Statement of Issue: The City's Classification Plan needs to be amended to add new,
delete old and modify position titles and include updated classification information.
Funding Source: The proposed amendments are related to departmental budget cuts,
resulting in a savings of approximately $1,365,000 annually.
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No.o 6 3-�? a resolution of the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach to amend the classification plan by adding, deleting and
modifying classifications and modifying compensation in the City Classification Plan.
Alternative Action(s): Make no changes to the City's Classification Plan.
Analysis:
On June 18, 2003, the Personnel Commission unanimously approved the following
amendments to the City's Classification Plan.
Senior Deputy City Attorney/Litigator and Paralegal (New Classifications)
In response to a July 2000 Management Review of the City Attorney's office, the City
Attorney has requested two new classifications be established. The creation of a Senior
Deputy City Attorney/Litigator classification would enhance efforts to control costs in
connection with the retention of outside counsel. The Senior Deputy City Attorney/Litigator
would be a senior trial counsel position whose primary responsibilities would include tort and
police civil rights defense. By hiring an experienced litigator, approximately 50% of tort and

REQUEST FOR ACTION
MEETING DATE: July 7, 2003 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AS-03-027
police civil rights cases could be handled in-house. This impact is approximately an annual
savings of$440,000.
To support the Litigation Division of the City Attorney's office, a paralegal classification was
also recommended in the management review. The paralegal would assist attorneys in the
preparation and coordination of all stages of litigation and transactional work. This
classification would require one year of full-time experience performing paralegal or law
clerking duties and a Legal Assistant certificate from an American Bar Association-approved
paralegal program.
The recommended base salary range for the Senior Deputy City Attorney/Litigator is range
605 ($7,724-$9,570), which is 5% above a Deputy City Attorney III and 4.5% below an
Assistant City Attorney. The City recognizes that this would create a compaction issue; but
because of current budget constraints, establishment of a higher base salary level is not
feasible at this time. An average of the cities of Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach,
Orange and Santa Ana for a comparable position shows that the recommended salary range
would still provide a competitive salary. Due to the nature of the duties of the Senior Deputy
City Attorney, it is designated as a Non-Associated classification.
The recommended base salary range for the Paralegal is range 470 ($3,940-$4,881), which
is internally aligned to the salary of an Administrative Aide position and is 14% higher than
an Administrative Assistant and 13.5% lower than the Law Office Manager. This salary is
also comparable to the median of Orange County cities with City Attorney's Offices and the
average of the local labor market. The Paralegal would be designated as a classification
represented by the Huntington Beach Municipal Employees Association (MEA). Although it
is recommended that the classification of Paralegal be added to the City's Classification
Plan, there are no plans to fill this position at this time.
Detention Administrator (New Classification)
The City of Huntington Beach Police Department operates a Type 1 Jail Facility, which is a
State Board of Corrections designation that defines the operating standard for accepting pre-
sentenced and pre-arraigned inmates limited to a stay of 96 hours. The City's jail operation
is overseen by a Police Sergeant and includes the following non-sworn staff: Nine (9)
Detention Officers, five (5) Senior Detention Officers and four (4) Detention Officer, Nurses.
Police Sergeants are currently rotated throughout the three divisions of the Police
Department, with three years being the maximum length of an assignment. Although this
has been an effective method for managing the detention facility, the department is
interested in creating a civilian Detention Administrator position to bring continuity to the
operation.
There are five Type 1 jail facilities in Orange County: Anaheim, Costa Mesa, Fullerton,
Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. Santa Ana and the County of Orange operate a
Type 2 jail, which is an operation greater in scope. Some other cities in Orange County have
smaller holding facilities that are not at the level of a Type 1. Among the Type 1 facilities,
there is still a wide range in scope of operations (i.e., square footage, number of bookings,
staffing, level of work furlough and "pay and stay" programs, etc.) However, there is a strong
comparable at the Senior Detention Officer level for the five cities.

MEETING DATE: July 7, 2003 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AS-03-027
The Senior Detention Officer is used as a benchmark anchor in our review of survey data.
Staff also considered internal alignment with two other non-sworn management positions in
the Police Department, the Communications Manager and the-Records Administrator. The
scope of responsibilities and duties, including the education and experience levels are similar
to the proposed position; therefore staff recommends compensation and representation for
the Detention Administrator to be the same as Communications Manager and Records
Administrator at range 528 ($5262 - $6,519), and designated represented by the
Management Employees' Organization (MEO).
The civilianizing of detention management is one of the department's budget reduction
recommendations. The recommended salary is 10% below that of the Police Sergeant and
the department is projecting a savings of$25,000 annually with this organizational change.
Public Works Reorganization
In response to the City Administrator's request for budget reduction strategies necessary to
address reduced revenues and other financial impacts, the Public Works Department is
proposing a reorganization of its Maintenance Operations Division and the elimination of the
Parks, Trees and Landscape (PTL) Division.
Maintenance Operations Manager (Modified Classification)
Staff previously assigned to the PTL Division would be transferred to the Maintenance
Operations Division, with the exception of the Landscape Architect, who would be assigned
to the Engineering Division and report to a Principal Civil Engineer. This action would delete
the position of Parks, Trees & Landscape Operations Manager (currently filled by a
temporary "acting" assignment) and the classification of Maintenance Operations Manager
would be reclassified (maintaining the same position title) to include the duties and
responsibilities for the maintenance of City facilities, landscaping (parks), street trees,
streets, and vehicles.
There is no proposed change to the compensation level currently established for the position
of Maintenance Operations Manager; however, the Human Resources Division will review
the reclassification impact to determine if a compensation adjustment is warranted
considering both internal alignment and the external labor market.
Equipment Services Crewleader (Modified Classification)
Currently, the classification of Equipment Services Crewleader provides administrative
support for the City's automated fleet management and fuel systems (range 471 $3957 -
$4905) and the Park Equipment Crewleader is responsible for overseeing small engine and
light equipment repair (range 490 $4350 - $5390). It is proposed that the position of Park
Equipment Crewleader be deleted and that the position of Equipment Services Crewleader
be reclassified to include the duties and responsibilities of small engine and light equipment
repair. With these additional duties, it is recommended that the compensation be
established at range 490, which is the level of the deleted position.

MEETING DATE: July 7, 2003 DEPARTMENT ID NUMBER: AS-03-027
Wastewater Supervisor (New Classification)
At its June 16, 2003 meeting, the City Council approved the classification title of Utilities
Manager to facilitate the reorganization of-the Water Operations Division and establishment
of a Utilities Division to include both-potable water and .wastewater activities. Wastewater
activities were formerly under the-purview of the Street and Sewer Maintenance Supervisor
in the Maintenance Operations Division. Consequently, it is now proposed that a new
classification of Wastewater Supervisor be established to oversee the wastewater support
service activities of line cleaning and pumping. As a result, the classification of Street and
Sewer Maintenance Supervisor is proposed for deletion.
Due to similar scope in duties and responsibilities, the recommended salary range for the
new classification of Wastewater Supervisor is proposed for alignment at the same level as
the current positions of Water Production Supervisor and Water Distribution Supervisor.
These positions are at salary range 527 ($5,236-$6,486). Likewise, the Wastewater
Supervisor is determined to be appropriately designated as a classification represented by
the MEO.
Street and Building Maintenance Supervisor (New Classification)
To address the Street activities currently under the Street and Sewer Maintenance
Supervisor, it is proposed that the duties associated with the supervision of street
maintenance and facilities maintenance operations be combined in a new. classification of
Street and Building Maintenance Supervisor. As a result, the classification of Building
Maintenance Supervisor is proposed for deletion.
Facilities Maintenance Crewleader (Modified Classification)
Lastly, it is proposed that the current Painting Crewleader and the Electrical Maintenance
Crewleader classifications be deleted and duties combined into the current classification of
Facilities Maintenance Crewleader. The Facilities Maintenance Crewleader is proposed to
report to the new classification of Street and Building Maintenance Supervisor. At this time
there is no compensation adjustment proposed for this position, but a compensation review
may be proposed at a later date after a closer evaluation on the impact of additional duties
and responsibilities.
These proposed reclassifications correlate directly to $900,000 of the $2,700,000 in budget
reductions proposed for the Public Works Department.

SUBJECT: ADOPT RESOLUTION q:�L REGARDING CLASSIFICATION PLAN
AMENDMENT
Statement of Issue,Funding Source,Recommended Action,Alternative Action(s),Analysis,Environmental Status,Attachment(s)
Statement of Issue: The City's Classification Plan needs to be amended to add new,
delete old and modify position titles and include updated classification
Funding Source: Funding for the amendment is included in the FY 02-03 budget.
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. , a resolution of the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach to amend the classification .plan by adding, deleting and
modifying classifications in the City Classification Plan.
Alternative Action(s): Make no changes to the City's Classification Plan.
Analysis: In September 2001, the City entered into an agreement with Public Sector
Personnel Consultants to conduct a classification and compensation study. The study
included all non-clerical and non-information systems positions of the Municipal Employees'
Association (MEA) and was agreed to in the 1999-2001 Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU). The study results were to be a subject of negotiation in the successor MOU. On
April 1, 2002, the City Council approved the negotiated MOU with MEA for contract period
December 21, 2002 through December 20, 2003, which included approval of the
classification and compensation study results conducted by Public Sector Personnel
Consultants. However, a resolution amending the Classification Plan was not part of that
action due to the need for approval by the Personnel Commission of all-classification

took portions of the classification recommendations by department order to the Personnel
Commission over a series of monthly meetings for their approval. (Dates referenced in the
resolution.) The Personnel Commission completed their approval of the classification
recommendations generated as a result of the study.
Also, recent classification and compensation reviews conducted by the Human Resources
Division included the following: As part of an effort to improve the alignment of water
operations within the City, the Public Works Department proposed a reorganization in which
the wastewater section would be transferred from the Maintenance Operations Division to
the Water Operations Division. Currently, the Water Division is responsible for the
production, quality and distribution of water, which includes maintenance of waterlines, as
well as meter reading activities. In this proposal, the Water Division would be restructured as
the Utilities Division and include wastewater collection. For this organizational change, the
classification impact would include a change in job title for the current Water Operations
Manager position to Utilities Manager and a revision to the class specification to include
duties and responsibilities for oversight of both potable water and wastewater operations. As
information, the current Water Operations Manager position is vacant. Also, a salary survey
of Orange County agencies was conducted for a comparable position to the new Utilities
Manager. Based on the data collected, no change is recommended for the salary range that
is currently established for Water Operations Manager ($7,205 to $8,925/monthly). The
position also remains properly designated as a classification represented by the Huntington
Beach Management Employees' Organization (MEO).
Lastly, a recent review of the class specification for position of Fire Medical Coordinator was
necessary for recruitment planning. Results of this review find that an update to the job
specification is necessary to address current organizational needs of the Fire Department.
The proposed revisions include a change in the reporting relationship of the position from a
Battalion Chief assigned to Emergency Services Operations to the Fire Chief. Also, in
reporting directly to the Fire Chief, the importance of the Fire Med program is emphasized as
a major service component and revenue-generating program for the City. Additional
revisions include an emphasis in business plan development and marketing skills to promote
the program. Also, clarification in the supervisory component is needed to highlight that the
position is responsible for supervising, training, and evaluating assigned support staff, as well
as recommending disciplinary action when appropriate. The Fire Medical Coordinator
requires a thorough understanding of and background in ambulance transportation,
paramedic operations, and medical terminology. The latter is key in explaining and
responding to billing inquiries. No change is recommended in the current salary range of the
Fire Medical Coordinator, which is $5,184 to $6,420. The position is currently designated as
a classification represented by the Management Employees' Organization (MEO).
See Exhibit "A" for a summary listing of each of the classification changes. Detailed
specifications for these positions (referenced as Exhibit B of the resolution) are on file in the
City Clerk's office for review.

Statement of Issue: The City's Classification Plan needs to be amended to delete, add
and modify classifications and establish compensation.
Funding Source: There is no fiscal impact associated with this item. Funds for these
positions are budgeted for fiscal year 2002/03.
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No.°��d3 7, a resolution of the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach to amend the classification plan by adding, deleting, and
modifying classifications and modifying compensation in the City Classification Plan.
Alternative Action(s): Make no changes to the City's Classification Plan.
Analysis: Through the process of public hearing at their December 18, 2002 meeting, the
Personnel Commission approved the new classifications of Principal Librarian, Senior
Services Assistant and Senior Services Transportation Coordinator and the deletion of the
classification of Nutrition/Transit Coordinator.
Principal Librarian
Due to the retirement of the Library Services Manager and the subsequent decision to not
budget the position in fiscal year 2002-03, a reorganization of the Librarian class series is
proposed adding the Principal Librarian classification. Currently, the classifications of
Librarian (top step $4,461) and Senior Librarian (top step $5,338) exist. The classification of
Senior Librarian, under the former organizational structure, reported to the Library Services

Manager and supervised a single functional area. Under the reorganization precipitated by
the retirement of the Library Services Manager, additional functional areas were added to
each Senior Librarian, resulting in greater accountability and responsibility for programs, staff
and volunteers. The Principal Librarian position is proposed to properly address the
increased scope of responsibility, accountability and the change in reporting structure.
On December 18, 2002, the Personnel Commission approved the new classification of
Principal Librarian. This action adds Principal Librarian to the series, with the proposed top
step of $6,201, which is 16% above Senior Librarian and is 14% below the previous
classification of Library Services Manager. The Principal Librarian position will allow for the
reclassification of the current three Senior Librarians.
Senior Services Assistant and Senior Services Transportation Coordinator
Since the mid 1970's, the City has provided transportation services for senior citizens who
cannot drive. Beginning with a single automobile, one staff member transported six to eight
seniors a day, driving to doctor appointments and other errands. Over the past twenty five
years, this program has grown to include full time staff, part time staff and volunteer drivers,
utilizing two buses, four vans and several automobiles to transport up to 65 seniors a day.
Most of the growth in the program has occurred since 1998, when the City began
participation in a Senor Mobility Pilot Program with the Orange County Transportation
Authority (OCTA). The three-year pilot program was very successful and on October 11,
2001, the OCTA Board approved a ten-year $28 million Senior Mobility Program grant.
Huntington Beach, along with other participating cities, is awarded 80 percent of operating
funds and technical assistance annually to serve non-driving seniors.
The current classification of Nutrition/Transit Coordinator represents incumbents who
coordinate the senior transportation program, act as drivers in the transportation program,
`and coordinate the senior meals program. For proper classification of duties, it is
recommended that the classification be divided, creating the titles of Senior Services
Assistant and Senior Services Transportation Coordinator.
As the duties of the staff position responsible for the meals program and those of the drivers
have not changed significantly, it is recommended that there be no change in compensation
(top step $2478), but only a change in title from Nutrition/Transit Coordinator to Senior
Services Assistant. However, as explained above, the staff position overseeing the
transportation program has grown in responsibilities; requiring a greater skill set for
supervising and training volunteers and staff, coordinating services, conducting marketing
and conducting outreach efforts in conjunction with OCTA, and knowledge of grant
compliance and reporting. Compensation is recommended that it be tied to the Volunteer
Services Coordinator position (top step $3957), which has similar qualifications, scope of
responsibilities and duties, and represents a comparable contribution to the Community
Services Department. This salary increase will not impact the general fund, as the Senior
Mobility Program Grant funds 75% of the salary and the remaining 25% is funded by Air
Quality Management District (AQMD)funds.
