RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that that the Civil Service Commission (“Commission”) approve the revised classification specification for Technical Services Manager.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Information Technology Department is comprised of three divisions: Information Technology, Graphic Services, and Information Technology - Public Safety.
The Information Technology Division provides centralized information processing, telecommunications, and network services to all departments and division within the City. Information Technology provides project management, systems planning, design, and programming support for the enhancement of existing systems, as well as the development, hardware maintenance, and training of such systems, and as they serve to increase employee productivity.
The Technical Services Manager classification is part of the Information Technology Division. The Technical Services Manager is responsible for technical support to city departments on the use of hardware and infrastructure. Responsibilities include network administration, infrastructure management, computer operations, telecommunications, network security and disaster recovery.
In 1998, the Commission approved the newly created Technical Services Manager classification specification. Since that time, the role and responsibilities of the position have naturally evolved as well as the technology used to perform a number of the essential duties associated with this position. In addition, the scope and complexity, as well as the organizational structure of the Information Technology Department (“Department”) has changed.
The modifications to the classification specification are being proposed as the result of a desk audit that was performed which revealed that the incumbent was performing activities and had acquired new job responsibilities significantly outside of the classification. The proposed changes throughout the classification specification capture the actual job duties being performed by the incumbent and reflect the current needs of the department.
The Culver City Management Group (CCMG) has been provided copies of the revised classification specification for Technical Services Manager. Additionally, CCMG is in agreement with the proposed changes.
