Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt Resolution No. 2019-63 and reject the amendment to the classification plan. In accordance with Personnel Rule 12-4, if an amendment to the City’s Classification Plan is rejected by the City Council, the City Council is to refer such amendments or revisions back to the Personnel Commission with reasons for rejection and its recommendation thereon.
Analysis:
The Personnel Commission has considered and approved an amendment to the City’s Classification Plan. At its August 21, 2019, meeting, the Personnel Commission finalized the approval of a new job classification titled Parks Development Facilities Project Coordinator.
The Parks Development/Facilities Project Coordinator classification will ensure effective and efficient coordination and oversight of park development and facilities projects. In some respects, this classification is a hybrid between the existing job classifications of Associate Planner and Project Manager Assistant. However, neither of these classifications alone provides the required expertise to perform the full range of job duties necessary to fulfill the department’s operational goals and objectives. The department’s staffing total will not increase by the creation of this classification and full funding for the position is budgeted in the FY 2019-20 budget.
The classification is represented by the Management Employees’ Organization (MEO). The Personnel Commission approved the recommended pay range of $39.61 - $49.07 per hour.
