RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission (Commission) approve the revised classification specifications for the Culver City Pre-Supervisor Training Program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
On December 7, 2016, at the joint meeting of the City Council and the Commission, staff presented the Pre-Supervisor Training Program (Program). The Program was discussed in detail including that in the coming months staff would bring the included classification specification changes to the Commission.
As the Commission may recall, the Program is designed to facilitate development of current City employees to gain skills necessary to compete for City promotional opportunities through an alternative path to traditional experience. Upon successful completion of the Program, participating employees gain knowledge and skills that enhance their value to the City and are better positioned to compete for promotions. The City gains a strengthened staff and is better prepared to address organizational needs.
Classification Specifications
The proposed global changes in the attached (Attachment 1) include additions and/or updates to the minimum knowledge, and skills and abilities sections to reflect necessary skill sets to support existing essential job duties. In addition, the minimum training and experience section proposed update reflect the organization level of the position. The proposed language incorporates the completion of the Pre-Supervisor Training Program in-lieu of the required lead or supervisor experience. The years of experience leading or supervising others reflects the level at which the classification is organizationally situated.
These classification specifications are within the Culver City Management Group (CCMG). CCMG has been made aware of the proposed changes and is in agreement with those changes. Human Resources anticipates adding additional classifications to the Program in the future. At this time, the below listed classification specifications are included with the proposed changes.
CCMG Classification Specifications (Attachment 1):
Housing Programs Supervisor
Recreation Supervisor
Senior Accountant
Senior Building Safety Inspector
Senior Civil Engineer
Senior Planner
Senior Solid Waste & Recycling Crew Supervisor
Technical Services Manager
FISCAL ANALYSIS
There will be no fiscal impact associated with the proposed changes to the classification specifications for the Pre-Supervisor Training Program.
