AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. /5
For Meeting of July 20. 1999
ITEM TITLE: Legislation Amending the Classification and Compensation Plan for Waterworks
Drafting /Service Representative
SUBMITTED BY: Charter Civil Service Commission
CONTACT PERSON /TELEPHONE: Carol Bates, x6090
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The attached ordinance creates a new classification and recommended allocation for the position of
Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative. The classification was approved by the Charter Civil
_ Service Commission at their July 12, 1999 meeting.
A recent retirement created a vacancy and upon reviewing the duties being performed under the
current classification of Waterworks Specialist I, Pay Range 13.5. ($2,412.75 - $2,892.88), the
classification was found to no longer accurately reflect the duties for this particular position. The
attached report summarizes the findings of the classification study for the new position of Waterworks
Drafting /Service Representative in the Water Division. The creation of this new position is
necessitated to more accurately reflect the job duties, tasks, and responsibilities.
The new classification of Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative more accurately describes the
technical changes and the increased scope and level of responsibility required for this nightman
position: The new classification of Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative is recommended to
be established and allocated to the City's Master Ordinance for Classification at Pay Range 16
($2,700.48 - $3,232.60).

TO: The Charter Civil Service Commission
FROM: Carol Bates, Chief Examiner
Dueane Calvin, Water /Irrigation Manager
SUBJECT: Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative
Classification and Allocation Recommendation
The following report summarizes the findings of the classification study for the
• new position of Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative. The creation of
this new position is necessitated to more accurately reflect the job duties, tasks,
and responsibilities. A recent retirement has created the current vacancy and
upon reviewing the duties being performed the current classification was found
to be inappropriate. The new class specification will also increase the minimum
qualifications. This study has included interviews with Dueane Calvin,
Water /Irrigation Manager; Dave Brown, Water and Irrigation Engineer; and Alvie
Maxey, Water Distribution Supervisor comparison to positions within the City of
Yakima's classification structure; a factoring analysis; and a compensation
survey of local and regional public jurisdictions.
This new classification request is based upon technical changes and the
complexity of new mandates which has increased the scope and level of
responsibility for the position which is currently classified as a Water Works
Specialist I. The position presently operates as a "nightman" and is on -call to
respond to emergency water line problems. As will be demonstrated later,
several factors have substantially increased the complexity and technical nature
of the activities associated with the operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of
the distribution system. The complexity of the water distribution system and
workload demands due to increases in the physical system are such that it has
been incumbent on this position to become more knowledgeable in alternative
materials, equipment and computerized drafting.
Based upon data discussed in this report, we recommend that the class of
Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative be established and allocated to the
City's Master Ordinance for classification at Pay Range 16 ($2,700.48 -
$3,232.60).
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Municipal Code, Section 2.20.030, and the Civil Service Rules both require
certain actions to be taken when allocating a position to a certain pay range.
Included in those actions are the consideration of pay rates of other similar or
related classes; the availability of personnel, to do the job; prevailing wage rates,
both locally and in similar jurisdictions; and City financial policy and economic
conditions. The recommendation for allocation of Waterworks Drafting /Service
Representative to pay range 16 is based upon these requirements and
discussed henceforth.
DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The current duties and responsibilities are outlined on the attached proposed
class specification and detailed below.
SUMMARY

EXPOSURE TO HAZARDS

CHANGES IN POSITION
The Waterworks Specialist I, "Nightman ", has traditionally been used to respond
to emergency water line problems. The position has become much more
- technical and skilled, as responsibilities have increased with the growth and
complexity of the water distribution system. In the past ten years, over thirty
miles of transmission and distribution mains, 2,000 new services, as well as
appurtenant fittings, valves and structures have been added to the water system.
Primary changes to the position of Waterworks Specialist I, "Nightman ", include:
• Larger and more technical equipment, such as front - loaders, backhoes,
asphalt grinder and gas- detectors, all requiring broader knowledge of
appropriate operating and safety procedures.
• Reading and interpreting blueprints and maps.
• Use of computers in the maintenance of records.
• Required to interface with customers, contractors and consultants on all
aspects of the distribution system.
• Training in the proper care, handling and use of protective clothing for the
safety of crews and public during the repair.
• Maintenance and disposal of asbestos pipes.
• Added preventative maintenance /repair techniques and procedures.
• The requirement to digitize distribution system components relating to
service meter locations.
FACTORING ANALYSIS
The standard factoring system developed by the U.S. Civil Service Commission,
using twelve categories of criteria for measuring internal allocation, was applied
to this position. Pay Range 16 is indicated for the position.
SIMILAR CITY CLASSIFICATIONS
The class of Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative is unique in the City of
Yakima. The position with the most directly similar duties is Waterworks
Specialist II at pay range 15 ($2,582.62 to $3,092.21), however, the Waterworks
Drafting /Service Representative is required to draft meter locations using
computerized drafting tools and is not required to operate heavy construction
equipment sets it apart even from this class. This position is somewhat similar to
the Engineering Technician II at pay range 16.5 ($2,764.61 to $3,315.80) for the
drafting aspect of the duties but does not include the survey or inspection duties,
and the Engineering Technician II does not include any of the waterworks duties.
AVAILABILITY
The availability of skilled individuals to fill this position is somewhat limited due
to the requirement that the individual be experienced in waterworks as well as
the ability to use computerized drafting tools. The applicant pool for the
Waterworks Drafting /Service Representative may come as a promotional
opportunity within the City, or from other cities throughout the region.
PREVAILING RATES
A compensation survey for these positions was sent to relevant local and
regional employers, both public and private. Employers who provided matches
for this position are listed in the left -hand column of the survey summary page.
Participants matched jobs in the survey to summary descriptions of Yakima's
position. Matches were determined based on duties, not title only. A summary
page of data for the Drafting /Service Representative position is attached.
This position has 8 fair matches with 18 survey participants, all from the public
sector. The average (mean) range for jobs that are a fair match is $2,766.34 -
$3,456.20.
According to the 'City Charter, 2.20.030, prevailing wage rates in the Yakima
area and rates of pay in other jurisdictions are not the sole considerations for
linking salary ranges to the classification plan. Because of the strong need for
internal parity within the City and the division, Pay Range 16 at $2,700.48 to
$3,232.60 is the closest supportable range to the survey data for this position.
FINANCIAL POLICY AND ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS
The Water /Irrigation Division attests that the funds necessary to accommodate
the implementation of this reclassification are available with budgeted funds.
