisors in the affected divisions would be appointed at the Supervisor I level; no employees would be hired initially at the Supervisor II level. The proposed Supervisor I/II flex series and updated job specifications were presented to the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board at their January 15, 1991, meeting. The Board approved the change. In anticipation of the pending City-wide classification study, the revised job specifications were never presented to the Personnel Committee after Civil Service Board approval. PAGE 2 APRIL 13, 1992 PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Recently, this issue has again been raised by the departments. They are requesting that a consistent policy be implemented for granting promotions to Supervisor II. Attached for your reference is a breakdown of all Supervisor I/II's by department. AlSo included are the unique Supervisor I/II's in Crime Prevention, Recreation, Recycling, Trees and Wastewater,'and a listing of other flex classifications in the City. The Personnel Division recommends this job specification revision; it validates an ongoing practice in the operating divisions, and is consistent with the flex designation of other classifications.
