Member Nolan moved to approve Consent Calendar items 4-A-i, 4-A-ii, and 4-A-iii.
Motion was seconded by Member Hosmer, which was passed by a 3-0 vote
(President Malloy arrived after the vote).
Items under section 5-A-iv were pulled for further discussion. For both Account Manager
and Senior Account Manager specifications, Vice President Brandt asked if we are
accepting knowledge and abilities under employment standards through education and
experience or one or the other and how have we listed this on other class specifications.
Senior Analyst Young answered that there may be variations on other class
specifications, but it is meant to be listed without the ""and"" or ""or"" between education and
experience. Member Nolan asked if we can provide an organizational chart showing how
the Account and Senior Account Manger fit in the organization. Senior Analyst Netto
described that Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) has a Customer Service Division and
these two positions manage residential and medium to large commercial accounts. Under
this division are also Customer Service Representatives and Energy Analysts. Member
Noland asked the main distinction between the two positions. Senior Analyst Netto
answered that the Senior Account Manager is the lead and will handle more complex and",CivilServiceBoard/2019-01-09.pdf

larger commercial customer accounts. Member Nolan asked if the Account Manager is
here for two years, are they eligible for the Senior Account Manager position. Senior
Analyst Netto answered that currently only if there is a vacancy. HR Director Bronstein
added that right now there isn't enough work for two at the top level.

A patron feels they paid too much for a bran muffin at the Café and feels they try other places such as
Costco instead of Feel Good Bakery because they are too expensive. The Café Coordinator responded that
they are aware that Feel Good Bakery prices have risen and will track sales of Feel Good Bakery items
and will look for alternatives. Costco is not an option. Feel Good is close in proximity, have free delivery
and offers a generous discount to the café.
A
patron complimented Librarian Carlie Webber, by saying she did a great job, had excellent customer
