PREPARED BY: CLAY MARTIN, DIRECTOR OF ADMINISTRATIVE SE i 'IC.9S SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION �REGARDING CLASSIFICATION PLAN AMENDMENT Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachments) Statement of Issue: The City's Classification Plan needs to be amended to: modify the certification requirements for water positions in the Utilities Division, to modify the specifications and titles for Supervisors in the Maintenance Division, and increase years of experience requirements for the positions of Police Sergeant and Police Lieutenant, as approved by the Personnel Commission on September 15, 2004. Funding Source: There is no fiscal impact to this action. Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. of'd , a resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach to amend the classification plan by modifying the class specifications for various positions in the Public Works and the Police Department. Alternative Action(s): Make no changes to the City's Classification Plan. Analysis: Water Classifications in the Utilities Division, Public Works The California Department of Health Services enacted by emergency regulation new certification requirements for chief operators and shift operators of water distribution systems. In accordance with this mandate, effective January 1, 2001, City staff obtained interim Grade III and Grade V certificates based upon the City's service area designation as set by the Department of Health Services as being a T-il, D-V facility and per the recommendation of the Public Works Department/Utilities Division. The City took a conservative approach by requiring up to the highest certification, a Grade V Water Distribution certificate, for the majority of positions affected by the emergency regulation. The State has now provided clarification in meeting this mandate and allows agencies to determine the actual number of incumbents required to serve as chief operators and shift operators. Consequently, the City is now proposing to revise necessary certifications for certain classifications by reducing the levels required. For the majority of water -1- �, job specifications, which gives incumbents until January 1, 2007 to procure the required certificates. This is when interim certificates expire. The City has supported employee training in this area by providing both time off to attend classes and paying all costs for certification. Supervisors in the Maintenance Division, Public Works Budget reductions in FY 02-03 resulted in the elimination of the Parks, Trees and Landscape division (PTL) of Public Works. With the exception of the PTL Superintendent position that was eliminated, the remaining PTL staff, including the positions of Park Maintenance Supervisor and the Tree, Landscape and Pest Control Supervisor, were transferred to the Maintenance Operations Division. In the reorganization, the former classification of Park Maintenance Supervisor (recommended to be re-titled Landscape Maintenance Supervisor) was revised to include responsibility for the landscaping of City rights of way, (i.e. roadway medians and other public outdoor areas). In conducting periodic field inspections, it is more efficient for this classification to oversee the City's weed control program, which includes the application of herbicides, as it has a greater nexus to grounds maintenance. To reflect this change in essential duties, the qualifications have been modified to note that certification as a Western Chapter/International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist and a California Pest Control Advisor license are desirable. With the change in duties of the Landscape Maintenance Supervisor, the fundamental reason for the classification of Tree, Landscape and Pest Control Supervisor (recommended to be re-titled Tree Maintenance Supervisor) is to supervise and coordinate the removal and replacement of street trees on City improvement projects. The incumbent further provides day-to-day oversight of the City's tree installation and maintenance programs. In line with the change in essential duties, staff is recommending removing the requirement for the California Pest Control Advisor license and adding that a Tree Worker Certificate is desired. The requirement for an International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist remains. Police Lieutenant and Police Sergeant The Police Department has been experiencing a high attrition rate as a result of the many retirements since January 2001. Since that time, 34 new officers and/or recruits have been hired. With a department that now consists of a less experienced workforce, it is the desire of the Police Chief to promote those officers having more experience and solid backgrounds to ensure the optimum performance of its sworn personnel.
