CivilServiceBoard | 2010-04-07 | 3 | City of Alameda Page 3 of 5 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting of April 7, 2010 where they work right now and right now, to combine the two classifications into one, and then to mix that seniority, would create some issues of its own. President Peeler asked if one classification is more mechanically oriented. Jill Kovacs replied that Park Maintenance Worker is focused on the out-of-doors. While they may do some restroom maintenance and some sorts of small building maintenance, by-in-large, they dealing with things that are outside. They are dealing with grounds or they are dealing with specialized recreational areas like tennis courts or ball fields. President Peeler asked if either of the maintenance classifications repair equipment. Chris Low explained that Maintenance Workers I in Public Works are more inclined to maintain things like curbs, streets, gutters, lift stations, signs, and striping on roads. They also do some weed abatement, concrete work, carpentry, plumbing and some electrical work. Chris Low concluded by saying that the Maintenance Workers in Public Works are diverse as opposed to those in Parks. Jill Kovacs further explained that the Maintenance Worker I is considered semiskilled and on-track to becoming a skilled worker such as the Maintenance Worker II. The Park Maintenance Worker is not on the same track and probably wouldn't move directly to a skilled Maintenance Worker II position. Vice President Horikoshi agreed that it does seem like they have different skill sets. Member Roberto Rocha asked how they would transition between the two. Jill Kovacs responded that not many Maintenance Workers from Public Works come to Parks, and not many from Parks go to Public Works, since they are totally different areas. A Park Maintenance Worker would likely need to come into the classification series via the Maintenance Worker I classification. President Peeler asked if there was any further discussion regarding items on the Consent Calendar and asked for a motion to approve. Member Rocha moved to accept the consent calendar. Vice President Horikoshi seconded and the motion passed by a 5-0 vote. 5. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 5-A Activity Report Period of December 1, 2009 - February 28, 2010 Jill Kovacs reviewed the Activity Report noting that the Economic Development Department physically moved from Alameda Point to the first floor of City Hall. She further explained that the Housing Section of Economic Development was absorbed and transferred to the Housing Authority, which impacted three positions comprised of two active employees who are now housed and working out of the Housing Authority offices on Atlantic Avenue. Jill also noted that a Golf and Park Maintenance Worker was appointed to an open Custodian position at the Library, meaning that one less employee lost their job as a result of the Golf layoffs. The Board had asked at the last meeting about the Golf layoffs which were not included on that Activity Report because they were not effective until the Report being presented at this meeting. This Report shows action resulting from the Golf layoffs including retirements and demotions where employees | CivilServiceBoard/2010-04-07.pdf |
