Foss, City Manager SUBJECT: Revisions to the Personnel System Prepared by: Angelica Smith, Management Analyst (HR) II EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City’s Personnel System is governed by several documents. Each document addresses a specific set of issues. The Staff Report identifies proposed changes to the City’s current Personnel System. As discussed below, these proposed adjustm ents are based on the need to amend the Benefit Plan for greater consistency, establish and amend City full- and part- time job classifications, and modernize the Personnel System Rules for compliance with recently adopted discrimination laws. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the following: (1) Resolution Amending the Classification Plan; (2) Resolution Amending the Salary Plan for Full-Time Personnel and Management Positions Exempt from Competitive Service; (3) Resolution Amending the Benefit Plan; (4) Resolution Amending the Management Positions Exempt from Competitive Service Resolution and Prescribing Leave Benefits for the Designated Positions; (5) Resolution Amending the FY 2016/2017 Position Allocation Plan. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The proposed changes to the Personnel System, if approved by the City Council, will not require a budget adjustment. Sufficient funding is available in the Fiscal Year 2016 - 2017 budget for the proposed revisions. DESCRIPTION: CLASSIFICATION PLAN AMENDMENT Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job description must be adopted for each classification in the organization. The job description typically includes key elements, knowledge, skills, abilities and requirements of the position. The job descriptions make up the City’s Classification Plan. Page 2 of 4 Based on recent employment separations and a review of the current and future needs of the Building and Facilities Development Divisions, the City Manager has determined that modifications to the Classification Plan are necessary. The City Manager proposes the creation of the hourly position of Plans Examiner I, the creation of an exempt classification of Plans Examiner II, and the creation of the management position Capital Improvement Program Manager. Additionally, in reviewing the anticipated staffing needs for the summer season at the new Emerald Glen Recreation and Aquatics Complex (The Wave), Staff has requested modifications to the existing Slide Attendant and Senior Facility Attendant part -time hourly classifications to reflect current and anticipated duties. Lastly, based on a recent human resources consultant review of the City’s Finance Technician series, it was recommended a modification be made to the Senior Finance Technician classification to reflect current duties and the removal of the Bachelor Degree as desirable in the journey technical classification. The City Manager is recommending that the above Job Classifications be created and/or amended as described in the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) to meet the current and future staffing needs of the City. SALARY PLAN AMENDMENT Included in the City’s Personnel System are Resolutions that address salary ranges for full- and part-time personnel and management positions exempt from competitive service. The attached Resolution (Attachment 2) is a proposed amendment to the City’s Salary Plan for the inclusion of the following positions: Plans Examiner I, Plans Examiner II and Capital Improvement Program Manager. The salary ranges for the Plans Examiner I/II and Capital Improvement Program Manager were determined based on assessments of comparable positions in similar agencies and then benched with City classifications of related job scope and requirements to establish pay equity within the City’s Salary Plan. BENEFIT PLAN AMENDMENT The City’s Personnel System Rules require the City Council adopt a Benefit Plan. The City’s Benefit Plan identifies various health and welfare benefits that assist the City in attracting and retaining quality employees. The City’s Benefit Plan is maintained in a single source document which provides greater control over administration and amendments. The original Benefit Plan was established in 1984 and was renovated in 1991 by the adoption of Resolution 109-91 on October 28, 1991. Since that time there have been numerous amendments to the City’s adopted Benefit Plan. On September 15, 2015, the City Council approved the creation of a retiree -only Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). Implemented and effective on January 1, 2 016, the provisions of the HRA benefit are outlined in the City’s HRA Plan document. After implementation, it was suggested by retirees, and agreed by the City Manager, that the City would recommend the removal of Section 11 (c) from the Benefit Plan. Du ring calendar year 2016 no amendments were made to the City’s Benefit Plan. Page 3 of 4 The removal of section 11 (c) has no impact on the HRA Plan document which clearly identifies participant obligations under an Internal Revenue Code/HRA reimbursement program. Below is the section proposed to be removed: The reimbursement of any CalPERS retiree medical premium expenses pursuant to this section shall be contingent upon the fulfillment of requirements pursuant to provision of the Internal Revenue Code, the City’s and/or the City’s selected third party administrator. Retirees are solely responsible for any tax consequences associated with the receipt of benefits under this section. The second proposed change to the Benefit Plan is based on a recent employment separation and a review of the current and future staffing needs of the Public Works Department. The City Manager’s recommends that the position of CIP Manager shall be added to the management positions eligible for a car allowance. The City’s car allowance is $190 per month and is identified in the Benefit Plan document (Attachment 3). MANAGEMENT POSITIONS EXEMPT FROM COMPETITIVE SERVICE AMENDMENT The position of Capital Improvement Program Manager will be designated as management and exempt from the City’s competitive service system. In order to identify this position as management and exempt, a separate Resolution must be adopted that establishes the benefits for such management positions. The Resolution amending the management positions exempt from competitive service (Attachment 4) designates the position as exempt and defines specific benefits. AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2016-2017 ADOPTED POSITION ALLOCATION PLAN Each Fiscal Year, as part of the City’s adopted budget, the City Council adopts a Position Allocation Plan. This plan establishes authorized City positions. The City Manager proposes the new position of Plans Examiner I/II in Community Development/Building Division be filled immediately for the balance of the Fiscal Year. The anticipated placement of this new position necessitates that the approved Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Position Allocation Plan be amended to reflect the increased staffing level. Staff is requesting the City Council authorize the addition of one position in Community Development Department (Attachment 5). The proposed changes to the Personnel System as described above, if approved by the City Council, will become effective as of March 21, 2017. NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None.
