Funding Source: There is no fiscal impact to this action Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No W-1 -18 , a resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach to amend the classification plan by modifying the classification for Street Maintenance Crewleader, Firefighter and Senior Detention Officer in the City classification plan. Alternative Action(s): Make no changes to the City's Classification Plan. Analysis: Street Maintenance Crewleader, Public Works Department In 2001, the City contracted with Public Sector Personnel Consultants to conduct a comprehensive classification and compensation study of classifications represented by the Municipal Employees Association (MEA). As a result, the classification of Street Services Crewleader was revised and retitled to Street Maintenance Crewleader. In revising the job specification for this classification, duties emphasized general street maintenance and repair. Specific job tasks related to hazardous materials, concrete and street sweeping were deleted. r REQUEST FOR ACTION MEETING DATE: 3121/2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:AS-05-008 The functions of this classification have always included responsibilities for oversight of concrete maintenance and repair, street sweeping, and hazardous materials cleanup and disposal. Therefore, the recommended changes to the attached specification for Street Maintenance Crewleader reinstate these duties. There are no changes recommended to the current salary range established for this position. Firefighter, Fire Department It has been over 10 years since the City conducted a Firefighter recruitment. After reviewing the current job specification, it was determined that changes were needed to reflect the current operational needs of the Fire Department. One of the more obvious outdated requirements is the need for previous experience in the Fire Apprentice program. The apprentice program was eliminated in the 1980's. To bring the job classification to current standards, a survey of local fire departments within Orange County was conducted to evaluate and compare the minimum qualifications of similar Firefighter positions. Based on results of this survey, the proposed changes are in line with local fire departments. There are no changes recommended to the current salary range established for this position. Senior Detention Officer, Police Department As part of recent negotiations with the Huntington Beach Police Officers' Association (HBPOA), it was requested that the title be changed for the position of Senior Detention Officer to Detention Shift Supervisor. Currently, there are five employees in the classification, reporting to a civilian Detention Administrator. As clearly demonstrated in the current classification, these positions "supervise personnel and functions relating to incarceration of prisoners during a shift." Supervisory skills and functions are further itemized in the provisions for essential duties, knowledge, abilities, and education. These positions supervise, train, and evaluate subordinate personnel and coordinate the work schedules and projects of Detention Officers.
