NEW AND REVISED JOB SPECIFICATIONS At its meeting of September 25, the City Council referred revised job specifications for City Clerk and Public/Fire Safety Education Specialist, and new specifications for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Coordinator, Senior Office Systems Analyst, and Communications Operations Supervisor; and a resolution amending Resolutions 12-96 and 19-96 setting salaries and related benefits for employees of the White Collar, Police Supervisory and the General Supervisor Units to the Personnel Committee. The Human Resources Director gave an overview. Two existing job specifications City Clerk and Public/Fire Safety Education Specialist have been updated. Job specifications have been developed for GIS Coordinator and Senior Systems Analyst for Management Information Services, and Communications Operations Supervisor for the Police Department as approved in the 1996-97 Budget. City Clerk. The retirement of the City Clerk has prompted the need to recruit a replacement. The job specification has not been updated since 1985. Other cities were contacted to obtain benchmark classification and compensation information. Accordingly, minor changes have been made to duties, knowledge, abilities, and minimum qualifications have been revised to include a key qualification to require a Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) certificate. Consistent with the majority of survey cities, we are still requiring a bachelors degree, but a provision has been included to allow a substitution of qualifying experience for up to two years of the required education. There is no budgetary impact as the salary range will remain the same. The City Attorney suggested that it is important to include language that the City Clerk is the official custodian of City records, the Committee agreed, and staff will add this responsibility to the specification. Public/Fire Safety Education Specialist. This position was vacated about three years ago, and then reauthorized and included in the 1996-97 Budget. The language in the specification was updated with essentially the same salary range. Graphic Information Systems (GIS) Coordinator. This is a new position in Management Information Services that was approved in the 1996-97 Budget. This is a professional position with functional oversight responsibilities and will be working with City Departments to coordinate all GIS information. Minimum qualifications will include a required B.S. degree and experience will be required. Senior Office Systems Analyst. This is a new position in Management Information Services approved in the 1996-97 Budget and created at a level to provide a career AGENDA SUMMARY R~ORT PERSONNEL COMMITTEE Tuesday, October 1, 1996 Page -3- progression from the existing Office Systems Analyst position. The Senior position will be responsible for Networking in the City. This would be a technical position to give direction to the other analysts, and to do training throughout the City as required. Proposed-minimum qualifications are consistent with the internal benchmark classes of Benefits Technician or Administrative Analyst II, which will require a B.S. degree and two years of recent experience equivalent to Office Systems Analyst. Additional qualifying experience may be substituted for the required education on a year-for-year basis to a maximum of two years. Also, a Novell NetWare certification or equivalent will be required. Communications Operations Supervisor. Funding for this new nonsafety position is included in the 1996-97 Budget for the Police Department and a new job specification has been developed. This position will supervise the area of the data center and communications center and will be in place of a sworn officer. Minimum qualifications for this position are a B.S. degree and three years of professional supervisory experience and additional qualifying experience may be substituted for the required education. The Fire Civil Service Commission met on August 29, 1996 and approved the revised Public/Fire Safety Education Specialist specification. The Miscellaneous Civil Service Commission met on September 17, 1996 and approved the new and revised job specifications for City Clerk, GIS Coordinator and Senior Office Systems Analyst. The Police Civil Service Commission met on September 18, 1996 and approved the job specification for Communications Operations Supervisor. The Committee approved staff's recommendations for the new and revised job specifications and the resolutions setting these salaries. This item will be placed on the October 9, 1996 City Council agenda for approval by the full Council. 7.
