Senior HR Analyst Young\nanswered that there was no specific reason other than that this is how it was previously\nwritten and they will move to a consistent term. Member Barde asked in general, what a\nrelated field is as listed under education and whether this is a deterrent. HR Analyst\nRomeo gave an example of a law degree used as a related field for the HR Analyst\nclassification. HR Director Bronstein added that a related field can be stretched pretty far.\nSenior HR Analyst Young also added that all the job descriptions state we accept a\ncombination of education and experience which allows for flexibility.\nMember Brandt asked if the City still has a Cable Television station or channel that\nbroadcasts City meetings as described under example of duties #9. Finance Director\nAdair answered that Comcast is working on technical issues so that there is a government\nchannel. It was agreed to add webcast to the duties description as well as to the Deputy\nCity Clerk example of duties. On page two under other requirements, it was agreed to\nremove the word \"or\" from \"and/or\" listed in the fourth paragraph from both Assistant and\nDeputy City Clerk. Under experience, it was discussed to keep the years of experience\nas written in the new version to allow flexibility.\nFor the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) System Administrator special\nrequirement, it was agreed to remove \"or\" from \"and/or\" from the sentence.\nMember Brandt moved to accept the specifications listed on item 5-A-iv with the\nrecommended changes and with the exception of Administrative Services\nCoordinator - AMP.
