Revisions to Job Classification Specifications
body
At the November 15, 2022 City Council meeting, Council approved the Classification and Compensation Study Implementation Plan. This action requires multiple new, merged, and revised job classification specifications to be drafted and approved by the Personnel Commission. At the same meeting, Council also approved deletion of 55 job classifications/titles that are vacant/unused.
At the December 14, 2022 Personnel Commission meeting, the Commission formed two ad hoc committees to review new and merged job class specifications, and appointed members to each committee. The Commission directed staff to bring revised classification specifications to the full Commission for review.
The revised job classification titles approved by the City Council and ready for review at this time include:
City Attorney’s Office
• Deputy City Attorney I
• Deputy City Attorney III
City Manager’s Office / Police Department
• Community Relations Officer
Community and Library Services Department
• Parking Meter Repair Worker
Community Development
• Building Inspector I
• Building Inspector II
• Building Inspector III
Fire Department
• Ocean Lifeguard Specialist
• Marine Safety Captain
Finance
• Payroll Specialist
• Senior Payroll Technician
Police Department
• Civilian Check Investigator
Public Works
• Assistant Civil Engineer
• Civil Engineering Assistant
• Mechanic II
• Mechanic III
• Equipment/Automotive Maintenance Leadworker
• Equipment/Automotive Maintenance Crewleader
• Survey Technician I
• Survey Technician II
• Utilities Technology Coordinator
• Water Distribution Superintendent
• Water Systems Technician III
• Water Utility Locator
The changes to many of these positions are primarily title changes, but some also include more extensive updated language due to the length of time since previously updated, and to reflect current classification identifications or formatting. These positions will all perform job duties necessary to fulfill the City’s operational goals and objectives.
The Human Resources Department has created the revised job classifications in collaboration with the departments in which the positions are assigned, and the bargaining units representing each position have reviewed the proposed job classifications.
Staff requests the Personnel Commission approve the recommendation in accordance with Personnel Rule 12 regarding amendments to the City’s Classification Plan.
