<br />15.15.2 Classification Study
<br />
<br />During the 2014-2017 MOU, the parties assembled an advisory committee to prepare relevant
<br />data for a classification study of the following job classifications: Consumer Services Technician,
<br />Utilities Specialist (water), Utilities Specialist (wastewater), Utilities Worker (water), Utilities Worker
<br />(wastewater), Utilities Locator, Lead PWMW (water), Lead PWMW (wastewater), PWMW II (water),
<br />PWMW II (wastewater), Customer Support Specialist, Recycled Water Specialist, and Water
<br />Conservation Specialist. The advisory committee included two representatives from department
<br />management, one representative of Human Resources, one representative of the Union, an
<br />employee in a water job classification under study and an employee in a wastewater job
<br />classification under study. No later than nine (9) months from the date of adoption of this
<br />agreement, the advisory committee presented to Human Resources advisory recommendations,
<br />including essential job duties, knowledge skills and abilities for each job classification, and a list of
<br />criteria for identification of comparable agencies.
<br />
<br />Upon receipt of the advisory committee’s recommendations, Human Resources or designee
<br />established a list of comparable public agency employers within the City’s labor market, and using
<br />data from those employers, prepare a salary survey, for each of the above-listed job classifications.
<br />The salary survey included base salary, certification pay, and any employer-paid member
<br />contributions to pension or deferred compensation plans. The salary survey was completed within
<br />six (6) months of receipt of the subcommittee’s advisory recommendations.
<br />
<br />During the term of the 2017 agreement, the parties shall reopen the meet and confer process over
<br />salary and certification pay for the job classifications of Consumer Services Technician, Customer
<br />Support Specialist, Recycled Water Specialist, and Water Conservation Specialist.
