AGENDA BILL Agenda Item No. 5(C) Date: June 16, 2015 To: El Cerrito City Council From: Karen Pinkos, Assistant City Manager Subject: Amendments to City Classification Plan ACTION REQUESTED Adopt resolutions amending the City’s Classification Plan to: 1. Establish classifications for positions within the Aquatics Division, re-title and revise the class specification of Environmental Services Manager to Operations and Environmental Services Manager; and ratify the reclassification of Administrative Analyst III to Assistant to the City Manager; and 2. Establish the salaries and benefits for Aquatics Division personnel, establishing salary ranges as recommended. BACKGROUND The City’s Strategic Plan identifies “Deliver Exemplary Government Services” as a primary goal. The strategies outlined for this goal include recruiting and retaining a talented workforce, and maintaining an emphasis on providing excellent customer service. In recent years, the City Manager has reorganized and restructured some Departments and Divisions within the City organization in order to improve service and provide emphasis on City Council goals and priorities. These changes and positions have been authorized through the budget process. With the vacancies that have occurred over the past few years, the Department Directors have been reviewing the staffing within their Departments to consider additional opportunities for reorganization and restructuring in order to sustain services, and continue our focus on City Council priorities. Human Resources has worked with Department and Division managers to review class specifications throughout the City to confirm that they are representative of organizational changes and duties performed that have evolved over time. Additionally, with the many recent changes to state and federal requirements regarding employee benefits, Human Resources has begun to focus on the City’s part-time staffing classifications and positions to ensure that they accurately reflect the services provided by the Departments and that they are in compliance with various regulations, the City’s Personnel Rules, and labor agreements. ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 5(C) Page 2 ANALYSIS Aquatics Division The Recreation Department provides within its Aquatics Division services and programs at the El Cerrito Swim Center for residents and neighboring communities year-round. Aquatics Division staff manages the operations of the Swim Center, provides instructional programs and classes, and ensures the safety of all patrons. Historically, the Swim Center operates with 2 full-time staff and a varying number of part-time and seasonal staff. These employees, with the exception of the Recreation Supervisor for the Aquatics Division, have historically been unrepresented by a formal labor group or bargaining unit. Salary and benefits for the Aquatics staff have mirrored the SEIU-1021 bargaining unit, and positions for the part-time and seasonal Aquatics staff have been included in the current part-time classifications that exist including Part-time Recreation Aide, Part-time Recreation Leader, Part-time Recreation Senior Program Leader, and Part-time Recreation Specialist. These part-time Recreation classifications also include other position titles that are represented by SEIU-1021. Over time, position titles for part-time Recreation staff throughout the Department have moved away from the class specifications, producing inconsistency in the duties of these classifications, as well as creating confusion as to which positions are represented. The current classifications also do not allow the Department to distinguish the Aquatics staff functions and requirements separately from other Recreation staff, which is a concern since these employees require certifications and training that are different from other part-time Recreation staff requirements. Human Resources is recommending that the Aquatics Division staff positions be moved into a new bargaining unit, and that new class specifications are created for the following positions: Aquatics Assistant I and II, Lifeguard & Senior Lifeguard, Swim Instructor I and II, and Aquatics Specialist I and II. These classifications will outline the experience, training, and certifications required for these positions, and will more accurately reflect the duties and functions to be performed by the employees. Additionally, creating these classifications will allow Human Resources to analyze salaries for these specific positions, ensuring that salaries are within the current labor market rates in order to better attract and retain these employees. Staff has conducted a salary survey of neighboring communities with Aquatics staff, and the current salary structure for these positions averages approximately 30% below the median benchmark. The recommended salary series reflects the current market rate. Operations and Environmental Services Manager In FY 2013-14, the Public Works Department created the Operations and Environmental Services Division (OESD), combining the former Maintenance Division with the recycling and waste management functions of the former Environmental Services Division. The position of Environmental Services Manager was moved to oversee this new Division. The Division has been successful in this organizational structure, and has created a variation on the functions and duties of the Manager from the previous class specification. ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. S(C) Based on the nature and scope of duties performed by the Manager, staff recommends that it is appropriate to re-title and revise the job description of Environmental Services Manager to Operations and Environmental Services Manager to better reflect the duties and reporting relationship with the OESD. Assistant to the City Manager Staff has conducted a review of the performance of the Administrative Analyst III in the City Manager's office. The incumbent has previously been tasked mainly with duties relating to community outreach, public information, and specializing in both internal and external communications for the City's various services and programs. Over time, this position has begun to perform duties at the functions and level of the classification of Assistant to the City Manager, with a broader scope of services being provided to the community including development and implementation of City policy and procedures, Citywide strategic planning, preparing and recommending legislation and City Council policy, and overseeing the Citywide EC STARS internship program. The functions cuiTently being performed by this position are better suited to reflect the more comprehensive, Citywide focus as indicated in the Assistant to the City Manager job description as opposed to the Administrative Analyst position that reflects a technical and specialized focus. Per the City's Personnel Rule 2.6, changes in classification must be approved by the City Manager and ratified by the City Council. Staff recommends that the City Council ratify this proposed reclassification, to be effective July 1, 2015. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The cost of the proposed changes for the part-time Aquatics staff will be absorbed within the FY 2015-16 Part-Time Salaries and Wages budget, as the number of the pati- time and seasonal staff varies according to demand and schedule. Staff will monitor these part-time costs and will propose any adjustments as necessary during the midyear budget report. There will be no additional costs for the proposed changes to the Operations and Environmental Services Manager or Assistant to the City Manager, as these costs are included within the proposed FY 2015-16 operating budget.
