DESCRIPTION: 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 adjustments are based on the need
to modify or add several new job classifications to the City's Classification Plan.
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.
As part of the Fiscal Year 2001-2002 Budget the City Manager recommended and the City Council
approved the addition of several new classifications. After the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2001-2002
Budget, the City Manager requested that the Personnel Office work with specific Department Heads to
development each new classification pursuant to the scope of duties. Attached to the Resolution
(Attachment 1) are Exhibits C, D, E and G, which are the newly developed job descriptions for the
following classifications:
Housing Specialist
Parks and Community Services Manager
· Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator
· Senior Building Inspector
COPIES TO:
ITEM NO.
In addition to the above, there are three existing job classifications that require revisions to included
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) language as required by law. These updated classifications are
found in Exhibits A, B, and F of the Resolution (Attachment 1) and include the following positions:
· Assistant Civil Engineer
· Heritage Center Director
· Public Works Inspector
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the Classification Plan.
SALARY PLAN AMENDMENT
Included in the City's personnel system are resolutions that address salary ranges for part-time and full-
time personnel. The attached Resolution is a proposed amendment to the City Salary Plan (Attachment 2)
for full-time personnel. Once the job descriptions were developed, the City's Personnel Officer took the
positions to market for development of the appropriate salary range and alignment within the City's
existing Salary Plan. The resolution also identifies positions that are exempt from the Federal Labor
Standards Act (FLSA) overtime provision and those that are not. The Salary Plan resolution (Attachment

· Housing Specialist- $5,141 - $6,426
· Parks and Community Services Manager - $5,782 - $7,228
· Parks and Facilities Development Coordinator - $4,772 - $5,965

Fiscal Year 2001-2002 salary range values have previously been adopted for the Heritage Center Director,
Assistant Civil Engineer, and Public Works Inspector.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the Salary Plan
MANAGEMENT POSITIONS EXEMPT FROM COMPETITIVE SERVICE AMENDMENT
The position of Parks and 'Community Services 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 in Attachment 3 designates the newly created position of Parks and Community Services

Upon adoPtion by the City Council, staff will begin the recruitment and selection process to fill these
