Staff is requesting the City Council review only the Classification Plan as prepared by Ralph
Andersen & Associates (RAA) at this time Adoption of the Classification Plan should be made
by resolution of the City Council. It is recommended that the review of the Compensation Plan
recommendations for non - competitive service employees be considered at a later date after further
review by the Ad Hoc Committee, and, that the Compensation Plan for competitive service
employees be reviewed with their representatives as part of the Meet and Confer process for fiscal
year 1997/98. The City Manager would meet and confer with Local 998 with the intent of reaching
agreement on the Compensation Plan along with the new contract which would begin Saturday, July

Back rg ound
The City Council engaged RAA in Fiscal Year 1995/1996 to conduct a Classification and
Compensation Study for the City. The first phase of the project consisted of a job classification
study. The second phase included a compensation survey based upon the identified positions which
were classified in phase 1
Classification Study
In order to complete the Classification Study, RAA circulated a job description questionnaire to all
full -time employees, both the competitive service (hourly) and non - competitive service
(management staff. Group and individual meetings were held to explain how the questionnaires
should be completed. The results of the survey were reviewed with supervisors for accuracy and
draft job descriptions were prepared. Additional work was requested with regard to the physical
requirements of the positions in order to comply with the requirements of the Americans with

Disabilities Act.
The draft job descriptions were circulated to employees for additional review or appeal. The
responses were considered once again by supervisors and by the consultant. The consultant then
created a final draft of the job descriptions. The draft job descriptions have been provided to the
City Council under separate cover and are available for public inspection in the office of the City
Clerk and the Personnel Department.
It is recommended that these job descriptions be adopted and the Administrative Services
Administrative Secretary position be reclassified. The consultant has recommended that this
position be reclassified to Personnel Technician due to the duties performed by the position. It is
recommended that the reclassification of the Personnel Technician be to Range 11, Step B of the
Salary Schedule and retroactive to the first day of the first pay period in October, which is an
effective date of September 28, 1996. The additional cost would be funded by line item transfer
within the department's budget and will not require an additional appropriation
Since the initial presentation of the Classification Plan to the City Council, additional input has been
sought from employee representatives on the job descriptions. That information was forwarded to
the consultant. Primarily, job descriptions were clarified providing more current information on job
duties and a job description was created for the Receptionist position The Receptionist position was
previously recommended to be part of the Secretary classification

2. Approving the reclassification of the Administrative Services Department Administrative
Secretary to Personnel Technician, and,
