Executive Secretary Willis responded that these involved title changes and modest changes in duties only, with no change in salary range. She further clarified that the new specifications had salary ranges associated with them based upon an internal and external equity study which takes into consideration the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the classification. These new classifications and changes to current classifications came about as a result of a study conducted by an outside consultant to right-size AMP after the sale of the telecommunications business line. The consultant surveyed other municipal electric utilities companies and made recommendations based upon industry standards. These recommendations were accepted by the Public Utility Board (PUB) and the specifications are what are being presented to the Civil Service Board today. Board Member McHugh asked whether or not testing had been set for the selection to fill these positions. Executive Secretary Willis stated that these were all Civil Service positions and as such, selections would be meritorious and eligibility lists would be established for each. The actual tests have not yet been developed. Board Member Batchelor asked if there would be any other lay-offs associated with these new classifications. Jill Kovacs responded that the intent was for current employees to apply for these positions without any additional lay-offs. Most of the positions opening up under these classifications will be posted for City employees only including eligible laid-off employees. Board Member McHugh stated that she understood the City to be in a hiring freeze. Executive Secretary Willis stated that the City has a new Interim City Manager and that she is considering the need for a hiring freeze on a case by case basis. Executive Secretary Willis clarified further that AMP has their own budget which was approved by the PUB and they are operating under this new budget and there is a need to fill some of these positions as soon as possible. | CivilServiceBoard/2009-07-01.pdf |
