BACKGROUND:
The Human Resources Department's Labor Relations and Classification & Compensation Division is responsible for managing classification and compensation work for the City. Periodically there is a need to update or add job classifications and salary rates as duties and the operational needs of the City change over time and the marketplace adjusts. The City's Manual of Personnel & Administrative Rules establishes a comprehensive process for classification submission in which the Human Resources Department reviews, approves, and provides recommendations on classification requests.
The Pasadena Water and Power Department requested a compensation review of the Assistant General Manager of Water & Power classification to ensure continued competitiveness in the marketplace. The following classification was reviewed:

The Pasadena Planning and Community Development Department requested a compensation review of the Plans Examiner series to ensure continued competitiveness in the marketplace. The following series was reviewed:
Plans Examiner (Plans Examiner-Principal Plans Examiner) The Rent Stabilization Department requested the development of two new classifications:
Hearing Officer
Senior Hearing Officer
The Senior Hearing Officer and Hearing Officer produce written decisions on landlord- tenant disputes covered by the Charter that reflect the evidence, findings and ultimate decision, as required under the standards of judicial review of administrative decisions.
The Senior Hearing Officer supervises assigned staff and manages all appeal hearings.
As a result of the reviews above, Human Resources recommends establishing three new classifications and salaries and updating the existing salary control rate of four classifications. The recommended salary control rates for all classifications were determined following an analysis of comparable classifications in the labor market and/or an analysis of internal alignment with comparable classifications within the City.
All recommended changes are intended to support the City's ability to recruit and retain skilled personnel in a highly competitive labor market. These recommendations also provide standard differentials and alignments between the levels in the series. This action does not require any additional FTEs.
Of the classifications noted below, Pasadena Management Association (PMA) represents six and one classification is non-represented.
Non-Represented Classifications
Assistant General Manager of W&P: Establish a new control rate of $254,827 for the existing classification of Assistant General Manager ofW&P. The existing control rate is $245,498.
