TO: Bakersfield Miscellaneous Civil Service Board FROM: Christi Tenter CREATED BY: Christi Tenter, H.R. Director DATE: 12/12/2023 WARD: SUBJECT: Reclassification from Accounting Clerk I I to Accountant I STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Reclassification of Accounting Clerk I I to Accountant BACKGROUND: ATTACHMENTS: Description Type a Reclassification from Accounting Clerk II to Accountant I Backup Material (03 BAKERSFIELD TO: Miscellaneous Civil Service Board FROM: Christi Tenter, Human Resources Director SUBJECT: Reclassification of Accounting Clerk II to Accountant I DATE: December 12, 2023 The Municipal Code provides that if the duties and responsibilities of an employee within a class are sufficiently like the duties and responsibilities of a position of another class, the position may be reclassified to an appropriate position (Section 2.72.070 - Reclassification). Such actions are subject to certification of the appropriate Civil Service Board. Over the past 5 years the Development Services Department has seen substantial growth in the number of employees and the size and complexity of the budget. With increased employees, funding, and funding sources, has come increased duties for the Accounting Clerk II position. Due to the increased scope of responsibilities and workload of the Accounting Clerk 11, Development Services requested, and was granted, budget allocations for one classification of the Accounting Clerk II position to an Accountant I, as part of the FY 2023-2024 budget. A review of the department functions and job duties supports the position reclassification. The FY 2023-2024 budget approved a headcount of 109 employees in the Development Services Department. This is an increase of nearly double from the approved complement of 56 in FY 2018-19. This increase is associated with additional programs and expansion of services, which is accompanied by an increase in funding streams with PSVS and grants, data analysis and reporting, projects, and purchases. Restructuring of duties has been necessary to balance workload and provide proper oversight of key fiscal duties. The Accountant I position is primarily responsible for: • Work involving the maintenance of complex cost accounting system in addition to the normal accounting records of the department and for preparing a variety of financial and statistical reports. • Work is carried out under the general supervision of the department head but calls for considerable independent judgement on technical matters. • Plans, assigns, and review the work of employees engaged in financial record keeping, analyzes and interprets accounts and records and budgetary allotments. • Assists in the preparation, analysis and review of revenue estimates, expenditures and fund conditions involving administering budgets. • Prepares periodic financial statements, reports, and performs other duties as directed. In review with Christopher Boyle, Development Services Director, Ms. Sanchez has demonstrated the skills required for the Accountant I position and performs the essential job duties. Ms. Sanchez has previously qualified on an Accountant I eligibility list, meeting and demonstrating the minimum qualifications of the classification. Therefore, based on the above, I recommend this employee be reclassified from Accounting Clerk II to Accountant I because of the assigned duties, advanced nature of the work duties, and complexity of assignments. 2
