RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission approve the revised Classification Specification and Recruitment Bulletin for Maintenance Worker I.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Maintenance Worker I classification is shared by three departments: Public Works, Parks, Recreation and Community Services (PRCS) and Transportation. The work performed can vary based upon the department and assignment.
Currently, there are two vacancies within the Transportation Department. In anticipation of conducting an open and competitive recruitment to fill these vacancies, Human Resources staff in concurrence with Public Works, PRCS, and Transportation management completed a review of the Maintenance Worker I classification. 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.
The proposed revisions will assist the City with providing clarity to applicants regarding essential duties 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, and Physical Requirements and working conditions.
Classification Specification
• Definition
Minor revisions to this section were made to include the Transportation Department.
• Supervision Received and Exercised
Revisions to this section were made to reflect the incumbent may receive supervision from higher level Maintenance Worker classifications.
• Essential Job Duties
In this section, duties were added that capture the work performed by the incumbent based up the assigned department.
• Physical Requirements and Working Conditions
Minor revisions were made in this section to include training will be received when working with harsh and toxic substances and within enclosed spaces.
Recruitment Bulletin
The recruitment bulletin is reflective of the classification specification.
Bargaining Unit Representation
This classification is represented by the Culver City Employees Association (CCEA). A copy of the proposed classification specification has been provided to CCEA and they are in agreement with the proposed changes.
