CITY OF MOORPARK, CALIFORNIA
City Co cif Meeting
of ///5 f gg 7
BY:
7�- / 7 i 6.
DATE: November 3, 1997
SUBJECT: Consider Amending the City's Classification Plan by Adopting the
Proposed Classification Descriptions for the Vector Control Specialist,
Vector Control Technician, Assistant City Manager and Senior
Management Analyst and Revised Descriptions for City Manager, City
Clerk, Assistant to the City Manager, Public Works Director, Director of
Community Services, and Director of Community Development; and,
Consider Rescinding Salary Resolution 97 -1359, and Adopting Resolution
97- , adding Vector Control Technician at Range 41, Vector Control
Specialist at Range 59, Senior Management Analyst at Range 65, and
changing Management Analyst from Range 65 to Range 60.
Background
On February 5, 1997, the City adopted Resolution 97 -1272, which was a
comprehensive revision to the job classification plan. On May 21, 1997, the City
adopted Resolution 97 -1319, amending the salaries for the non - competitive service
employees. On July 2, 1997, the Council adopted Resolution 97 -1344, adding four new
classifications approved in the Budget. The salary plan was adjusted on July 16, 1997,
by Resolution Number 97 -1359 all for City job classifications. The Classification Plan
was last changed October 1, 1997, to include a description for receptionist,
distinguishing this job from the secretary classification.
This report requests consideration of four additional changes: 1) to add two
classifications to address the City's agreement with the Moorpark Mosquito Abatement
District; 2) to provide for both Management Analyst and Senior Management Analyst
classifications; 3) to include a section adding "Working Conditions" to the classification
descriptions for City Manager, City Clerk, Assistant to the City Manager, Public Works
1
Director, Director of Community Services, Director of Community Development, and
Assistant City Manager. As an oversight, these descriptions as originally adopted did
not include this language. We have added the language that is included in the Senior
Planner description. That language is:
WORKING CONDITIONS
Environmental Conditions:
Office and field environment; exposure to computer screens, exposure to outside
atmospheric conditions.
Physical Conditions:
Essential functions may require maintaining physical condition necessary for sitting for
prolonged periods of time, standing or walking, travel to various locations; light lifting,
carrying, pushing and pulling, reaching, handling; use of fingers, talking; hearing, near
acuity.
I have not included the revised descriptions for each position, but the recommended
action is to amend them by adding the language stated above; and 4) to re -title the
Deputy City Manager classification to Assistant City Manager. Attachment "A" is a
resolution rescinding Resolution 97 -1272, and incorporating the referenced changes
into the current Classification Plan. Attachment "B" is a Resolution rescinding
Resolution 97 -1359, modifying the salary plan to include these adjustments, and
Attachment "C" are the descriptions for Vector Control Specialist, Vector Control
Technician, Management Analyst, Senior Management Analyst, and Assistant City
Manager.
Discussion
The title of Deputy City Manager was created in 1987, when the position was upgraded
from Director of Administrative Services to Deputy City Manager. Originally, this
position supervised three positions, and directed Finance and Administrative Services.
Several areas of responsibility have been added since this time including the
supervision of the Moorpark Redevelopment Agency, and administration of the law
enforcement contract. The number of staff expanded to ten employees with four
2
divisions reporting directly to this position. This position manages the City in the
absence of the City Manager. The Deputy City Manager title is usually more reflective
of a position with responsibility for one or a limited number of functional areas. The
modified title more accurately reflects this position as the second ranking management
position in the City. There is no proposed change in salary.
The City can improve its flexibility in recruiting for Management Analysts by providing
for two levels. As conceived, the current Management Analyst classification would
become Senior Management Analyst, and future vacancies could be filled at either the
Senior or Management Analyst classification, depending on the qualifications of those
who apply. The Senior Management Analyst would remain at Range 65, ($51,315 -
$65,523), and the Management Analyst would be paid at Range 60 ($45,355 - $55,261)
of the compensation plan. This same strategy was used for the Recreation Coordinator
I and II and Recreation Supervisor classifications, Accounting Technician I and II
classifications, and Code Enforcement Officer I and II classifications. The difference in
the salary range is the same as between the Associate Planner and Senior Planner
classifications. This proposed change also includes an adjustment from two to four
years of relevant work experience for the revised Senior Management Analyst
classification, and a requirement of two years of relevant work experience for the new
Management Analyst classification.
The execution of the Agreement between the City and the Moorpark Mosquito
Abatement District for City management of the District's activities, creates the need to
add two new job classifications to the plan; Vector Control Specialist, and Vector
Control Technician. Their annual salary range is recommended to be generally the
same as it was at the District; $28,797 to $35,086 for the Vector Control Technician,
(Step 41), and $44,914 to $54,723 (Step 59), for the Vector Control Supervisor.
Both Resolution 97 -1359 concerning compensation, and Resolution 97 -1272
concerning the classification plan should be rescinded when revised, and replaced by
new resolutions. Resolution 97 -1272 concerning job classifications is provided in this
report in an abbreviated format, showing just the new classifications. The actual
resolution (kept in the City Clerk's office) will include all classifications.

Recommendation
That the City Council:
A. Rescind Resolution 97 -1272, and adopt Resolution 97- , adding
to the City's classification plan the classifications of Vector Control
Specialist, Vector Control Technician, Assistant City Manager and Senior
Management Analyst, and modifying the Management Analyst
classification; add the Working Conditions section as contained in this
report for the City Manager, City Clerk, Assistant to the City Manager,
Public Works Director, Director of Community Services, Director of
Community Development, and Assistant City Manager classifications;
and,
B. Adopt Resolution No. 97- rescinding Resolution No. 97 -1359,
pertaining to the compensation plan;
1. Adding Vector Control Technician at Range 41 ($28,797 -
$35,086),
2. Adding Vector Control Specialist at Range 59, ($44,914 - $54,723),
3. Adding the Senior Management Analyst classification at Range 65,
($51,315 - $65,523), and
4. Changing Management Analyst salary from Range 65, ($51,315 -
$65,523) to Range 60 ($45,355 - $55,261).
