DATE: AUGUST 22, 2023
DEPARTMENT: HUMAN RESOURCES
FROM: MARINA HORTA-GALLEGOS, HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR TITLE: MODIFICATION TO THE CLASSIFICATION – SALARY SCHEDULE AND WORKFORCE ALLOCATION ADJUSTMENT RECOMMENDED MOTION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve a Resolution to amend the Classification-Salary Schedule and workforce for FY 23-24. Specifically, staff request adjustment of the Classification – Salary Schedule to include 1) Senior Economic Development Manager in the Association of Management Personnel of Salinas (AMPS) unit, 2) the addition of a Retired Annuitant Librarian I, Emergency Vehicle Upfitter, and Plan Checker II; and 3) re-title the Park Grounds Forestry Operations Manager. Additionally, staff request adjusting the authorized workforce allocation for the Police Department to include one Forensic Specialist I and one Administrative Analyst I in the place of the vacant Management Analyst.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution modifying the Classification – Salary Schedule to reflect 1) Senior Economic Development Manager in the AMPS unit; 2) the addition of a Retired Annuitant Librarian I, Emergency Vehicle Upfitter, and Plan Checker II; and 3) re-titled Park Grounds Forestry Operations Manager. Additionally, staff recommends adjusting the workforce allocation for the Police Department to include one Forensic Specialist I and one Administrative Analyst I.
BACKGROUND:
Community Development
When the Senior Economic Development Manager classification was developed it reported directly to the City Manager and was placed in the Confidential Management unit. The position was shifted from Administration to the Community Development Department in FY 22-23. The appropriate bargaining unit now is the AMPS unit.
The City Council previously approved the addition of one Plan Checker I to the Community Development Department’s workforce. Upon further review, staff request the addition of one Plan Checker II in the place of a Plan Checker I.
Library and Community Services Department
The FY 23-24 budget includes the addition of one Park Grounds Forestry Operations Manager. Staff recommend a title change that better reflects the essential functions of the position. Staff recommend re-titling this position to Park Operations Manager.
Staff recommend adding the classification of Retired Annuitant Librarian I to the Classification – Salary Schedule. This would allow for the hiring of a Retired Annuitant as extra help when needed.
Police Department
The Police Department requests the addition of one Forensic Specialist I (non-sworn position). This is the entry level classification in the Forensics series found in the Investigations division. The position is needed to support the volume of work in the division.
Additionally, the Police Department is requesting to underfill and replace the vacant Management Analyst position with an Administrative Analyst I that will primarily oversee grant administration for the Police Department.
Public Works
Staff request that the classification of Emergency Vehicle Upfitter be added to the Classification – Salary schedule. The position was previously authorized and City staff have now met and conferred with the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 521 regarding the job description and salary placement.
The proposed adjustments appear as follows:
CEQA CONSIDERATION:
Not a Project. The City of Salinas has determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378).
STRATEGIC PLAN INITIATIVE:
The proposed action meets the Effective and Culturally Responsive Government Council goal.
DEPARTMENTAL COORDINATION:
Human Resources collaborated with the following departments, Community Development Department, Library and Community Services Department, Police Department, and the Public Works Department in this effort.
FISCAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT:
The Emergency Vehicle Upfitter is funded by Internal Service Fund/Fleet Maintenance. The Plan Checker II is funded by Enterprise Funds. No impact to the General Fund is anticipated for this position. The Retired Annuitant Librarian I is a temporary position. Currently, departments use temporary staff as needed and while funds are available.
