TO: Honorable City Council FROM: Deborah S. Traffenstedt, Deputy City Manager I BY: Jennifer Mellon, Administrative Services Manage DATE: December 12, 2013 (CC Meeting of 12/18/13) SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Amending Classification Plan and Rescinding Resolution No. 2010-2962 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The City's Classification Plan contains the job descriptions for City employment positions. An amendment to the Classification Plan Resolution is proposed to add new job descriptions and revise current job descriptions (see attached draft resolution, with revisions shown through the use of legislative format). The revisions to the Classification Plan include new job descriptions for the hourly positions of Clerical Aide I and II, Clerical Aide/Crossing Guard, Intern, and Laborer/Custodian I, II, and III. These temporary, part-time positions have been historically used by the City and are included in the City's Salary Plan; however, there were no adopted job descriptions for these positions. A new job description has been added for a Competitive Service Maintenance Specialist position. The Maintenance Specialist position was approved by the City Council on March 20, 2013, and is included in the Memorandum of Understanding with SEIU Local 721 for the current fiscal year. A new job description has been added for a Non-Competitive Service (Management) Economic Development and Housing Manager position. This new classification replaces the prior Redevelopment Manager job description, and language has been modified as needed to remove prior reference to redevelopment and clarify current responsibilities and essential functions. Modifications have been made to the job descriptions for Account Clerk I and II, Recreation Aide, Recreation Leader I, II, and III, and Vector/Animal Control Specialist and Vector/Animal Control Technician positions to correct inconsistent language; and update description of responsibilities, functions, experience,training, and/or certification language. 326 Honorable City Council December 18, 2013, Regular Meeting Page 2 The draft resolution that is attached to this agenda report only includes the new and revised job descriptions, and a page titled "Other Positions", which is shown as now deleted. This page will be deleted, since this Classification Plan update now adds job descriptions for all position classifications currently used by the City for employment, and achieves consistency with the City's Salary Plan. An update to the City's Salary plan is a separate but related agenda item for the December 18 regular meeting. The final Classification Plan resolution will include all of the City job descriptions, incorporating the attached new and revised job descriptions into the document. The City makes a copy of the current Classification Plan and Salary Plan available on the City's website. FISCAL IMPACT No fiscal impact.
