Analysis:
The Personnel Commission, at its meetings of March 16, 2005; May 18, 2005; and June
27, 2005, approved the following amendments to the City's Classification Plan.
1. Meeting of March 16, 2005: The City Administrator reviewed proposed changes to the
Citywide Table of Organization in which the Finance Officer would be transferred from
the Administrative Services Department to report directly to the City Administrator's
Office. Also, the purchasing and central services function would be transferred from
Administrative Services and report to the Finance Officer. In addition to incorporating
these organizational changes into the classification specification, the Finance Officer
classification specification was further revised to more accurately reflect current duties
and responsibilities.
As a result of restructuring in the City's Risk Management Division, it was also
recommended that a Safety Officer classification be established to emphasize
occupational health, safety, toss prevention andcontrol.
The approved recommendations included:
a) Revising the class specification for the position of Finance Officer.
b) Adding the new classification for the position of Safety Officer.
2. Meeting of May 18, 2005: Due to the consolidation of the parking control function in
the Police Department, the classification specification for Parking/Traffic Control Officer
required deleting reference to use of such positions in the Community Services
Department. Also, due to the restoration of a Crime Analyst position in the Police
Department budget, the classification specification for this position was re-established.
The Community Services Department also sought a minor change in its Community
Services Recreation Supervisor classification specification with regard to the elimination
of Red Cross Instructor level certifications at the City's Gym and Pool. Such
certifications were no longer needed as employees are hired with Red Cross
certifications already in place. Finally, the Planning Department requested a new
classification be developed to provide opportunities to learn the code enforcement field,
especially to employees who had been impacted by City layoffs.
The approved recommendations included:
a) Revise the classification for the position of Parking/Traffic Control Officer.
b) Add the new classification for the position of Crime Analyst.
c) Revise the classification for the position of Community Services Recreation
Supervisor.

REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: August 15, 2005 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER:AS-05-014
d) Add the new classification of Code Enforcement Technician.
3. Meeting of June 27, 2005: The Public Works Department requested that the education
and training requirements of its Construction Inspector job series be revised to include
knowledge of regulations and appropriate certifications to broaden capabilities to
perform inspection duties for all types of public works projects, including water facilities
and structural masonry work. Also, in the Building Department Plan Check series, the
City has experienced numerous difficulties in attracting candidates for Plan Check
Engineer. The Plan Check Engineer is a highly skilled position requiring special
technical expertise and a professional engineer registration. By creating an advanced
journey level classification between a Building Plan Checker and Plan Check Engineer,
the City hopes to enhance its ability to attract applicants as well as retain current
employees by providing additional career growth opportunities.
The approved recommendations included:
a) Revise the classification for the position of Construction Inspector Trainee and retitle
the classification to Construction Inspector I.
b) Revise the classification for the position of Construction Inspector and retitle the
classification to Construction Inspector IL
c) Revise the classification for the position of Senior Construction Inspector.
d) Retitle the classification of Building Plan Checker to Building Plan Checker I.
e) Add the new classification of Building Plan Checker Il.
