H-R- DEPT. Hdf% CITY AT elm M 3ECOMMENDED ACTION: Resolution No. 2003- 308 approving the reallocation of salary ranges for Associate Engineer, Assistant Engineer, Engineering Technician I, Engineering Technician 11, Human Resources Technician, and Crime Prevention Specialist, revising the classification descriptions for Associate Engineer and Assistant Engineer; and amending the General Employees’ Salary Schedule. Job Classification Current Current Bi- Weekly Proposed Salary Salary Range Salary Range Rw Associate Engineer R93 2,304.31 - 2800.89 R 98 ITEM EXPLANATION: Proposed B-Weekly Salary Range 2,421.84 - 2,943.76 Consistent with the City’s practice to periodically review pay levels, Human Resources reviewed the salary market among comparable classifications in other San Diego County public agencies to ensure our salaries remain competitive. Staff completed comprehensive market studies of the Engineering Series, Human Resources Technician and Crime Prevention Specialist and reviewed the classification descriptions with management. As a result, staff recommends the following salary reallocations and classification description revisions for Council’s approval: Assistant Engineer Engineering Technician I1 Engineering Technician I Human Resources Technician Specialist Crime Prevention R76 1,945.68 - 2,365.01 R 82 2,065.40 - 2,510.50 R54 1,563.17 - 1,900.04 R57 1,610.54 - 1,957.61 R39 1,346.43 - 1,636.59 R45 1,429.27 - 1,737.28 R42 1,387.22 - 1,686.17 R52 1,532.36 - 1,862.60 R36 1,306.83 - 1,588.47 R44 1415.12 - 1720.07 The above reallocations represent adjustments for 24 employees in the Engineering, Human Resources and Police Department. Increases for individual employees range from 3% to 10% with the average increase being 4.5%. The proposed salary ranges will position the classifications at an elevated level within the marketplace congruent with the City’s compensation practices. Staff recommends adding the preferred special requirement of Registered Professional Engineer to the Associate Engineer classification specification and the Engineer-in-Training Certificate to the Assistant Engineer classification specification to elevate requirements that support higher level responsibilities currently being performed by the majority of Associate and Assistant Engineers. The higher level responsibilities include, coordinating consultants’ work and administrative communications, and supervising the day-to-day project requirements. Staff has met and conferred with the Carlsbad City Employees’ Association regarding the changes to the General Employees’ Salary Schedule as shown in Attachment A and the classification descriptions shown in Attachments B and C. Page 2 of 2 of AB # 17,389 FISCAL IMPACT: 12-2-03 The estimated annual salary and benefit cost for the reallocation adjustments is approximately $65,000 annually. The costs to fund these salary range reallocations will be included in the 2004-2005 recommended budget. The estimated $37,713 required to fund the adjustments for the remainder of this fiscal year will be absorbed in the current budgets.
