RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:

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 overtime 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.
A provision in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City and Pasadena Management Association (PMA) also provides a compensation review for classifications or classification series as outlined in the MOU. The following classifications were reviewed:
Senior Building Inspector
