AGENDA REPORT ✓f It
Date: January 11, 1999
TO: Members of the City Council
FROM: Keith R. Till, City Manager
SUBJECT: Amendment to Position Classification Plan
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That Council include the Police Corporal and Secretary to the Police Chief job descriptions in
the City's Position Classification Plan and adopt resolution modifying salary and benefits for
same.
BACKGROUND:
In November, 1997, the City Council approved the Position Classification Plan after a
comprehensive classification/ compensation study performed by Ralph Andersen & Associates.
As our work force changes, through attrition of personnel and reorganization, amendments to the
Classification Plan will be needed.
In April, 1998, the City Manager, on recommendation of Chief, received Council authorization
for reorganization of department personnel into a more effective leadership team comprised of
two police captains to oversee field operations and administrative support and downgrading the
vacant lieutenant position to police sergeant to oversee training, recruitment, animal control and
community policing efforts. This was accomplished in two phases during 1998. In January of
1999 the next phase of the reorganization includes upgrading four police officer positions to
corporal.
In addition, due to the expanding level of responsibility and workload generated by the Police
Chief and two division commanders, it is now appropriate to reclassify an Executive Secretary
position to Secretary to the Police Chief. This position has become an integral part of the police
management team and the tasks and responsibilities have grown and are anticipated to develop
more in the future. The Civil Service Board has reviewed and recommended amending the
Position Classification Plan to include the two positions.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact; funded through 1998 salary savings due to departmental reorganization.
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council adopt the attached resolution amending the City's Position Classification Plan
to include the Police Corporal and Secretary to the Police Chief positions and setting salary and
benefits for same.
