CivilServiceBoard | 2016-01-06 | 5 | City of Alameda Page 5 Civil Service Board Minutes Regular Meeting January 6, 2016 Executive Secretary Gonzales explained that the current class specification for Police Captain is how the original class specification was written in terms of education, experience requirements, and various certifications. She further explained that in 2013, a decision was made to change the qualifications to include a degree. As a result of more recent negotiations and discussions, the City is returning to the original class specification. Member Nolan inquired if the Sergeant position listed supervisory training as a requirement. Chief of Police Rolleri stated that it did. Chief of Police Rolleri explained that each certificate is carried forward throughout a Police Officer's career. At the Sergeant's level, the incumbent receives a supervisory certificate, and at the Lieutenant's level, the incumbent receives the management certificates. Vice President Malloy expressed her concern about the language within the Police Captain class specification regarding the incumbent's ability to provide leadership.

She further asked if the incumbent would do website-related work. Senior Human Resources Analyst Low introduced himself as the Senior Human Resources Analyst assigned to Alameda Municipal Power (AMP). The Media Coordinator will be partially responsible for the website but will also be a critical classification that will work very closely with the Senior Communications Specialist, a classification that functions much like the City's Public Information Officer. The Media Coordinator will keep AMP customers, both residential and business, up to speed with AMP activities and work on both electronic and printed information with the Communications Specialist. Vice President Malloy stated there was no indication within the class specification that the incumbent will be regulating or managing the rights of users. She further stated that this position is not really a web master. She speculated that this position is, therefore, someone who will maintain web content.
