CivilServiceBoard | 2013-04-10 | 5 | City of Alameda Page 5 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting April 10, 2013 Analyst Kovacs stated that is correct and that is not a change. It is in all the Safety MOU's. Only Chief of Police and entry Police Officer will go outside. Vice President Horikoshi asked if there was a Street Sweeper Operator who does not work early morning shift. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs stated yes. The other people who operate the street sweepers are Maintenance Worker Il's and it is more of an intermittent part of their job. In the past the Early Morning Street Sweeper Operator has been paid with a differential, but the Public Works Director determined that the best way to handle the situation was to have a designated classification for the position and the differential is included in the salary. President Peeler stated that it seems they would not need supervision as much. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs stated that is correct, but that does not mean that a supervisor would not on occasion show up. Member McHugh stated that in thinking back to the exercise the Board went through with the Golf Course and the lack of clarity about whether jobs in public works were the same as those in golf, how likely are we to run into the similar situation with these being so specifically separated out into classifications? If there is a need to reduce the ranks basically this one person assigned to the Early Morning Street Sweeper has no bumping rights. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs stated that very likely this would be a promotional opportunity from within and if there were layoffs and the Early Morning Street Sweeper was eliminated, the incumbent employee would likely having bumping rights to a lower previously held position, such as a Maintenance Worker II. Member Malloy asked if they did have a vacancy, generally in these cases they are done promotionally or internally first. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs responded that is correct. If they did not find a qualified candidate and went outside to fill the position, and if that individual came in and had not held a previously lower position, then they would have no bumping or demotion rights. Member Malloy asked if this position is union represented. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs stated yes. Member Malloy asked if there were no objections by the union. Senior Management Analyst Kovacs stated there were no objections to the Early Morning Street Sweeper Operator. Member Malloy moved that the Consent Calendar items be approved. Motion was seconded by Member Batchelor which was passed by a 5-0 vote. Member Malloy stated that she would find it helpful if the staff could provide a four or five sentence intro summary about the classifications that are attached. If there were a brief summary it might eliminate a lot of questions. Is that too much work for the staff? Senior Management Analyst Kovacs stated that the specifications were broken out in the listing between new and revised and that wherever possible redline versions are provided. Staff does try to anticipate the questions and tries not to be redundant. Member McHugh stated that if it was a choice to have the summary or a redlined document she would rather have the redlined document. Member Batchelor also agreed. 5. REGULAR AGENDA ITEMS 5-A. City Clerk to Discuss Civil Service Board Members Attendance Guidelines and Sunshine Ordinance Clarification. Lara Weisiger, City Clerk, stated the training for the Sunshine Ordinance is done annually. There is also the option of possibly putting the training on the web. Member Malloy asked if they need to provide notice that they have completed the training. City Clerk Weisiger stated yes, that the declaration form will be sent out at the same time that the Form 700 is sent out. The City Clerk's Office will send notices out if they are missing any.
