CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 16, 2025
TITLE: APPROVE REVISIONS TO JOB DESCRIPTIONS BASED ON CITYWIDE CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION STUDY.
PAGE: 2
BACKGROUND
In February 2022, the City contracted with Gallagher (formerly Koff & Associates) to conduct a Classification and Compensation Study as outlined in the 2019-2023 Memorandum of Understanding between the City and American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Unit. On November 21, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-073, amending portions of the City’s Classification Plan and Salary Schedule to implement the results of the AFSCME Study.
Following directions from the City Council, Gallagher expanded the effort to include a Citywide Classification and Compensation Study. The same comprehensive and methodical process used in the AFSCME Study was applied to all remaining City positions, excluding sworn employees who are subject to a separate labor agreement timeline. This citywide effort culminated in the adoption of Resolution No. 2024-029, which implemented recommended salary adjustments and updated job titles in the City’s Classification Plan and Salary Schedule.
The Citywide Classification and Compensation Study is now complete.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS
Based on data collected through the Citywide Classification and Compensation Study, Gallagher updated the City’s job descriptions to accurately reflect the current duties and qualifications of each position. This was a collaborative process that included input from employees, managers, department heads, employee associations. To begin, employees completed Position Description Questionnaires (PDQs), which provided detailed baseline information about their roles and responsibilities. Following this, employees participated in interviews that allowed for clarification, additional context, and further insight into their job functions and responsibilities. Together, these steps ensured that the study was informed by both comprehensive written input and dialogue with employees.
As a result of the Citywide Classification and Compensation Study, 152 job descriptions were revised. These revisions will support the City’s recruitment efforts and ensure alignment with the current job market standards. In accordance with Resolution No. 85-52, the City Council must formally adopt the revised job descriptions as part of the City’s Classification Plan.
Adoption of the revised job descriptions carries no fiscal impact. All related salary adjustments and reclassifications through the Citywide Classification and Compensation Study have been completed and were adopted by the City Council under Resolution Nos. 2023-073 and 2024- 029.

ASSISTANT PLANNER
DEFINITION
Under general supervision, performs professional current or long-range planning duties involving land use, populations, structures, economic activities, housing, transportation, and related subjects; conducts basic research and analysis, site plan, and architecture plan review; and performs related duties as assigned.
SUPERVISION RECEIVED AND EXERCISED
Receives general supervision from assigned supervisory or management personnel. Exercises no direct supervision over staff.
CLASS CHARACTERISTICS
This is the entry-level classification in the Planner series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents learn and perform routine current or long-range planning duties while learning City policies and procedures.

Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the Associate Planner level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits an established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise.
