CivilServiceBoard | 2009-10-07 | 2 | City of Alameda Page 2 of 3 Civil Service Board Agenda Regular Meeting of October 7, 2009 4D. LIST OF SPECIFICATIONS: New Classification Specifications: Deputy Fire Chief Existing Classification Specification Revision: Custodian Utility Accountant Classification Specification Title Change/Revision: FROM TO Computer Services Supervisor Utility Information Systems Supervisor IS Network Analyst Utility Information Systems Network Analyst IS Applications Specialist Utility Information Systems Billing Specialist IS Operations Technician Utility Information Systems Billing Technician President Peeler asked what the term "cancelled" meant with regard to the "List of Eligibles" Chris Low explained that it is rarely used, but when a list is cancelled it is because the remaining candidate or candidates are unsuitable for employment. He gave an example of a Public Safety Dispatcher recruitment where the candidates had passed the examination process and then failed to pass a background check. Their name(s) would remain on the list because they had passed the examination process, however the list would not have any viable candidates to choose from and would be cancelled. Member Batchelor asked about the position changes at Alameda Municipal Power (AMP). He asked the reasoning behind these changes and if these changes caused the City to be at risk by moving them from the City Information Systems (IS) to more of a specialized utility classification. He was specifically concerned if there would be any negative impact or risk should lay-offs result. Chris Low explained that the IS classifications at AMP and the IS classifications for the City have always been separate and distinct and as such, there would be minimal risk. Member McHugh stated that although she thought there was improvement made to the titles and job descriptions for the positions at AMP, she asked why the Network Analyst position had data professional responsibilities along with the networking responsibilities as that seemed out of the ordinary. She also asked about the use of the word "billing" in the titles of some of the jobs as these jobs seemed to be more systems specialists with a broader focus than just billing. Chris Low responded that there was not enough work for the Network Analyst to focus solely in one area and thus the classification is broader and takes on responsibilities of electrical and telephone. He also explained that the main focus of the "billing" positions is on the unique billing system application at AMP. Although, these positions will do other applications, those are minor as AMP is under the City system for payroll and accounting purposes. Member Horikoshi moved and member Batchelor seconded to approve the consent calendar. Motion passed, 4-0. 5. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Election of the Civil Service Board Vice President Executive Secretary Willis explained that she had overlooked the Vice President office when the Board elected a President at the July meeting. She stated that she had provided an excerpt from the City Charter in the Board packet which states that each board shall elect a President, a Vice President, and such other officers as it may desire. | CivilServiceBoard/2009-10-07.pdf |
