6. NEW BUSINESS
A. PERSONNEL CHANGES
Janet McCrea made a brief staff presentation on the proposed changes. As part
of an ongoing effort to streamline processes in Human Resources, a number of
supervisory classifications are being combined into two existing multi-divisional job
specifications for Supervisor I and II. The classifications to be combined with the
existing Supervisor I are Supervisor I - Trees and Water Supervisor I. The
classifications to be included in the existing Supervisor II are Supervisor II -
Wastewater and Water Supervisor II. The existing Supervisor 1/11 specifications
already include the following operational areas: Convention Center, Fleet Services,
General Services, Parks, Solid Waste and Streets. All of the existing job
classifications are in the General Supervisory Unit and are compensated at the
same salary grade within the I and II levels.
The job specification for Supervisor I, in addition to the high school diploma now
required, has been revised to require three years of journey-level experience in the
appropriate program or related technical area, and Supervisor II will require at least
two years of full-time college. Current incumbents who do not meet the educational
requirements will be grandfathered in.
S.E.I.U. concurs with the proposed revisions and the Miscellaneous Civil Service
Board approved the revisions at its March 18, 1997 meeting. Staff recommends
approval of the revised job specifications, associated reclassifications and the
resolution deleting the obsolete classifications from the salary schedule. Staff also
recommends that the resolution and reclassifications become effective the
beginning of the first full-pay period following Council action.
Committee member Salvaggio made a motion to approve the recommendations and
forward to the full Council for adoption. Approved by the Committee, all ayes.
B. REVISED JOB SPECIFICATIONS
Janet McCrea gave an overview of the revised job specifications. Impending
retirements have prompted the need to plan for succession. The Public Works
Director has requested revision of the General Services Superintendent and Streets
Superintendent job specifications to require a Bachelor's Degree. This is consistent
with existing Superintendent job specifications in the Convention Center, Fleet,
Recreation, Solid Waste and Water. In addition, updates have been made to

reflect current assignments and requirements. Current incumbents who do not
have the degree will be grandfathered in.
The specifications have been approved by the Miscellaneous Civil Service Board
at its March 18, 1997 meeting. There is no budgetary impact as the salary grade
for both positions will remain the same. Staff recommends approval of the revised
job specifications.
Committee member Salvaggio made a motion to approve the reVised job
Specifications and forward to the full Council for approval. The Committee
approved, all ayes.
