6.' NEW BUSINESS
A. REVISED JOB SPECIFICATIONS
The City Council at its June 11 meeting referred the following job specifications to
the Personnel Committee.
Assistant City Clerk
Human ResourceS'Manager Carroll Hayden summarized that with the promotion of
Pam McCarthy to City Clerk, there is a vacancy in the Assistant City Clerk position.
The Assistant City Clerk job specification was last revised in 1988. Staff is
recommending that the minimum qualifications be changed to require two years of
college course work in business or public administration or related field, and three
years of administrative experience in a City Clerk's office or related field including
one year of supervisory experience. City Clerk Pam McCarthy agreed that these
changes are needed. Chair DeMond and Committee Member Salvaggio approved;
Committee Member Sullivan absent.
Firefighter
Human Resources Manager Carroll Hayden stated that some time this year we will
reach our constant staffing level and a firefighter recruitment will be needed. Staff
is recommending that the minimum qualifications for firefighter be changed to
require completion of a California Firefighter I Academy or Certification as a
Firefighter I, and that a valid EMT 1 Certificate be obtained within the first six
months of appointment. Fire Chief Mike Kelly stated that the Training Division
would evaluate each new recruit's qualifications as part of the employment process
and if an EMT Certificate were needed, it would become a priority in his/her training
and the recruit would not be assigned to perform medical aid duties until this training
has been completed. The EMT Certificate can be obtained at Bakersfield College
or County EMS. The Committee unanimously approved the job specification.
