• • • AGENDA ITEM 1B STAFF ORIGINATOR: Linda Waite Smith, City Administrator MEETING DATE: October 22, 2001 TOPIC: Consider Reclassification of Record Clerk Position VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 BACKGROUND: On October 8, the City Council approved changes job descriptions, titles and pay rates for several clerical positions so that comparable duties are compensated at the same rate. The position of Police Records Clerk was not included in the original analysis of other clerical positions. That position, which has two incumbents, has now been analyzed and found to have essentially the same duties as the positions which are now all classified as secretary. We are recommending that the City Council approve reclassifying these positions, making them equivalent to the position of Secretary and at the same salary level. The city has a precedent for consolidating job titles and pay ranges. Maintenance Workers are paid at the same level whether they work for the Parks, Streets or Utilities divisions of Public Services. For 2001, the difference in the top step of the Secretary pay range is $440 higher than the top step for Police Records Clerk. The changes would become effective upon City Council approval. OPTIONS: 1. Approve recommendations to reclassify Police Records Clerk position, establish salary level and change title. 2. Decline to approve recommendations. 3. Return to staff for further review and /or action. RECOMMENDATION: Approve recommendations to reclassify Police Records Clerk position, establish salary level and change title.
