lot 3-B. , REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager February 14, 2005 Subject Job description and salary range for Water Conservation Specialist classification. Recommendation It is recommended that Council approve the job specifications and salary range for the Water Conservation Specialist classification. Background The City Council approved the Fiscal Year 2004/05 budget for the new Water Resources Management sub-program, for the purpose of implementing the City's Water Conservation Program at the "active" levels described in the 2003 Urban Water Management Plan, including additional and re-deployed staffing. The proposed new job description for Water Conservation Specialist will give the City a full-time professional who will be responsible for implementation of the landscape irrigation efficiency effort, which will build on the existing "Best Management Practice 5" conservation program offered to cities by the Bay Area Water Supply & Conservation Agency (BAWSCA). The new position will also provide technical support to other areas of the conservation program. After meeting and conferring with Service Workers International Union (SEIU), agreement was reached as to the content of the new job description and the corresponding salary range. The agreed upon salary range is $5,001-$6,080 per month (includes PERS bonus). Alternative The alternative would be to continue using outside consultants under the regional BAWSCA program. However, doing so would not adequately fulfill the tasks and responsibilities that need to be performed to attain the Council's conservation goals. Fiscal Impact The proposed annual salary cost is already funded in full in the approved sub-program budget for Fiscal Years 2004/05 and 2005/06, under the Water Enterprise Fund operations budget. ~ -~ ~ 'L5~ ~f7¥ Patrick Alvarez Acting Human Resources Director Peter Ingram Public Works Attachments Job Description, Salary Exhibit, and Resolutions
