Transmittal Memo `
June 6, 2011
To: Charter Civil Service Commission
Debbie Korevaar, Civil Service Examiner
From: Rita DeBord, Finance and Technology Director
Wayne Wantland, Communications and Technology Manager
Subject: Proposed Information Systems Division Re- organization
At the March 7, 2011 meeting of the Commission, Rita DeBord and I presented a
complete package of the reorganization of the Information Systems Division
0 which included numerous position changes and additions. As you can imagine
that was a very complex and challenging package to put together and regrettably
through that process we made one error in calculating the pay rate for one of the
new positions.
The Operations Supervisor position was presented for your approval at pay code
974. When determining that level of pay using the internal comparables, both the
consultant and management did not realize that this would be an overtime
exempt position. It was an oversight that lead to setting the pay at a lower rate
than we would have in making it comparable to other exempt supervisory
positions in the Division.
We are requesting at this time to make an administrative adjustment to that
position's pay by increasing it to pay code 973. This level still leaves the position
in the mid -range between the Senior Supervising Analyst and the Network
Services Engineer that the consultant based his comparables on and is not
contrary to his recommendation.
We have neither recruited nor filled this position at this time so there is no direct
impact on any specific employee or the recruitment process.
We thank the Commission for your indulgence in assisting us with this complex
issue of the reorganization of the Information Systems Division and do intend to
0 avoid issues such as this in the future.

RE: New Classification of Operations Supervisor
Classification and Allocation Recommendation
Dear Commissioners:
This report summarizes my findings relating to the development of a new classification
recommended to be classified as Operations Supervisor. This project included on -site
discussions with Rita DeBord, Finance Director, Wayne Wantland, current Information
Systems Division Manager and Public Safety Communications Manager, Sheryl Smith,
Human Resources Manager, and Marlene Adams, Human Resources Specialist. Since this
is a new classification no discussions could be held with incumbent personnel. The project
also included development of the proposed Class Specification, accepted by all of the above
parties, wage and salary comparisons with classifications within the City of Yakima
workforce with similar levels of complexity and responsibility with consideration given to
compensation of similarly classified positions within other public entities in Washington
and Oregon. The salary recommendations are also supported by the above.
Based on the considerations herein, it is my recommendation that the new classification be
titled Operations Supervisor and be allocated to Pay Code 974 ($29.51hr, $5114.97hno -
$35.88/hr, $6219.08/mo).
Duties and responsibilities
This is a supervisory classification. It supervises the operations section to include:
evaluating information technology requests and workload; assigning tasks; following up to
ensure task completion and conducts subordinate evaluations. Supervises and participates
1
in the research and evaluation of new technological advances and assesses their benefit to
•
� and effect on the City's computer and technological systems. Participates in the
preparation of the annual budget and monitors expenditures for appropriateness and
budget compliance. Recommends internal control policies and implements procedures to
ensure and protect the integrity, confidentiality and access to data held in or processed
through city software and hardware - devices. - Work may be highly confidential and is
performed with considerable latitude for independent judgment and decision making. The
operations section includes Network Services, Client Services and the City help desk.
Discussion
The City's Information Systems Division is currently undergoing a period of reorganization.
Classifications are being consolidated, eliminated, and new ones are being created in order
to enable the Division to meet both the current and future needs of City departments,
divisions. In the summer of 2010 the City of Yakima engaged the consulting firm of TROI
IT Solutions to conduct an assessment of the Information Systems Division organization.
Part of the TROI Report's findings included greater and more coordinated efforts in the
support of internal systems and users.
It is significant that in 2010 the Information Systems Manager retired and that position
and the Communications Manager positions have been consolidated which doubles the
responsibility of the new Manager. That has created a significant need for new
classification of Operations Supervisor which will provide greater supervisory oversight in
the operations section.
Compensation Analysis
Factoring Analysis
A point factoring analysis was conducted which resulted in a raw score which equates to a
Range 23.5. The point factoring analysis system was initially used when the City's current
compensation system was developed in 1978 and is a systematic method of equating
drastically differing classifications through the analysis of twelve separate factors each .
containing between four and twelve degrees of complexity. Even so, it must be stressed
that the factoring analysis is subjective in nature and should only be used as a general
guide for range allocation. Several years ago, - this consultant conducted a number of
classification studies and made recommendations to this Commission. The classifications
in the Information Systems Division were memorably complex because while the point
factoring analysis suggested a particular range, the internal and external salary studies
conducted suggested allocations to higher ranges in order for the City to be able to attract
and retain well - qualified employees and not simply be a training ground for other public
and private employers West of the Cascades.
2
Internal Comparison
The City has a very limited number of classifications within Information Systems allocated
to Range 23.0 and higher. As indicated above, the point- factoring analysis suggested a
range of 23.5. _ Because information technology applicants are difficult to attract and retain
absent competitive levels of compensation, classifications within Information Systems must
receive primary consideration when making comparisons and allocating classifications
internally. Within the City's Information Systems Division, the following classifications are
found at or above Range 23.0:
• Database Administrator Range 23.0 (high hourly rate: $31.04)
• Lead Applications Systems Designer Range 24.0 (high hourly rate: $32.59)
• Network Services Engineer Range 25.0 (high hourly rate: $34.22)
• Senior Analyst (exempt) Pay Code 974 (high hourly rate: $35.88)
• Supervising Senior Analyst (exempt) Pay Code 972 (high hourly rate: $39.52)
The Supervising Senior Analyst positions are exempt classifications and supervise separate
operational sections within the Information Systems Division. One is responsible for GIS
functions, City website design . and administration, and the City print shop. The other is
responsible for systems design and database administration. The singular difference
between the Supervising Senor Analyst and the Operations Supervisor is that the
Supervising Senior Analyst requires a higher level of computer duties and responsibilities.
Similarly, the Senior Analyst does not have supervisory responsibilities. Those two aspects
alone suggest that the Operations Supervisor should be allocated below the Supervising
Senior Analyst. Additionally, one of the Supervising Senior Analysts supervises the work of
the Network Services Engineer which is highly complex and specialized in its assigned area
of technology. It does not, however, carry the additional responsibilities of supervision and
other administrative tasks required of supervisory personnel. The Network Services
Engineer is currently allocated to Pay Range 25.0. The Operations Supervisor would
appear to best be aligned internally between the Network Services Engineer and the
Operations Supervisor.
External Comparison
The Human Resources staff was unable to find similar classifications held by pubic
employers in Oregon and Washington and accordingly no external comparisons are
considered herein.
Recommendation
As indicated above, the factoring- analysis is subjective and can only be used as a general
guide for classification allocation to the compensation plan. It is of paramount importance
that classifications be aligned internally, again, to help enable the City to attract and retain
3
(• highly skilled employees. Based on the foregoing, and with primary consideration for the
internal allocations of classifications in the compensation plan, it is recommended that the
Operations Supervisor classification be allocated to Pay Code 974 ($29.51hr, $5114.97/mo -
$35.88/hr, $6219.08/mo). In addition to duties and compensation issues, placement of the
Operations Supervisor at Pay Code 974 will create an upward mobility opportunity for
employees that doesn't currently exist which will in itself help retain current employees.
