SUBJECT:

City Council 2023 Regular Meeting Calendar – Adoption
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt the City Council Regular Meeting Schedule for calendar year 2023.

BACKGROUND:

Attached is the proposed calendar for Regular City Council meetings, which are held on the first and third Mondays of each month with the exceptions as noted, due to holidays. One regular meeting is scheduled for the months of July, August, and December.

Please note that the second meeting in June occurs on the new federal holiday of Juneteenth – Monday, June 19, 2023. In June 2022, the second June meeting fell on June 20th, which was the recognized day for celebrating Juneteenth. We heard from several members of the public concerned and expressing confusion that we were holding a meeting on a new federal holiday. It was explained that the City does not follow all the federal holidays, for instance Columbus Day.

The Council could leave the calendar as is or direct staff to move the meeting to Tuesday, June 20th. Council could also discuss and direct other options. If Council wishes to discuss, this item should be removed from the Consent Calendar. If it is not removed, we will adopt the calendar as presented.

BUDGET IMPACT:

There is no budget impact from this administrative decision.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

This item is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).)

FROM: Drew Corbett, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Human Resources Department
MEETING DATE: July 18, 2022
SUBJECT: Classification Updates – Department of Public Works and Library Department RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt a Resolution to approve the: 1) job specifications and salary ranges for two new classifications of Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Technicians; 2) addition of five WWTP positions and two Public Works Engineering Department positions; 3) elimination of three WWTP positions; 4) revisions to the job specifications for various classifications in the WWTP and in the Engineering Division; and 5) reallocation of a vacant Library Assistant position to an Administrative Technician classification in the Library Department.

BACKGROUND:

Per San Mateo Municipal Code Section 2.57.030(d), classification updates become effective upon approval by the City Council.

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT:

Wastewater Treatment Plant
A technical staffing derivation developed for the City by a Wastewater Treatment Plant optimization consultant determined that based on the significant increase in Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) assets requiring maintenance, new classifications and additional staff would be necessary to adequately maintain the new WWTP. At the April 4, 2022 study session, the City Council supported increased staffing at the WWTP to meet the future needs under the Clean Water Program. The Public Works Department proposes the following classification updates:

1. Create a Senior Instrument Control Technician classification Senior Instrument Control Technician is the advanced level of the existing Instrument Control Technician classification and is proposed to monitor, fix, adjust and oversee contractors in relation to the WWTP’s Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. This position will perform lead duties over the Instrument Control Technician and proposed new Calibration Technician and will provide oversight responsibilities and focus on SCADA systems. In maintaining our internal salary relationships, the recommended monthly salary range for Senior Instrument Control Technician is $9,120.20 – $10,405.82, which is 10% above the salary range for Instrument Control Technician.

2. Create a Calibration Technician classification
The Calibration Technician is the entry level of the existing Instrument Control Technician classification and will be responsible for calibrating, testing, and maintaining the large number of data acquisition, radio communications, and instrumentation equipment at the WWTP. This position will have limited focus on controls and SCADA systems. In 7 of 615

CITY OF SAN MATEO
3 5
5 8
maintaining our internal salary relationships, the recommended monthly salary range for Calibration Technician is $7,461.98 – $8,513.86, which is 10% below the salary range for Instrument Control Technician.

3. Add 3.0 merit FTEs Wastewater Treatment Plant Mechanic I-II The addition of 3.0 FTEs will bring the total number of WWTP Mechanic I-II positions to six and will be organized into two teams and overseen by two WWTP Mechanic IIIs.

4.Add 1.0 merit FTE Wastewater Treatment Plant Mechanic III The addition of 1.0 FTE will bring the total number of WWTP Mechanic III positions to two and will oversee a team of three WWTP Mechanic I-IIs, providing two four-person mechanic teams to address the maintenance needs at the WWTP.

5.Add 1.0 merit FTE Facilities Maintenance Worker
The Facilities Maintenance Worker is an existing classification within the City but a new role at the WWTP and will be responsible for performing semi-skilled and skilled maintenance and repair work.

6.Eliminate 2.0 merit FTEs Wastewater Treatment Plant Shift Supervisor The elimination of 2.0 FTEs Wastewater Treatment Plant Shift Supervisor supports the actual operational practices at the WWTP and future needs based on the technical staffing derivation. The WWTP has two day and night shifts, overseen by two Shift Supervisors. The City has never staffed up to the allocated 4.0 FTEs and does not intend to, allowing budget savings by eliminating two unutilized FTEs.

7.Eliminate 1.0 merit FTE Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator III The elimination of 1.0 FTE WWTP Operator III is consistent with the technical staffing derivation and the current and planned operational practices, allowing budget savings by eliminating one unutilized FTE.

8.Update the Job Specifications for the following classifications Updates to the job specifications for the classifications of WWTP Manager, Laboratory Supervisor, and Regulatory Compliance Manager reflect the accreditation requirements under the National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference (NELAC) Institute for environmental laboratory oversight and management, and the duties performed in these positions. The updates to the job specifications for the classifications of WWTP Operations Superintendent, Instrument Control Technician, WWTP Mechanic III and Facilities Maintenance Worker are proposed to accurately reflect the reporting structure, essential duties, and change the certification from mandatory to preferred to improve recruitment and increase the pool of potential candidates.

Engineering Services

9.Add 1.0 merit FTE Junior/Assistant/Associate Engineer The addition of 1.0 FTE Junior/Assistant/Associate Engineer is proposed to sufficiently provide adequate support in the Private Development section working on building permits and planning applications.

10.Add 1.0 merit FTE Administrative Assistant
The addition of 1.0 FTE Administrative Assistant is proposed to support the growing needs for administrative support in the Private Development section.

11.Update the job specification for the classification of Junior/Assistant/Associate Engineer Updates to the job specification for the classification of Junior/Assistant/Associate Engineer reflect the revisions made in 2017 by the Analytical Technical focus group as part of the core competency project to more accurately reflect the duties performed in the position.

LIBRARY DEPARTMENT:

The Library Department has operational needs to add 1.0 FTE Administrative Technician. The Main Library, along with the Hillsdale and Marina Library branches, are currently some of the most widely used public facilities in the City of San Mateo.

With the increased community usage and continued expansion of library services to the community, administrative 8 of 615

CITY OF SAN MATEO
3 5
5 8
responsibilities in the Library Department continue to experience growth without the necessary administrative office staff support to meet service demands. Changes in technology, library operations, and facility maintenance necessitate the creation of this new role. The Administrative Technician position will fulfill a key goal of the Library’s strategic plan to provide staff with meaningful professional growth opportunities since this position is a bridging classification between the Executive Assistant and Management Analyst positions, both of which already exist at the Library. To add 1.0 FTE Administrative Technician position, the Library Department will reallocate a merit Library Assistant I-II position that has been vacant since January 2020 and eliminate two vacant per diem positions; Library Assistant I and Library Aide.

BUDGET IMPACT:

For the classification updates in the Public Works Department, budget appropriations are reflected in the fiscal year 2022- 23 budget and no supplemental appropriation is required. There is no budget impact associated with the updates to the job specifications.

For the classification updates in the Library Department, the Administrative Technician’s annual, fully loaded cost is approximately $34,000 higher than the total of the reallocation and elimination of the Librarian Assistant I/II and two per diem positions. This amount can be absorbed in the Department's fiscal year 2022-23 operating budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

These classification updates are exempt from CEQA review because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this activity may have a significant effect on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3).)

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS
Junior Engineer - This is the entry-level class in the professional engineering series. This class is distinguished from the Assistant Engineer by the performance of the more routine tasks and duties assigned to positions within the series. Incumbents perform less complex office and field engineering work and assignments are generally routine or closely related within a framework of established procedures. Since this class is typically used as a training class, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience.

Assistant Engineers are normally considered to be on a continuing training status and as assigned responsibilities and breadth of knowledge increase with experience and registration is received, may reasonably expect their positions to be reassigned to the next higher class of Associate Engineer.

Associate Engineer - This is the journey level class within the professional engineering series and requires registration. Employees within this class are distinguished from the Assistant Engineer by the greater complexity of the assignments received and by the greater independence with which an incumbent is expected to operate. Incumbents are expected to complete complex engineering assignments requiring the use of judgment and initiative in developing solutions to problems, interpreting general policies, and determining work assignments. Employees at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise, and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Positions in the class are flexibly staffed and are normally filled by advancement from the lower class of Assistant Engineer, or when filled from the outside, require prior advanced technical or professional engineering work experience.
