REVISED JOB SPECIFICATIONS- WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATOR 1/11 The Human Resources Manager gave a brief overview. With automation at the Treatment Plants, the City has gone from a twenty-four hour schedule to an eight- hour-per-day schedule and this sometimes means we have a lone operator working on the weekend. The State requires this employee to have a Grade II Certificate. To promote flexibility of assignments and meet State requirements, the revised job specifications will require Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator I's to obtain the Grade II Operator's Certificate issued by the State within three years of hire. There is no budgetary impact as the salary range will remain the same. There is one current employee impacted. Staff recommends approval of the revised job specifications. The Miscellaneous Civil Service Board approved the revisions. S.E.I.U. approves and was involved with finalizing the job specifications. The Committee unanimously approved the revised job specifications and the item will be on the January 22 agenda for Council approval. B. PERSONNEL CHANGES - BROADBANDING OF MAINTENANCE WORKER CLASSIFICATIONS AND RECLASSIFICATIONS The Human Resources Manager explained that broadbanding the job specifications of Canal Tender I, Sanitation Worker I, Sewer Maintainer I, Street Maintainer, Traffic Painter I and Tree Maintainer I into one Service Maintenance Worker 'classification has many benefits including saving money by reducing the time and duplication of testing and certification involved in recruitments, and more flexibility within the various departments to allow lateral transfers from one department to another. These job specifications are all basic entry-level Blue Collar positions with the same requirements and salary. There is no budgetary impact as the salary range for the Service Maintenance Worker classification will remain the same as the salary range for the existing classifications. S.E.I.U. concurs with the proposed reclassifications and the Service Maintenance Worker job specification. The Miscellaneous Civil Service Board approved broadbanding the job specifications into the new Service Maintenance Worker classification and the proposed reclassifications. Staff recommends approval of the job specification, reclassifications, and adoption of the resolution. The Committee unanimously approved the recommendations and the item will be on the January 22 agenda for Council approval.
