PDlHR A4 TITLE: REVISE AND DELETE VARIOUS POLICE DEPARTMENT CLASSIFICATIONS AND AMEND POLICE DEPARTMENT SALARY SCHEDULES DEPT.HD. %, CITY ATTY. CITY MGRa RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. 2005-346 to revise the Community Service Officer classification series, Lead Communications Operator, Police Sergeant, Senior Police Officer and amend Police Department salary schedules. ITEM EXPLANATION: COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICER SERIES The Police Department was tasked during FY 2004-05 to look at a number of different efficiency measures. One of the efficiency measures involves a recommendation to compress the Community Service Officer series from three to two levels and to eliminate the job classification of Community Services Officer 111. (This change will align the Community Service Officer classifications with the other non-sworn divisions in the Police Department, which are the Communication Operator and Police Records job families.) Staff proposes that the series be comprised of an entry level position, Community Service Officer I, which will automatically promote to the Community Service Officer I1 level after successful completion of a one year probationary period. The Community Service Officer I1 position will perform in a generalist capacity. Specialized and static assignments, such as lagoon patrol, currently assigned to the Community Services I11 position will be reassigned or eliminated wherever appropriate. The Community Service Officer I/II classification specification is listed as Attachment A. The proposed changes involve the reclassification of four Community Service Officer I11 positions to Community Service Officer I1 and the promotion of one Community Service Officer I position at the conclusion of the probationary period. The recommended classification changes will afford the department greater flexibility in staffing and enhance productivity, particularly during emergencies, investigations and traffic accidents which require immediate response from the department. During periods of high work load the department will utilize Community Service Officers for overtime or on call support. Rotation of assignments and cross-training will provide the department with the ability to respond to major traffic scenes with less costly personnel capable of supporting sworn officers by performing routine activities. Human Resources concurs with the Police Department recommendation to revise the Community Service Officer classification series. Staff has met and conferred with Carlsbad Police Officers Association on these issues who are in agreement with the changes. ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION TITLE AND SPECIFICATION CHANGES . Lead Communication Operator . Senior Police Officer . Police Sergeant . Police Officer The Department also recommended revisions to other classification specification language in order to I reflect Carlsbad Police Department current practices. The department recommends that the classification title and specifications for Lead Communication Operator, Attachment B, be amended to Communications Supervisor and that the salary remain at Range 24. The single incumbent Communication Supervisor classification at salary range 37 is no longer staffed and the department has recommended that it be deleted. The department also recommends that the classification title and specification for Senior Police Officer, Attachment C, be changed to Corporal and maintain the existing salary range. Additional classification specification changes have also been recommended for the Police Sergeant classification, Attachment D, and Police Officer, Attachment E with no change in salary range. Staff has met and conferred with the Carlsbad Police Officers Association regarding the recommendations. FISCAL IMPACT: The immediate cost to compress the Community Service Officer series is approximately $9,000 per year. The costs reflect elevating the Community Service Officer I1 salary grade from 17 to 19, the current designation for the Community Service Officer 111 and promoting one existing Community Service Officer I to a Community Service Officer I1 when she successfully passes the probationary period. The expenses may be offset by savings in Police Officers overtime. There is no cost to revising the other classification specifications. The Police Department has adequate funds in their budget to address the costs indicated. EXHIBITS: 1. Resolution No. 2005-346 with its Attachments A, B, C, D and E 2.
