RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Position Adjustment Resolution No.22041 to add one (1) Environmental Analyst II (5RVA) (represented) position at salary plan and grade ZB5 1548 ($5,360-$6,515), and cancel one (1) Planner II (5AVA) (represented) vacant position No. 6697 at salary plan and grade ZA5 1547 ($5,355-$6,509) in the Public Works Department.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

In 2012, the Public Works Department formed the Environmental Services Division which took over all aspects of Environmental Policy planning from the Engineering Services Division. Prior to year 2012, one Planner II position performed environmental analyst duties. On October 1, 2016, the Planner II incumbent transferred into a vacant Environmental Analyst II position leaving vacant the Planner II position. The department determined that the work in the Environmental Services Division are duties appropriately categorized by the Environmental Analyst classification and not Planner II. Thus, in the effort to properly classify the vacant position in the division, Public Works Department request to cancel the Planner II position and add one Environmental Analyst II position so all positions in the Environmental Services Division are appropriately classified.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not carried out, any incumbent classified as a Planner II would not have the ability to promote in the flexibly staffed series of the Environmental Analyst job series.
