The specifications are intended to be descriptive and explan- atory by defining classes rather than prescribing restrictions. They should be interpreted in their entirety and in relation to one another; particular phrases or examples should not be isolated and treated as the full definition of the class. The specifications are especially designed to describe the nature and diversity of work performed by employees of the City of Carlsbad and, therefore, may or may not relate directly to the work performed by employees of other agencies. Each class description includes a definition of the general nature of work; a list of examples representative of the work; a list of qualifications including knowledges, abilities, experience and training. The latter section refers to qualifications at the time of appointment and does not necessarily reflect those of incumbent employees. They are not intended to be used as controls in establishing qualification standards. CLASS TITLES The class title is a brief and descriptive designation of the type of work per- formed. The class title on payrolls, budget estimates, personnel reports and other official forms and reports dealing with positions or personnel, will pro- vide a common understanding of the positions. It should be understood that the class title is selected to serve this purpose. 1 DEFINITION This section is a general description of the work. Included are such factors as supervision exercised and received, responsibility and difficulty, and the like. DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS This section, when used, describes the level of work in relation to higher or lower classes in the same series. EXAMPLES OF'DUTIES W f_4 This section provides a more complete concept of the actual work performed in 4 positions allocated to the class. Typical tasks are listed which are common to positions of the class, and which show the range of duties performed by employees 1 in the class. The list of tasks is descriptive only and is not intended to des- cribe all the work performed in all positions in the class. Also, the examples of work tasks will not apply to all positions allocated to the class. This �* section merely serves to illustrate the more typical portions of the work. QUALIFICATIONS This section lists those knowledges and abilities which are desired to be pos- sessed by applicants for a position to be allocated to the class. Also included is the desirable level of experience and training when appropriate. It should be stressed that this section does not in any way have reference to the qualif- ications of present employees. 2 -, NECESSARY AR DESIRABLE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS In certain classifications, legal or special provisions require possession of a specific license or certification issued by a board of licensure as a condition of employment. In other classes such licenses or certifications may be desir- able condition of employment. These requirements appear on the class specifi- cation under the section entitled Necessary Special Requirement or Desirable ,. Special Requirement. MAINTENANCE OF THE CLASS SPECIFICATIONS These specifications describe the work currently performed by employees of the City of Carlsbad. It will be necessary to continually monitor and update the specifications as the nature of job responsibilities change due to changing service level and job requirements. Such continual monitoring will help to assure that employees are assigned to the most appropriate class based upon the work performed. Toward this end an outline of procedures and recommenda- tions for the annual maintenance of the classification plan is submitted under separate cover.

CAREER LADDER ILLUSTRA M_ 1.0 -- Chapter I INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT OVERVIEW This report represents the final step in the classification study for the City of Carlsbad covering approximately 250 full-time positions. The report con- sists of the following components and is supplemented by a Position Classifi- cation Manual submitted under separate cover: 3 . Chapter I is a project overview, including a statement of project goals and a summary of study results. . Chapter II is a detailed discussion of the Position Classi- fication Plan and the resulting analysis and recommenda- tions including: - Review of the work program - Summary of classification changes - Description of new career ladders - Recommended internal salary relationships for new and existing classifications . Chapter III includes suggested approaches to maintenance of the classification plan. Project Goals Include A Complete Classification Study The goals of the project were to undertake a classification study covering all full-time positions. These goals were based on the correspondence and conver- sations with the City staff, and a detailed review of the work program with City staff and study participants. 1 The Study Provides The City With Opportunities For Management Improvements The classification study provides the City with an opportunity to achieve a number of management improvements: . Position Classification Plan Broadly, the position classification plan should improve the ability of the City to manage its service programs f efficiently and effectively. Specifically, the position classification plan: - Includes career ladder work classifica- tions that permit the City to hire employees at the entry level and pro- mote as deemed appropri ate to more responsible positions. This is parti- cularly important in the clerical, fiscal, and maintenance series. For yy example, the plan provides for the ability to hire maintenance employees at the Maintenance Worker I level and clearly identifies the journey level, specialist, supervisory and management classes to which employees may subse- quently be promoted. The various career ladders for each career series are graphically illustrated in an appendix to this report. ""' 2 Provides a written Classification Martua l which includes job duty specifi- cations that describe the nature and level of work within the City service and allocates current positions to k appropriate work classifications. i - Eliminates, to the maximum extent possible, any sex bias in the class i specifications. { - Provides the City with minimum qualifi- cations that are job -related. In this regard, emphasis has been placed on k identifying the knowledges, skills, abilities, and personal characteristics required to do the work. I Provides an improved basis for the - development of job -related performance -' evaluation system and training programs. . Basis For Improvements In addition to the more specific improvements indicated above, the study has also provided a basis for making improvements in both organizational efficiency and effec- tiveness. Although a position classification study is separate and distinct from a more detailed organization review, the improved description and ordering of classifi- cations provides a basis for further studies aimed at ' increasing the economy and efficiency of the overall organization. '� 3 �. Chapter II POSITION CLASSIFICATION PLAN: ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS I-, The Position Classification Plan Meets A Variety Of Organizational Requirements w on A position classification plan is designed to provide the City with a defen- sible and understandable rationale for assigning individuals to positions and compensating them fairly for the responsibilities they respectively assume. A position classification plan results in (1) a current and accurate listing of the nature of the various jobs that are performed, (2) a basis for establish- ing a compensation program that is related -o the nature of work performed and, importantly, (3) a means for the ordering of classifications to assure internal salary equity among the overall City work force. Not only will the comprehensive position classification plan be important in assuring equity am•mg employees, but it will also be important to the City from a cost stand- point by relating compensation to work actually performed. Further, the posi- tion classification plan will be helpful by: . Providing an improved basis for recruiting, testing, and selecting City employees. . Establishing a framework for evaluating employee perform- ance during probationary and continuing periods of employ- ment. Providing career classification ladders for employee growth which recognize employee performance as well as assigned duties and responsibilities. 4 . Identifying areas that are basic to employee training programs, . Providing a foundation for the development of an acceptable fair employment practices program. Of Teted To Insure A Comprehensive, Underst Realistic Position Classification Plan To insure that the position classification plan is useful and practical in terms of the objectives identified above, all positions must be grouped into common classes, written specifications must be prepared for each class of employment, and each employee within the City must be allocated to an appro- priate classification. Also, to insure that these broad objectives are met, the study was conducted in a manner that maximized employee understanding and participation. With this thought in mind, the following tasks were completed to assure the development of a comprehensive, understandable, and realistic Position classificatic,, plan: Task 1 - The Work Program Was Reviewed And Finalized With City Staff The project consultant met with the City staff to finalize the work program. Among other things, this task permitted an overall review of study procedures, timing, and related considerations. Task 2 - The Project Consultant Met With Cit g, to ees In order to clarify project goals and objectives, �+ and to maximize employee participation and understanding, the 5 ,� i■ ■ WAI project consultant met with all available employees to out- - ' line pro-Ject activities and -Answer ^yuestlons. i• Task 3 - Each Employee Completed A Position Description PX Questionnaire At the conclusion of the meetings referenced above, + a position description questionnaire was distributed to all employees. Among other things, the questionnaire provided employees with an opportunity to describe the duties and responsibilities of their positions. When completed, the questionnaires were reviewed by employee supervisors and z department heads, and space was also provided for their respective comments. After all employees had completed the position description questionnaires and they had been reviewed by employee supervisors and department heads, they were forwarded to the project consultant for detailed F -- analysis. : Task 4 - The Project Consultant Reviewed And Analyzed The Position Description Questionnaires The position description questionnaires provided an initial basis for grouping positions into common classes. Each questionnaire was analyzed in detail, and similarities and differences as compared to other positions were carefully notes!. Other related materials were also reviewed at this time, such as organization charts, budgets, and class speci- fications. importantly, this overall review also identified areas that needed to be further clarified before a revised position classification plan could be drafted. 6 Task 5 - All Available Employees Were Interviewed_ Once the questionnaires had been analyzed, the t project consultant interviewed all available department heads, supervisors, and employees t„ obtain further insight into the duties and responsibilities of the various posi- tions. The interview process provided a helpful supplement {` to the basic questionnaire data and, importantly, it also P provided an additional opportunity for employee participation. Task 6 - A Draft Position Classification Plan Was Prepared i� For Review By The City Utilizing the data obtained from the questionnaires } and interviews, the project consultant drafted tentative i class specifications and allocated each position to the appropriate classification. When that was completed, a draft of the overall position classification plan was prepared to review by the City's management staff and each employee l received an individual copy of his or her class specification along with a Position Allocation Notice and Employee Review Form. This gave all employees an opportunity to review and comment on their proposed classification and allocation. These comments were then reviewed by the project consultant. Task 7 - Follow -Up Interviews And Meetings Were Conducted After the project consultant had reviewed all employee and employee representative comments regarding the proposed class specifications and allocations, follow-up �'• 7 interviews and meetings were conducted at the request of employees and as otherwise appropriate. This process further clarified and refined problem areas and provided an addi- tional opportunity for employee participation. Task 8 - Internal Salary Relationships Were Reviewed After the class specifications were finalized and prior to preparation of a draft final report, the project consultant conducted a review of existing internal salary relationships. The purpose of this review was to: . Assure that salary differentials between various classes in a career series were adequate in terms of the varying levels of responsibility assigned. . Provide a basis for recommending salary range assignments for the new classes. Task 9 - Policies And Procedures For Keeping The Classifica- tion Plan Up -To -Date Were Developed Once implemented, it is important that the position classification be periodically updated as necessary. The City's current personnel rules and regulations and other administrative policies regarding position classification were reviewed. Chapter III of this report identifies specific policy and procedure recommendations which will iI hS provide the necessary administrative guidelines for maintaining an up-to-date plan. Task 10 - The Final Position Classification Plan Was Prepared After the draft position classification plan was reviewed, and the comments and suggestions received, the position classification plan was finalized. The Position Classification Plan Proposes 97 Classes Of Work And Covers Approximately 250 Positions The proposed Position Classification Plan consists of class titles and descriptions or specifications. Allocation lists of positions by department have been prepared showing the assignment of each position to a given class and are included in the Position Classification Manual attached with this report. The Position Classification Plan covers approximately 250 positions and proposed 97 classes of work. The specifications for each of the classes of work are presented separately in the Position Classification Manual. The Position Classification Plan cor.':,rns those duties and responsibilities that were assigned to er'oloyees or included in vacant positions at the time of the study. The exceptions are those classes that have been added to meet anticipated needs and to create career ladders. The plan is based on position cratent rather than employee qualifications. It does not constitute an appraisal of any individual employee's competence, efficiency, capabilities, or length of service, nor does it consider the individual's experience prior 9 to his or her present employment. The plan reflects the content of the various positions as they existed in the City at the time of the study. It .., should be remembered that the class descriptions are merely descriptions or the work that is performed. .y. The Implem?ntation Of The Proposed Position Classification Plan Will Result In A Number Of Important Changes There are a number of changes that will result from the implementation of the proposed Position Classification Plan. The most important changes are those that allocated City employees to new classifications. These changes are indi- cated in detail in the allocation lists contained in the Position Classifica- tion Manual. In addition, a number of other important changes will occur, including: r . Career Ladders One of the principal objectives of the classification study �. was to clarify and modify career ladders that would permit the upward mobility of City employees. As a result of this study, a number of career ladders have been identified. These career ladders are depicted in an appendix to the report and are organized on the basis of the following career series: - Administrative - Building - Clerical/Administrative Support - Finance - Fire 10 Me KY $44 - Library - Planning/Redevelopment - Police - Public Works - Engineering - Public Works - Maintenance Services - Parks/Recreation - Classification Title Changes A large number of the existing classification titles are recommended to be changed for several reasons which include: - To bring the class title more in con- formance with actual job duties. - To properly distinguish between current and newly proposed classes of work. - To conform to federal and state laws regarding equal employment opportuni- ties. The classifications proposed for title changes are listed below: Current Title - Administrative Assistant - Administrative Intern - Assistant City Librarian - Livil Engineering Assistant - Civil Engineering Associate - Clerk Typist - Communications Operator 11 Proposed Title Administrative Assistant II Administrative Aide Assistant to Library Director Assistant Civil Engineer Associate Civil Engineer Clerk Typist I Communications Operator I Current Title - Construction Maintenance Man - Departmental Administrative Assistant - Director of Building and Housing - Engineering Aide - Equipment Mechanic - Fireman - Intermediate Account Clerk - Library Assistant - Library Clerk - Maintenance Man - Meter Shop Foreman - Park Caretaker - Public Works Foreman - Recreation Supervisor - Recreation Leader III - Redevelopment Coordinator - Secretary to Planning Director - Senior Account Clerk - Senior Building Inspector - Senior Engineering Aide - Senior Library Clerk - Senior Library Assistant: - Switchboard Operator Receptionist - Water Maintenance Foreman - Water Pump Foreman - Water Pump Operator 12 Proposed Title Building Maintenance Carpenter Administrative Assistant I Building Official Engineering Aide I Equipment Mechanic II Firefighter Account Clerk I Library Assistant I Library Clerk I Maintenance Worker I Meter Shop Supervisor Maintenance Worker I Sewer Maintenance Supervisor Recreation Supervisor II Recreation Supervisor I Redevelopment Program Manager Secretary II' Account Clerk II Plan Check Inspector Engineering Aide II Library Clerk II Library Assistant II Receptionist Clerk Water Maintenance Supervisor Water Pump Supervisor Utility Pump Operator . flew Classifications A number of new classifications are reco listed below. In general, these classes purposes, including the recognition of h currently performed by City employees, e ladders, and anticipating future classif some instances, existing positions are r, reclassified and allocated to the new cl - Accounting Technician i - Assistant to City Manager - Audio -Visual Supervisor j y - Building Maintenance Carpenter - Clerk Typist II - Communications Operator II I- - Equipment Maintenance Superint, - Equipment Mechanic Leadworker i { = i - Equipment Mechanic I, II `x 1 - Equipment Service Worker - Libr?rian III Tr - Maintenance Electrician I, II - Meter Reader/Repairer - Park Maintenance Worker II - Park Maintenance Worker III i - Personnel Director i - Purchasing Officer - Sanitation Services Supervisor -- - Secretary I - Secretary II `' 13 - Steno Clerk I, II - Street Maintenance Worker II - Street Maintenance Worker II - Transportation Engineer - Utility Maintenance Worker II "" - Utility Maintenance Worker III A Number Of Steps Were Taken In Establishing Internal Salary Relationships And Assigning The New Classes To An Appropriate Salary Range An important objective of the project assignment included a review of internal salary relationships for all new and existing classes. Because the above new classes of work are not currently contained in either the City's classifica- tion or compensation plans, salary range recommendations have been proposed for these classes. In order to assure that proper internal salary relation- ships will exist for all classes of work after adopting the salary ranges recommended for the new classes, some existing classes are also recommended for adjustment. It is stressed that all salary range recommendations were based entirely on internal relationships. The scope of this assignment did not include the collection and analysis of salary data from other comparable employers. In order to develop the salary range recommendations for the new classes and properly adjust the salary range for other classes to achieve rational and internally consistent relationships for all classes, the following steps were taken: Benchmark classifications were identified and the top step of the proposed salary range was set at the same level as the top step of the existing salary range. For example, 14 the class of Stenographer Clerk II was selected as a banch- mark ".lass If Icat ion and the top step of the proposed salar y - range for Stenographer Clerk II was set at the same level as the top step of the existing salary range. Once the benchmark classifications were identified, the salary ranges for all other classifications were established in relationship to the appropriate benchmark classification in accordance with steps described below. . Trainee or "I" level classifications were assigned a top salary step approximately 10% below the top step of the _. journey level class in the appropriate class series. For example, the top salary step for Stenographer Clerk I is approximately 101. below the top salary step of Stenographer Clerk II. . Leadworker or "III" level classifications were assigned a a top salary step approximately 10% above the journey level classification in the apprcpriate class series in recogn;- tion of the lead supervision responsibilities and the com- plexity of the work, such as heavy equipment operation, assigned to the classifications. For example, the top salary step for Street Maintenance Worker III is approxi- mately 10% higher than the journey level class of Street Maintenance Worker II. . Senior level classifications were set between 5% and 15% above the journey level classification and between 5% and -'" 15 10% above a lead classification in the appropriate class series, depending on the slope of supervisory r espons i bility and independence of action assigned to the class. i. . Supervisory classifications were set a minimum of 15% above the highest paid subordinate classification. A summary of the proposed salary range relationships for all classes has been i developed and provided to the City under separate cover for review with the appropriate employee labor representatives prior to implementation of the plan. i - How To Implement Classification Changes The revisions to the City's existing Position Classification Plan, proposed by this study, should be made effective by action of the City after consultation F with appropriate employee labor representatives. After such consultation, necessary actions should be taken to implement the proposed reclassifications F > and title changes. LL . Reclassification All employees should be assigned to the new class and compensated in accordance with established City policies and practices regarding reclassification actions. In the event that existing City policies do not clearly establish a procedure for reclassification actions, all employees recommended for reclassification should be: - Converted to A step of the proposed range. .K .. 16 0 1 tM - If A step of the proposed range is less than 5%, the employee should be con- verted to the salary step that insures a minimum 5% pay increase. - A salary step should not be made above the maximum step of the new range. - If an employee's present salary is -� above that of the maximum step of the new range, the present salary should be frozen. The employee will be continued at the salary range effective on the date the reclassification is effective i as long as he or she continues to i i occupy the position or until the pay range is raised above the frozen salary. i If an employee is reclassified to a 1 f higher level classification, that employee should serve the City's ~ standard probationary period and receive performance evaluations during the probationary period as prescribed by existing City policies. . Title Changes Positions recommended for title changes are not recommended for salary increases or decreases. Incumbents in these -- positions should be informed of their new title upon the implementation of the Position Classification Plan. If the no 17 r-- current salary range for an existing class is proposed to be changed for the purpose of achieving proper internal salary equity, positions assigned to those classes should be placed in their present step in the new salary range. .r t rA , 18 Chapter III MAINTENANCE OF THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN The Classification Manual, when implemented in accordance with the recommenda- tions, including compensation rocommendations included in this report, will provide the City of Carlsbad with an up-to-date comprehensive classification plan and an internally related compensation plan. It is important that both the classification and compensation plans be kept up-to-date in order to assure that classification and compensation practices are managed in a fair and equitable manner. e � y Several Factors Will Continually Require Adjustments In The Classification Plan An up-to-date classification plan is based upon several important premises. These are: . Positions which are similar in terms of job duty, and the skills and abilities required to perform the work should be allocated to the same class. . The classes utilized should properly distinguish among unskilled, semi -skilled and skilled, supervisory, manage- ment and administrative duties. . Salary differentials and relationships among classes should be based upon: - A clear recognition, based upon factual job content, of the duties and respon- sibilities assigned to the class. "" 19 - Comparable rates of pay for similar work as determined by periodic labor market surveys. Events which occur as a result of daily operational routine will, over time, w require modifications to the basic classification plan, the allocation of positions to classes and the assignment of rates of pay to respective classes. For example, such events may include: . Intentional or unintentional redistribution of work assign- ments caused by prolonged vacancies in positions, organiza- tion structure changes and other activities. . Adding or deleting services. . New state and federal regulations which impact the level and type of service provided. . Growth in the job resulting from the assumption of broader _ responsibilities and personal effort by an employee. It Is Important That Procedures And Practices For Monitoring And Updatinq The Classification Plan Be Leveloped And Utilized Several steps may be 11 taken by the City Council to assure that the classifica- tion plan is periodically updated and that individual positions are audited as �. necessary to assure they are allocated to an appropriate class. These include: Ow 20 The Classification Plan The classification plan Tlhich identifies all classes of �- work for full-time permanent positions should be reviewed and adopted by the City Council as provided in the City' existing Personnel Rules and Regulations. w . Assignment Of Positions To Classes -- Based upon an analysis of duties, it may be necessary to periodically reassign a position; whether occupied or vacant, to a more appropriate class. Authority for such actions should be assigned to the City Manager so that individual and periodic classification changes may be made consistent with the approved classification plan, budget allocations and the City's Personnel Rules and Regulations. . Request For Review Of Classification Assignment A procedure should be established and documented which will provide individual employees or their supervisors with a means of requesting a review of the classification assign- ment for a specific position. Such reviews should be con- ducted in two stages which are: - Preliminary Review - The preliminary review should determine if there is reasonable doubt that a position is properly classified. Typical steps to be taken and considerations to be made when conducting such reviews are: NM 21 .. A review of previous classifica- tion audits of the position. .. Discussions with the employee regarding changes in job duty assignments. .. Discussions with the employee's supervisor regarding specific job duties assigned to the employee and to similar positions in the same class series. If a preliminary review results in a determination that the position is properly classified, the request for reclassification should be denied and the employee and supervisors so informed. - Position Audit - If there is reasonable doubt as to whether the duties assigned to a position have significantly changed over time, an in-depth position audit should be conducted. Typical trays to pursue a detailed position audit would include: .. Completion of a position descrip- tion questionnaire by all incum- bents ir, the class being audited. 22 .4% .. Review of the position description questionnaires to note similari- ties and differences. .. Personal interviews with all incumbent, in the class being audited to verify and clarify assigned job duties. .. Analysis and comparison of exist- ing class descriptions, completed position description question- naires and interview notes. .. Determine if any or all positions assigned to the class include significantly different job duties and require significantly differ- ent skills, abilities, knowledge and overall qualifications to successfully perform the work. .. Modify class descriptions as appropriate, allocate positions to a proper class and assign rates of compensation based upon proper internal compensation relation- ships. . Maintenance of Internal Salar,Relationships It is important that proper internal salary relationships be established among the various classes in a career 23 I - series. Adequate differentials in pay to reflect signifi- cant differences in joh responsibilities are imiiportant both in terms of fairly and equitably compensating employees for w work performed and in improving employee acceptance and understanding of the City's overall classification and compensation plans. Once internal salary relationships among classes have been N, determined and reviewed with appropriate labor representa- tives, future salary adjustments should take into account the need to maintain these relationships unless labor market and job duty changes otherwise indicate. . Classification Audits By Class Series The Position Classification Plan outlined in the accompany- ing Classification Manual identifies eleven separate career series (page 9). The appendix identifies the career ladders for the various classes in each series. Periodic classification audits of selected classes in each career series will help to maintain an up-to-date overall classi- fication plan. The "Preliminary Review" and "Position Audit" procedures Previously outlined may also be utilized and, if necessary, appropriately modified to conduct the annual classification audits. Resulting changes in assigned rates of compensa- tion which may result from such ennual reviews should be discussed with the appropriate labor representatives prior to implementation. 24 �• Organization Structure And Staffing Plan Changes Should Consider The Impact Upon Assigned Job Duties And Position Allocations To The Various Classes Organization structure changes and redistribution of job duties may often affect the proper classification of positions. Annual budget requests and other recommendations and plans developed by operating departments should also taw identify any anticipated impacts upon job duty assignments and position allocations for the personnel involved. This approach will highlight and project classification decisions which must be resolved prior to implementing such plans. All Administrative And Supervisory Personnel Have Responsibility For Maintenance Of The Classification Plan All administrative and supervisory personnel have some responsibility for maintaining an up-to-date classification system. In general terms, these responsibilities may be outlined as follows: g City Manager - Maintenance of the classification plan as an w essential element of the City's Personnel System under 3 policy direction of the City Council. . Personnel Director - Daily administration of the classifi- cation plan and the conduct of periodic classification audits; guidance and assistance to departments regarding proper utilization of the classification plan. 25 . Department Heads - Administration of the classification plan as applicable to the positions assigned under their -' control to include: - Guidance and training of middle manage- ment and supervisory personnel _ regarding the distribution of work and the use of the classification plan. - Identification and review of both existing and potential classification problems. . Middle Managers and Supervisors - Daily supervision of the classification plan as applicable to the positions assigned under their control to include: - Proper distribution of work based upon classification assignment. -� - Identification of both existing and potential classification problems. - Interpretation of the classification 1 plan to employees. 1' 26 APPENDIX A Career Ladder Illustrations 27 w W A A R Im i N QI rt1 C 0 4J •r U S- O >T O 4-) rt3 V i N p •r U N 4J C C C rtf O {� N N W N 0- 0 S- t:n 4-1 CO C C 4 N •r• VN 4 N •r d U O r t-1 2 41 4-) C N (3 •r lj C IN •r •r E N i7 N d d al > .r 4J V--4 ild S- 4-) 4-) C N tC •r i9 C N E N "a N d d Q N •r t� L iJ N •r C •r W E -v 'O •r G d va 28 0 4-% U N M N C H 29 2' W 0 .w C) u O O 4-) 4-) co (z t0 O 4J C 4-) 41 S• S_ Q U U H i to N V J N N H _I x H S- m fo +J O (D c S- m U i-) N N IN (y W -0 4-3 CU N (a N QS Ca L) ra y C.)

The specifications are intended to be descriptive and explan- atory by de Fining classes rather than prescribing restrictions. They should be interpreted in their entirety and in relation to one another; particular phrases or examples should not be isolated and treated as the full definition of the class. The specifications are especially designed to describe the nature and diversity of work performed by employees of the City of Carlsbad and, therefore, may or may not relate directly to the work performed by employees of other agencies. Each class description includes a definition of the general nature of work; a list of examples representative of the work; a list of qualifications including knowledges, abilities, experience and training. The latter section refers to -� qualifications at the time of appointment and does not necessarily reflect those of incumbent employees. They are not intended to be used as controls in Y establishing qualification standards. CLASS TITLES The class title is a brief and descriptive designation of the type of work per- ; formed. The class title on payrolls, budget estimates, personnel reports and other official forms and reports dealing with positions or.personnel, will pro- vide a common understanding of the positions. It should be understood that the class title is selected to serve this purpose. 1 DEFINITION This section is a general description of the work. Included are such factors as supervision exercised and received, responsibility and difficulty, and the like. 1� ! DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS This section, when used, describes the level of work in relation to higher or lower classes in the same series. EXAMPLES OF DUTIES I ' This section provides a more complete concept of the actual work performed in -, positions allocated to the class. Typical tasks are listed which are common to positions of the class, and which show the range of duties performed by employees ; .., in the class. The list of tasks is descriptive only and is not intended to des- cribe all the work performed in all positions in the class. Also, the examples of work tasks will not apply all pp y to positions allocated to the class. This section merely serves to illustrate the more typical portions of the work. QUALIFICATIONS This section lists those knowledges and abilities which are desired to be pos- sessed by applicants for a position to be allocated to the class. Also included is the desirable level of experience and training when appropriate. It should be stressed that this section does not in any way have reference to the qualif- ications of present employees. .d 2 NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS A, In certain classifications, legal or special provisions require possession of a specific license or certification issued by a board of licensure as a condition i of employment. In other classes such licenses or certifications may be desir- able condition of employment. These requirements appear on the class specifi- cation under the section entitled Necessary Special Requirement or Desirable Special Requirement. MAINTENANCE OF THE CLASS SPECIFICATIONS These specifications describe the work currently performed by employees of the -+ City of Carlsbad. It will be necessary to continually monitor and update the specifications as the nature of job responsibilities change due to changing service level and job requirements. Sach continual monitoring will help to assure that employees are assigned to the most appropriate class based upon the work performed. Toward this end an outline of procedures and recommenda- tions for the annual maintenance of the classification plan is submitted under separate cover. 3 ALLOCATION LIST Proposed Allocation Current Allocation Administrative Assistant City Manager William Baldwin Assistant C1ty Manager Personnel Director Jerome Pieti Assistant to City Manager '# Assistant To The City Manager Administrative Assistant "., I Frank Mannen Purchasing Officer Ruth Fletcher Administrative Assistant Account Clerk II E1vira Landwer Intermediate Account Clerk ' Buildin Building Official Richard Osburn Building and Housing Director Plan Check/Inspector Building inspector •� Ray Green .Senior Building Inspector Tony Plata Building Inspector John Nelson Building Inspector Emile elude Building Inspector _.
