Wendell Adams, City Engineer CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Carol Bates, x6090 SUMMARY EXPLANATION: In the Community and Economic Development Department, two Div requested to make some reorganization modifications to titles and positions to help define and clarify the staffing positions present in each division. The Charter Civil Service Commission at their meeting of June 5, 2000 passed a title restructuring in the Code Administration Division. The title restructuring is based upon the Division's need to ensure lik istomer service without major mistakes and delays. The changes approved for the Code dministration Division were: a. Change the title of the current Code's Department Assistant III to Permit Technician with minor changes to the classification and maintain the current salary range of 8.5 ($1,982.90 - $2,378.09) b. Create a new title and classification for the current Permit Technician to Plans Examiner I (Residential) at pay range 12.0 ($2,312.22 - $2,771.55) to be consistent with the current pay presently received. Place the Plans Examiner I (Residential) classification in the newly created Plans Examiner Series c. Create a new title and classification for the In -House Code Inspector only to Plans Examiner II (Commercial) at pay range 17.0 ($2,894.61 - $3,475.27) to be consistent with the current pay scale presently received. Place the Plans Examiner II (Commercial) in the newly created Plans Examiner Series. d. Place the current incumbents in the new classifications and change their titles accordingly There is no budgetary impact to the above recommended changes. The Engineering Division is proposing a minor change to the Construction Engineer position, which has been vacant since the fall of 1999. After reviewing the class specification and evaluating the 0 d e eds of the Division, a new title is proposed with minor revisions to the current classification. The commended title changes the Construction Engineer to Construction Supervisor to more equately reflect what is expected from the position. Also proposed and accepted by the Civil Service Commission was to reduce the pay range to more accurately represent the required levels of responsibility and education from 972 ($4,312.45 - $5,241.50) to pay code 973 ($4,104.45 - $4,991.90) • The Charter Civil Service provides the employees under its jurisdiction the prerogative Ito request a review and analysis of their jobs when sufficient evidence supports a preliminary conclusion. The job must have significantly changed in response to service needs and technical requirements. T reclassifications were postponed for presentation from earlier this year as the new Fleet Manage just been hired and requested additional time to review the reclassifications in his division. On of e postponed reclassifications, the Fleet Maintenance Attendant, has been approved by the Charter Civil Service Commission. This classification was approved by the Chief Examiner and forwarded to Prism Works, LLC for a detailed review. The following report /classification summary involves one employee and was formally approved by the Charter Civil Service at their June 5, 2000 meeting. The Commission approved the proposed changes to the classification and title and also approved the proposed reallocation of the Fleet Maintenance Attendant. The estimated cost is $457.60 for the remainder of 2000. While unbudgeted, this sum can be accommodated through other budget savings. The attached ordinance amends the Classification and Compensation Plan to reflect the actions of the Charter Civil Service Commission at its June 5, 2000 meeting. • Change the title of the Code Administration Division's Department Assistant III to the new classification of Permit Technician and maintain the current allocation of pay range 8.5 ($1,982.90 - $2,378.09) • Create a new Plans Examiner Series • Create a new classification of Plans Examiner I (Residential) for the current Permit Technician and maintain the current allocation of pay range 12.0 ($2,312.22 - $2,771.55) • Create a new classification for the In -House Code Inspector title to Plans Examinf (Commercial) and maintain the current allocation of pay range 17.0 ($2,894.61 - $3,47 . , to be consistent with the Code Inspector in the Code Administration Division • Change the title of Construction Engineer to Construction Supervisor and reallocate the vacant, position down to pay range 973 ($4,014.45 - $4,991.90) • Change title and salary of Fleet Maintenance Attendant, pay range 10.5 ($2,166.63 = $2,591.28 to Fleet Maintenance Technician, pay range 14.5 ($2,591.28 - $3,009.14) Resolution Ordinance X Contract Other (Specify) Reports.

The title restructuring has included an on -site audit with the incumbents, with input from their supervisor, Carolyn Belles and Doug Maples, Code Administration Manager. An internal analysis comparing this position to others within the City of Yakima's classification structure; and an external analysis comparing title with responsibilities of employees who perform similar types of jobs at other local and regional jurisdictions. This title - restructuring request is based upon the Division need to ensure customer service without major mistakes and delays. The current Department Assistant III title was established in 1978 during the city -wide classification study and was intended to serve primarily as a "receptionist/typist” with minor responsibilities including filing, answering the telephone and cashiering the permit fees. The automation of the building permit system, along with an increase in the number of building permits, has impacted the nature of the duties now performed by the present Department Assistant III. Additionally, this position has taken on duties over the years, which have been performed by other departments. The present Department Assistant III position performs at a higher technical level skill than previously intended for the Department Assistant III position. The Code Administration Division currently has a Permit Technician classification, however the person is performing residential plan review. Our proposal is to use the title of Permit Technician, but change the duties to reflect the Code Administration Division's Department Assistant III responsibilities and re -title the current Code Administration ® Division's Department Assistant III to a Permit Technician. This would move the Code Administration Division's three positions from the .Clerical Series into the Code Yakima �n..eun ''lli! 1994 Inspection Series and necessitate making minor changes to the present job descriptions. In research with other building departments, the duties being performed by the Code Administration Division's Department Assistant III are more commonly called a Permit Technician. Recommendations Based on the results of the title restructuring study and the data presented in this report, we recommend the following: • Modify the Code Administration Division Department Assistant III title to Permit Technician. • Reallocate the Permit Technician classification to R 8.5 with a pay range of $1982.90 - $2378.09 to be consistent with the current pay scale presently received in the Code Administration Division DA III position. • Place the affected employee in the new classification of Permit Technician and change their titles accordingly. Supporting Documentation • Section 1 — Internal Analysis and Comparison The Code Administration Division Department Assistant III most closely compares to the new Customer Service Utility Service Representative position, due to the technical knowledge and skill required for this position. Upon researching other comparable cities, the title of Permit Technician is a more appropriate title to reflect this positions responsibilities with the Code Administration Division. Section 2 — External Analysis and Comparison The evolution of building departments to provide service to their customers has changed over the last several years and most building department's senior staff has empowered - their staff to do more duties along with increasing technology. The construction industry has advanced as fast as the computer industry. This means the skill level of all building department's staff must be increasing to stay ahead of this advancement. The point person in any building department is the counter staff "Permit Technician", which greets the customer at the onset. r 2 • Organization Title City of Olympia.

The title restructuring has included an on -site audit with the incumbents, with input from their supervisor, Jack Lovell, Code Inspector Supervisor and Doug Maples, Code Administration Manager; an internal analysis comparing these positions to others within the City of Yakima's classification structure; and an external analysis comparing title with responsibilities of employees who perform similar types of jobs at other local and regional jurisdictions. This title - restructuring request is based upon the Division's need to ensure customer service without major mistakes and delays as well as to reflect the true duties of these positions. The current Permit Technician and Code Inspector titles were established since the conception of each position. The Permit Technician was originally intended to serve primarily as a "counter support” with responsibilities including minor plan review, answering the telephone and helping the customers with their plan submittal. The in- house Code Inspector position was created to serve as the plans examiner for the department along with a code reference resource and helping the customer with questions that are more technical in nature. The automation of the building permit system along with an increase in the number of building permits has impacted the nature of the duties now performed by the present Permit Technician and in -house Code Inspector. These positions have taken on additional duties over the years, which have been performed by other departments. The present Permit Technician and in -house Code Inspector positions perform high -level technical tasks, which are very different than would be expected to be performed by someone in the classification of Permit Technician and/or Code Inspector. 41/ The Code Administration Division currently does not have a Plans Examiner Yakima am.eaa II 1994 ® classification series, but staff does perform plan review. The Code Administration Division proposal is to create a 4300 Plans Examiner Classification Series moving the present Permit Technician from the Code Inspection Series into the Plans Examiner Series of 4310 Plans )Examiner I (Residential). This would necessitate making minor changes to the current Permit Technician classification. The in -house Code Inspector would move to the new classification 4315 Plans Examiner II (Commercial). In research with other building departments, the duties of the Plans Examiner have been titled as a Plans Examiner. Recommendations Based on the results of the title restructuring study and the data presented in this report, we recommend the following: • Modify the Code Administration Division Permit Technician title to Plans Examiner I (Residential). • Modify the Code Administration Division in -house Code Inspector title to Plans Examiner II (Commercial). • Move the modified Plans Examiner I (Residential), previously known as Permit Technician from Code Inspection Series 4441 to a Plans Examiner Series 4300. • Move the modified Plans Examiner II (Commercial), previously known as in- house Code Inspector from Code Inspection Series 4421 to a new Plans Examiner S Series4300. • Reallocate the Plans Examiner I (Residential) in grade R 12.0 with a pay range of $2312.22 - $2771.55 to be consistent with the current pay scale presently received in the Code Administration Permit Technician position. • Reallocate the Plans Examiner II (Commercial) in grade R 17.0 with a pay range of $2894.61 - $3475.27 to be consistent with the current pay scale presently received in the Code Administration Code Inspector position. • Place the current incumbents in the new classification and change their titles accordingly. Supporting Documentation Section 1— Internal Analysis and Comparison The Code Administration Division Plans Examiner I and Plans Examiner II do not compare to any other Permit Technician or Code Inspector position within the city, due to the technical knowledge and skill required for this position. • 2 Section 2 — External Analysis and Comparison The evolution of the building departments to provide service to their customers has changed over the last several years and most building department senior staff has empowered staff to do more duties and learn increasing technology. The construction industry has advanced as fast as the computer industry. This means the skill level of all building department staff must increase to stay ahead of this advancement.

Wendell Adams, City Engineer and Carol Bates, Chief Examiner • Date: 05/26/00 Re: Proposed changes to the Engineering Associate and Construction Engineer Class Specifications The Engineering Divisions' new City Engineer, K. Wendell Adams, has been reviewing all the divisions' class specifications to ensure the needs of the City are able to be met, as well as reviewing the training and experience of the present staff as they are allocated into their current positions. It is recommended to propose a restructuring of the Engineering Division in phases using current employees who have received the necessary training and education to qualify for the modified positions. Other positions, which are not currently filled, will be recommended to be modified to reflect the actual requirements of the positions. The Engineering Division is responsible for designing and inspecting both private developments and city Public Works projects. The work is of a professional nature and the current job positions and classifications are not sufficient 'to meet the requirements of the City. While construction inspection tasks are being met, the design and project management tasks are not. This is due to the lack of project management staff who has the appropriate job descriptions and responsibilities. Several current employees are being paid "out of class" for work that is required to complete the scheduled projects. Present staffing levels have been cut due to budgetary reasons over the past couple of years. In order to accomplish more work - with fewer employees the restructuring is needed. With the recent progress in technology, there is an opportunity to change the job descriptions and responsibilities of several positions. Two of the positions that are being proposed are Engineering Associate and Construction Supervisor (previously Construction Engineer). - _.__: ..- n_._.,..: ._ -: i_..L...._.n.,- r_<r,": .._ i•: - _ - m �a m i _ ' -- - ice -_ .. - '4in- 't- ' "r' -:• -, "" '� ..

This position is currently vacant. No salary adjustment is recommended at this time. The Construction Engineer position has been vacant since the Fall of 1999. After reviewing the class specification and evaluating the needs of the division, minor revisions are recommended. A new title is also proposed changing the class specification from . Construction Engineer to Construction Supervisor to more adequately reflect what is expected from the position. Currently the salary for the Construction Engineer position is based at the pay code level of 972. This pay code level is the same level as the Senior Engineer position, which has a higher level of responsibility and requires significantly more education and experience. The two positions while equal in pay, do not have equal requirements. For this reason, it is • proposed to adjust the pay code for the Construction Supervisor to more accurately represent the required levels of responsibility and education. The Engineering Division Manager recommends the Construction Supervisor position be set at pay code 973, which should more accurately reflect the requirements and duties of this position. This restructuring will enable the Division to more efficiently accomplish tasks and to have the flexibility to complete our projects in a timely manner. This will also eliminate the need to pay current employees "out of class" wages. • 2 • CITY OF YAKIMA • CLASS SPECIFICATION Proposed CODE: 11101 TITLE: Construction Supervisor Engineer Rev. 6/001 DEFINITION: Under general direction of the City Engineer, supervises assigns and coordinates the inspection of contracted Public Works construction work projects for compliance to plans, specifications and applicable law; arid performs related work as required.

The study has included an on -site audit with the incumbent, with input from supervisors /managers Marvin Horn, Don Toney (former Fleet Manager) and Chris Waarvick; an internal analysis comparing this position to others within the City of Yakima's classification structure; and an external analysis comparing salary levels of employees who perform similar type jobs at other local and regional jurisdictions or in the private sector. • This classification request is based upon a change in the incumbent's duties over the past fifteen years. The Fleet Maintenance Attendant originally performed the duties typical of a gas station attendant — fueling, checking oil and cleaning windows. Fueling used to take up 60% of the position's time. Today, equipment operators fuel and check oil on their own equipment and the Fleet Maintenance Attendant now performs the duties of an entry -level mechanic. Recommendations Based upon the results of the classification study and the data presented in this report, we recommend the following: • Reclassify the Fleet Maintenance Attendant to a grade 14.5 with a pay range of $2,591.28 - $3,099.14. • Change the title to Fleet Maintenance Mechanic to more accurately reflect the duties performed by the position. Make suggested changes to the classification description. • Place the current incumbent into the revised classification and change his title and salary • accordingly. Supporting Documentation Section 1— Summary of Changes New tasks performed by this position: - The position is now required to assist the mechanics with light mechanical repair. - The position now makes road calls and performs safety inspections when needed. 6 • Previous tasks performed. but a significant change has occurred: - The position used to spend 70-80% of their time fueling equipment, checking oil, and repairing tires. Today these duties take approximately 10% of their time. This is due in part to a self - service fuel station that is now in place. - The task of ordering and maintaining inventory has become more complex as the City's fleet of equipment has grown and become more complicated and diverse. In addition, it is now required that the position track all this data on a computer, rather than by hand. . Knowledge, skills and abilities now required to perform the job effectively: - The duties of the position today now require that the incumbent be familiar with a wider variety of equipment, and be able to service that equipment safely and efficiently. - Ability to operate a computer terminal and utilize database software program. . Section 2 — Internal Analysis and Comparison There are no clear internal comparisons for this position. There are two positions with somewhat similar duties, but one has less technical responsibilities and the other has far greater technical responsibilities.

As data for the Mechanics was more consistent, it was utilized for ttie analysis and adjusted by 15% to - accommodate for differences in duties or level of responsibility between the City of Yakima's position and a mechanic at another organization. If a position did not match by a factor of at least 80% in its duties and responsibilities it was not considered in this analysis. Prevailing rates among other organizations compare most closely to the City of Yakima's classification grade 14.5 with a pay range of $2;591.28 - $3,099.14.
