Item #17 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 17,2002 TO: HON. MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL FROM: A] Holliman, Assistant City Manager Teresa S. Delgado, Human Resourceit SUBJECT: Approve and Adopt Proposed Resolution Amending Consolidated Resolution No.R-56-01 for the Mid -Manager Employees Unit and General Employees unit DATE: December 9. 2002 BACKGROUND: In upholding its agreement with employees in the General Unit and Mid -Manager Unit, the City authorized Dembrowsky and Associates to conduct a compensation study. On August 21, 2001, the City agreed to implement the results of the compensation study effective January 1, 2002. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Consultant Andrea Dembrowsky, with support from the Human Resources Division, developed data bases, assembled wage structures, organizational charts, existing City job descriptions, benefit program components and lists of potential survey participants. The study was divided into two sections: The first part encompassed the review and update of job descriptions covering 124 positions, for approximately 200 study incumbents. Five years had elapsed from the previous classification study and as a result there were a number of requests for position reclassifications. In addition there were three formal requests for reclassifications that joined this study. After analysis and evaluation of each request, the Consultant conferred with Assistant City Manager Holliman and the Human Resources Manager for direction. In each instance, the immediate supervisor and the appropriate department head provided input and authorized the reclassifications. The proposed reclassifications can be found in Exhibit "A" of the proposed Resolution. In certain areas, such as the Redevelopment Agency, it made sense to develop reclassification series, i. e., Redevelopment Project Manager 1/11, with a promotional step to Redevelopment Senior Program Manager. In the Finance Department, a reclassification was developed for the Buyer and Senior Buyer positions; however, in this series, the Senior Buyer's minimum qualifications were expanded to include the requirement for a Bachelor's degree. This was in keeping with the City Council's direction to maintain formal education standards for management and professional level positions.
