Parking & Traffic Control Officers (FT/PT) and Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officers

Incumbents in the Parking & Traffic Control Officer FT/PT classification are responsible for enforcing on-street parking regulations including the San Jose Municipal and California Vehicle parking codes and regulations. Parking & Traffic Control Officers also investigate citizen parking complaints, observe and report unauthorized activities, hazards, and other conditions or emergencies, and perform vehicle abatement duties including, but not limited to, issuing citations and implement towing for violations.

Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officers have lead responsibilities and perform work of greater complexity and scope, such as developing and leading the work of field staff, traffic control implementation, administrative tasks and training.

The Department of Transportation has experienced recruitment and retention issues in the Parking & Traffic Control Officer series and currently has a 21.43% vacancy in the Parking & Traffic Control FT/PT classification and a 20% vacancy rate in the Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officer classification. A survey of comparable classifications in agencies in the City’s marketplace found that the Parking & Traffic Control Officer and Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officer classifications were paid below 100% of market.

The City and OE#3 engaged in the meet and confer process over potential wage adjustments to the Parking & Traffic Control Officer FT/PT and Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officer classifications, and on June 10, 2022, reached a side letter agreement to provide special wage adjustments to the Parking & Traffic Control Officer FT/PT and Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officer classifications with the further understanding that vehicle abatement duties are typical essential dues for Parking & Traffic Control Officers and as adjustments are made to the criteria used in the vehicle abatement program, vehicle abatement duties may be increased and/or expanded as part of the ordinary scope of their responsibilities (Attachment A):

Parking & Traffic Control Supervisors

Incumbents in the Parking & Traffic Control Supervisor classification supervise Parking & Traffic Control Officers and Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officers and perform duties of greater scope and complexity. Among other things, Parking & Traffic Control Supervisors are responsible for the management of the parking control program, coordination of services and events, and negotiation and oversight of contracts.

In order to maintain an appropriate salary differential between the Parking & Traffic Control Officer series and the Parking & Traffic Control Supervisor classification (AMSP), the following pensionable wage increases are also recommended (Attachment B).

in an increase to the top and bottom of the salary range in the Pay Plan for the Parking & Traffic Control Supervisor classification.

CONCLUSION

Due to the recruitment and retention issues in the classifications, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the Administration’s recommendation outlined in this memorandum which would provide a special pensionable base pay increase to the Parking & Traffic Control Officer FT/PT (2451/2452) and Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officer (2453) classifications, as indicated above.

Additionally, it is recommended that the City Council adopt the Administration’s recommendation outlined in this memorandum which would provide a pensionable base pay increase to the Parking & Traffic Control Supervisor (2455) classification, as indicated above.

Based on the recommended adjustments to the salary ranges of the various classification as set forth above, the City of San Jose’s Pay Plan will be amended to change the salary ranges for the classifications.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION/INPUT

No commission recommendation or input is associated with this action.

COST SUMMARY/IMPLICATIONS

The additional ongoing costs pertaining to the base pay increase for the Parking & Traffic Control Officer FT/PT (2451/2452), Senior Parking & Traffic Control Officer (2453), and Parking & Traffic Control Supervisor (2455) classifications are approximately $818,000 in all funds, $715,000 in the General Fund. With City Council approval of the recommended actions, these increased costs will be adjusted, as necessary, for 2022-2023 as part of a future budget process. The increased costs will be offset by a decrease in the Salaries and Benefits Reserve within the General Fund, from individual Unrestricted Ending Fund Balances or alternative reserve offsets within Special Funds, and/or included in various project expenditure appropriations budgeted within Capital Funds, as appropriate. The ongoing increased costs will be factored into the annual development of the 2023-2024 Base Budget.
