body
Summary
This report is to inform the Civil Service Commission of action taken by the Director of Human Resources amending the classification specification for Public Works Supervisor. Per Rule IV, section 5(b) of the Civil Service Rules and Regulations for Miscellaneous Employees, the Director of Human Resources shall approve all new or amended class specifications and file with the Secretary of the Commission.
DISCUSSION
Background
These changes result from changes in operational needs of the Public Works Department in 2013. During this time, employees that were classified in the Tree Maintenance Supervisor and Facilities Maintenance Supervisor positions were reclassified into the Public Works Supervisor classification. During this transition, the Public Works Supervisor specification was not amended to include the facilities and tree responsibilities. The Tree Maintenance Supervisor and Facilities Maintenance Supervisor classifications still exist, but have not been used since the reclassification of those employees.
Present Situation
The class specification for the Public Works Supervisor is being amended to update the definition, class characteristics, duties, minimum qualifications, knowledge, skills, and to include a physical/mental abilities section. The last time this class specification was updated was in 2004.
The Mid-Management/Supervisory Level Bargaining Unit has reviewed and concurred with the proposed changes.
AUTHORITY
Per Rule IV, section 5(b) of the Civil Service Rules and Regulations for Miscellaneous Employees, the Director of Human Resources shall approve all new or amended class specifications and file with the Secretary of the Commission.
