RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No. 22119 to add one (1) Personnel Services Assistant III (ARTA) (unrepresented) position at salary plan and grade B85 1631 ($5,997 - $7289) and cancel one (1) Associate Civil Engineer (NKVC) (represented) position #10733 at salary plan and grade ZA2 1770 ($7,087 - $9,531) in the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This action will result in an estimated annual cost savings of $45,111.

BACKGROUND:

The duties and responsibilities of the Public Works Personnel Division have grown significantly over the past four years. While the need for personnel services has grown, there has been no increase in staffing for the division. As a result, existing staff have taken on additional duties and responsibilities, and the Department's Administrative Services Officer (ASO) is performing many personnel analyst duties. In order to balance the workload of the current analysts, the Public Works Department requests to add one Personnel Services Assistant III (PSA III) position for the Personnel Division. The PSA III will assist with employee performance management, injury and illness prevention, leave management, employee/labor relations, and various other personnel duties. They will also assist with coordinating, organizing, conducting, delivering and evaluating training programs for Public Works Department employees, to include new employee orientation, mandatory compliance (Sexual Harassment Prevention, Diversity Awareness, Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO), Ethics, and Safety), and career development training.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, the Personnel Division will be unable to support the needs and requests of internal and external customers.
