BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
New Classification:
SENIOR SUSTAINABILITY SPECIALIST (T804): Due to the changing needs of the Public Works Department and the desire to provide an advanced journey-level opportunity to the already existing journey-level position, the Sustainability Specialist classification is being changed into a flexibly-staffed classification. The current journey-level classification of Sustainability Specialist will be the lower level of the flex classification, while the new advanced journey- level classification is being created with the title Senior Sustainability Specialist. The salary for the Senior Sustainability Specialist has been internally set to be ten percent (10%) above Sustainability Specialist (T803). The salary range for Senior Sustainability Specialist is $48.55 per hour at Step A and $59.00 per hour at Step E.
Salary Adjustments:
EQUITY AND INCLUSION OFFICER (U340): The salary for Equity and Inclusion Officer is internally set to be equivalent to Assistant to the City Manager (U320). In February 2022, the Assistant to the City Manager classification received a ten percent (10%) equity adjustment effective November 7, 2022, as a result of a total compensation market study. As such, the Equity and Inclusion Officer shall receive a ten percent (10%) salary adjustment effective November 7, 2022. The salary range for Equity and Inclusion Officer is $61.79 per hour at Step A and $75.09 per hour at Step E.
FISCAL IMPACT
