DISCUSSION
Background
Alternate Staffing is the process by which a qualifying employee is promoted to a higher level upon attainment of the required level of knowledge, skills, and abilities or the attainment of specified licenses or certificates; or is hired at any level of a class series based upon the needs of the hiring department. Alternate staffing patterns exist when a class series has two or more levels where an employee may be initially appointed to any level in the series and can be promoted from the lower level to the higher level without further testing. There are four categories in alternate staffing: Automatic, Discretionary, Deep class, and Apprentice Programs (CSR Miscellaneous Employees, Section 1, Rule 1).
Present Situation
The classification specification for Graffiti Abatement Technician was recently amended to add a Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician level. The Police Department has requested to include the Graffiti Abatement Technician/Senior Graffiti Abatement Technician classification to the approved list of classifications for alternate staffing and place it in the Deep Class category (Attachment A and B).
AUTHORITY
The Civil Service Commission is empowered to establish and amend the list of classifications included under the alternate staffing policy of the City of Stockton. Promotions within these classifications may be made after completion of the requirements and in the manner set forth in the policy. (CSR Miscellaneous Employees, Rule VII, Section 6).
