CivilServiceBoard | 2014-10-27 | 5 | City of Alameda Page 5 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting October 27, 2014 is only one position assigned to this classification. Vice President Batchelor stated that when he looks at the duties, etc., it is a pretty broad description. Acting Human Resources Director Kovacs introduced Captain Leibnitz to the Board to answer questions regarding the Police Maintenance Technician. Captain Leibnitz stated that the job description for the position is fairly broad and has evolved over the years to include understanding and troubleshooting Police equipment, air conditioning systems, and anything to do with the Police Department building, along with other various duties such as purchasing chairs and toilet paper, and troubleshooting other areas. It is expected that this person would have an understanding of basic computers, police computers, and logistics. Duties cover a wide spectrum and it is beneficial if the person has experience with, and understanding of, basic computers and building maintenance. Vice President Batchelor asked that when this position goes out for recruitment, what are the aspects of the position that Police will be looking at; how will the Department determine what the best candidates will look like; what is the most important piece that the Department will be looking for. Captain Leibnitz stated it is based on something that can be learned, but also a personality trait. Someone that is not afraid to reach out to others for help, someone who has good basic common sense, and someone that knows the ins and outs of basic building maintenance. The Department is looking for someone well-rounded and can get the job done. Acting Human Resources Director Kovacs stated that staff is looking for the custodian facilities maintenance experience as well as substantial electronics installation experience. So if they have done one form or another of any sort of related electronics installation, in theory, they would be able to pick up the specialized electronic knowledge that is needed at the Police Department. Additionally, the maintenance experience desired would include working with complex instructions and rules. It could be difficult to find someone who has actually worked in a Police Department in this line of work, but we would be looking to find someone who has potential and has demonstrated the experience and aptitude to pick up the pieces of work where needed. Captain Leibnitz also stated that the person would have to be able to prioritize and be very well organized. The person in this position will be pulled in many directions and would need to be able to prioritize and organize. President Horikoshi asked if this is acceptable as written. Vice President Batchelor stated yes it is acceptable. Vice President Batchelor made a motion to approve the Police Maintenance Technician specifications as written with the redlines. Board Member Santos seconded the motion. Motion was approved 5-0. Discussion was held on the specifications for Public Works Project Managers I, II, and III. Board Member Santos stated that it looks like the Public Works Project Manager I does not supervise and the Public Works Project Manager Il and III do supervise. Is that correct? Are there any other differences? Is it a progression? Acting Human Resources Director Kovacs stated that it is a progression. The difference between the classifications is the level of the project. There are certain structural things that have to happen no matter what the size of the Public Works project, and the different levels are for the different project magnitudes. The Public Works Manager I would be doing entry level and more simple/routine projects; the Public Works Project Manager Il would be doing more moderate and standard projects; and the Public Works Project Manager III would be doing more complicated or complex projects. One way to identify these levels is by the dollar amount of the projects. In the specifications the amount is not included as they may become obsolete in a short G:\Personnel\CSB\All Minutes/201.
