ITEM EXPLANATION:
This item is a follow-up to two previous Council actions. The first action was approved on March 2, 1999 (Agenda Bill 15,072) which adopted the one to four years additional service credit for eligible City employees retiring from City service. The second action was on May 18, 1999 (Agenda Bill 15,199) which began implementation of organizational changes to the Public Works Major Service Area.
When the process of reorganization was initiated, the PW MSA had a total of 34 management positions under 22 job titles. As a result of the reorganization and consolidation of functions, the MSA has reduced the total management allocation to 30 positions under 12 job titles. This agenda bill completes the reorganization of management positions and titles by establishing 2 new classifications and reclassifying positions into the new classifications, and deleting and replacing 9 classifications with the focus towards flattening the organizational structure and creating a more efficient operation.
Staff recommends the following actions: the establishment of new classifications to consolidate similar supervisory functions of maintenance, utilities and engineering into one grouping; reclassification of seven positions into the new titles; and deletion of nine current management classifications.
A. Establish the new classifications of Public Works Supervisor and Senior Civil Engineer. Human Resources has reviewed and revised the classification specifications to assure compliance with work duties. The recommended salary grade placements of these new classifications are based on benchmark classification and salary information and internal relationships within the organization.

In summary, thirteen staff members in the Public Works MSA elected to retire under the one to four years service program. The annual cost (salary and benefits) of these positions totaled $882,323. The annual cost for the replacement positions totals $528,404. This results in an annual savings to the City of $353,919. Note, however, that this is offset by the cost to the Public Employees’ Retirement System (PERS) for the first four years. The total cost of the employees in the Public Works MSA of the one to four years service credit program is $704,336 or $176,084 annualized over four years. The net savings to the City for the first four years is $177,835 annually. The total savings resulting from this reorganization over the five year period is $1,065,259 (Note that in Years 1-4 the savings is $177,835 annually, however, the City experiences the total annual savings of $353,919 excluding the cost to PERS in year five).
Finally, the City is required to pay for the cost of the l-4 Years Service Credit directly to Public Employees’ Retirement System. Staff recommends that the payment be made in one installment in the first year and is requesting the following appropriations be made to the budget to fund this expenditure. The total payment to PERS for both Public Works and Fire is $734,452.

Request to Amend Agenda Bill Entitled: Amending the Management
Classification and Salary Structure; Reclassifying Public Works Positions;
Amending the Conflict of Interest Code to Reflect the Changes and Budget
Adjustments Relating to the One to Four Year Service Credit Program
The agenda bill noted above creates two new job classifications in salary grades three
and five and is scheduled for City Council action on Tuesday, August 17. The salary
ranges referenced in this document were obtained from the Management Salary
Structure document dated August 17, 1999. This document was scheduled to be
included in a separate City Council also scheduled for August 17. In order to minimize
confusion, Human Resources recommended that the “proposed figures” be included in
the Public Works agenda bill. Unfortunately, the agenda bill recommending the action to
revise the salary ranges was pulled from the City Council agenda and rescheduled for a
later date. Therefore, the figures currently included in the Public Works agenda bill are
incorrect.
At this time, we are requesting your approval to amend the agenda bill as follows:
