PRIORITY POLICY STATEMENT
This item matches the following Priority Policy Statement:
Fiscal and Organizational Stability.
FISCAL IMPACT
This item generates no fiscal impact since the Maintenance Worker Series and Electrical and HVAC Lead Worker Classification Plans updates do not yield salary changes.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Senior Maintenance Worker Series
Four incumbent Water Services Workers received a classification change to Senior Maintenance Worker I or Senior Maintenance Worker II, depending on possession of requisite certificates, in 2021. All remained assigned to the Water Metering Division within the Public Works Department. This change allowed the affected employees greater upward mobility as Senior Maintenance Worker is part of a series, whereas Water Services Worker is a single-level classification.
Staff proposes revising the Maintenance Worker Series classification specification to include duties performed by members of this division and reflect the Senior Maintenance Worker duties when assigned to Water Metering. Staff also added language to facilitate progressions within the Maintenance Worker Series and allow the Public Works Department to move staff from Maintenance Worker to Senior Maintenance Worker commensurate with experience, knowledge and work performed. This action would not result in fiscal impact as staff does not recommend a salary change.
Electrical and HVAC Lead Worker
The City last revised Electrical and HVAC Lead Worker in 2001. This lead position emphasizes leading crews responsible for electrical, air conditioning, heating, ventilation and telemetering equipment testing and repair. Public Works management feels the classification specification should reflect the diverse tasks performed by building and facilities staff and Human Resources concurs.
The revised classification specification reflects the work performed by building and facilities members in various trades, including plumbing, carpentry, electrical and HVAC. Staff recommends a title change to Facilities Lead Worker, which better aligns with the revisions. This title change would apply to the Electrical and HVAC Lead Worker. This action would not result in any fiscal impact as staff does not recommend a salary change.
Staff incorporated clean-up language throughout both classification specifications.
Obsolete Classifications Removal
Staff recommends removing Water Services Worker and Water Quality Specialist from the classification plan. Both positions remain vacant and non-budgeted. The Public Works department does not anticipate using these classifications as recently created or revised classification specifications include duties of these positions.
