ESTABLISH LEAD COMMUNICA
CLASSIFICATION AND SALARY
DEPT. JJR
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. $fw@ to establish the job classification of Lead Communications
Operator, revise the job descriptions for the Communications Operator I, II and
Communications Supervisor, revise the job description of Community Service Officer III,
and amend the Police Department Salary Schedule.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
During the FY 1998-99 budget process, the Police Department received approval to add a
position to address the need for more supervisory assistance in covering the 24 hour
communication center operations. Human Resources assisted the Police Department in
developing the new classification and compensation for Lead Communications Operator and
updating the job descriptions of Communications Operator I, II and Supervisor. These job
descriptions are submitted for Council consideration and approval as Attachment A, B and
C, and the amended Police Department Salary Schedule to add the new classification of
Lead Communications Operator is submitted as Attachment E.
Also during the budget process, the enforcement responsibilities for the Lagoon were
transferred from Recreation to Police, resulting in adding a new position in the Police
Department. The Police Department has chosen to consolidate these new responsibilities
with other enforcement duties into the Community Service Officer III classification. The
Community Service Officer III job description was revised to include the unique
responsibilities and qualifications required in the Lagoon enforcement position and is
submitted for Council consideration and approval as Attachment D.
LEAD COMMUNICATIONS OPERATOR
The communications center is responsible for answering all calls for service requests for
both police and fire, including 911, and for dispatching both police and fire units 24 hours a
day. The communications center is currently staffed by 13 Communication Operators and
one Communications Supervisor, and is operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week. One
supervisor is present for approximately 25 percent of the overall time, subsequently
additional supervisory assistance is needed. Therefore, the Police Department requested and
received approval to add one additional shift supervisor position in the FY 1998-99 budget.
The addition of a Lead Communications Operator enables a better response to performing
duties, such as, running special reports and resetting the computer-aided dispatch system
when there are problems, as well as increasing the span of supervisory control and
improving communications between day and evening shifts. This position will rotate shifts
with the Communications Supervisor as necessary to meet the needs of the operation.
Page 2 of AB # & fy/ /
Based on a market survey of similar positions in the county and internal comparability to
other lead positions, staff recommends the allocation of the Lead Communications Operator
to Salary Range 24, $35,008 - $42,552 in the Police Department Salary Schedule. The
salary and benefits cost for this new position has been approved in the FY 1998-99 Police
Department budget.
Human Resources also updated job descriptions for the Communications Operators I and II,
and Communications Supervisor to reflect the current duties, responsibilities and
certification requirements for these positions. They also have been formatted for
consistency in the progression of the job series.
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER III
Because the duties of the Lagoon Patrol assignment for Community Service Officer III
include certain specialized duties such as: operating a patrol boat, enforcing lagoon use
regulations, performing safety rescue and first aid if necessary, and assisting with disabled
boats or minor accidents, the job description has been revised to reflect these unique duties
and requirements. The Lagoon Patrol duties are required full-time during the summer
months and significantly less time during the remainder of the year. As a result, the position
will assume other civilian enforcement responsibilities similar to other Community Service
Officer III duties for the Police Department during the off-season. The annual salary of
$25,945 - $3 1,537 for the Community Service Officer III remains unchanged.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of salary and related benefits for the Lead Communications Operator is estimated at
$58,000. These funds have been approved and included in the FY 1998/99 Police
Department operating budget.
