RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission approve the revised Classification Specification and Recruitment Bulletins for Maintenance Worker II.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Maintenance Worker II 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. The position, based on the assignment, is responsible for performing semi-skilled and skilled tasks in the maintenance and repair of City facilities, including parks and public works infrastructure.
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 II 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 include duties performed by incumbents in PRCS. Also, the proposed changes throughout the classification specification capture the actual job duties being performed by the incumbents 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 Definition, Distinguishing Characteristics, Supervision Received and Exercised, Essential Job Duties, Minimum Knowledge, Skills and Abilities, License and Certificates, Training and Experience, and Physical Requirements and Working Conditions.
The addition of the Class B driver’s license as desirable is included as an incentive for incumbents in the Public Works Department wanting to obtain this license and endorsement if they do not already have it. The current license requirement remains as a Class C which is still appropriate, especially for incumbents in PRCS.
