BY: . L..
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Assistant City Manager eDsr
DATE: December 11, 2015 (CC Regular Meeting of 12/16/15)
SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of a Revised Classification Plan Resolution
with Changes to Job Descriptions and Rescinding Resolution
No. 2015-3434
BACKGROUND
At the November 18, 2015 regular meeting, the City Council adopted a revised Salary
Plan, which incorporated multiple revisions to position titles and salary ranges, including
the addition of new positions. The City Council directed staff to schedule a subsequent
agenda item to amend the Classification Plan for the new and revised job descriptions.
DISCUSSION
Attached to this agenda report is a draft resolution to amend the City's Classification
Plan. Included are all of the new job descriptions as well as those job descriptions that
contain more substantive revisions as discussed below (the attached job descriptions
are in alphabetic order). Minor text and format consistency edits have also been made
to many of the job descriptions; however, the job descriptions with minor edits have not
been included as attachments to this agenda report. As an example of minor edits,
punctuation has been added, department names and supervisor title references have
been corrected, and the knowledge requirement for English usage, grammar, and
punctuation has been added for all Management and office worker positions. Other
similar editorial edits are included.
The entire Classification Plan exceeds 400 pages; therefore, the attachments to this
agenda report have been limited as already described. The entire draft resolution will
be available on the City's website, along with the agenda report. Also, the final adopted
Classification Plan resolution will include all City job descriptions, and will be available
on the City's website.

New Job Descriptions
As discussed in the Salary Plan update agenda report for the November 18 City Council
meeting, new job descriptions for Non-Competitive Service (Management) positions
have been created as follows (and are attached): Deputy Finance Director, Deputy
Community Development Director, Economic Development and Planning Manager,
Public Works Manager, and Senior Housing Analyst.
Revised job descriptions
1. Non-Competitive Service Job Descriptions — All of the Non-Competitive Service
(Management)job descriptions have been revised to create more consistency for
Knowledge, Abilities, Experience, and Training/Degree requirements. The
required Knowledge, Abilities, Experience, and Training/Degree requirements are
intended to be consistent with the Salary Plan pay ranges. For example, higher
paid positions require increased experience. Job descriptions for other local
cities were used as examples to determine appropriate changes. Reference was
added to the Assistant City Engineer job description pertaining to serving as
Deputy Public Works Director instead of creating a new Deputy Public Works
Director job description.
The Management job descriptions that incorporate more substantive
amendments are attached to this agenda report. Those job descriptions with
only minor editorial changes are not attached, but will be incorporated into the
final Classification Plan Resolution.
2. Competitive Service Job Descriptions — The Community Development
Technician job description was revised to change the position title to Planning
Technician (for the purpose of improving recruitment by using the more common
Planning Technician position title), and to also incorporate more clarification of
code compliance responsibilities. This revised job description is attached.
The Management Supervisor job description has been deleted, because there is
no longer a Management Supervisor position listed on the Salary Plan, and no
such position is referenced in the Memorandum of Agreement with the union for
Competitive Service employees.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
