RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that hat the Civil Service Commission approve the revised Classification Specification and Recruitment Bulletins for Maintenance Worker I.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Maintenance Worker I classification is shared by two departments: Public Works and Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS). The Public Works Department provides maintenance and repair for the City’s fixed assets, which includes buildings, streets, sidewalks, storm drains, sewers, traffic signals, street lighting and other components of the infrastructure. The PRCS Department improves and protects our parks and natural resources and works consistently to make our parks safe, clean and healthful. Under immediate supervision, positions in this classification perform routine unskilled manual labor. The positions assigned to this classification work in a variety of divisions in the Public Works and Parks, Recreation and Community Services Departments.
Currently, both departments have vacancies. In anticipation of conducting an open and competitive recruitment to fill the vacancies in both departments, Human Resources staff in concurrence with Public Works and PRCS management completed a review of the Maintenance Worker I classification to ensure it accurately captures the essential job duties and minimum requirements. This review found that updates to the classification specification were needed.
During this review process, Human Resources staff concluded that revisions were needed to clearly define duties performed by incumbents in each department. The proposed changes capture the job duties being performed by the incumbents throughout these divisions and reflect the current needs of each department.
In addition, the proposed revisions will assist the City with providing clarity to applicants regarding essential duties and requirements of the position based upon assignment, and the knowledge, skill and ability expected to perform these duties. Revisions were made to the Classification Definition, Supervision Received and Exercised, Essential Job Duties, Minimum Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, Training and Experience and Physical Requirements and Working Conditions.
