CivilServiceBoard | 2014-04-02 | 3 | City of Alameda Page 3 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting April 2, 2014 President Horikoshi stated that there was a minor correction on Office Assistant under Examples of Duties, #2, the extra word "and" at the end of the sentence should be removed. New Class Specifications: Administrative Services Coordinator - Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) City Engineer Executive Assistant - Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) Human Resources Manager Office Assistant - Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) Senior Human Resources Analyst - Alameda Municipal Power (AMP) Member Malloy asked about the Human Resources Manager specification; is the chain of command that there is not a Director anymore? Acting Human Resources Director Kovacs stated that there is no longer a Human Resources Director position and that Human Resources is now reporting to the Administrative Services Director. Member Malloy asked Acting Human Resources Director Kovacs if she was no longer serving as the Human Resources Director.
