OF PLEASANTON STAFF !tEPOBT October 18, 1977 HONORABLE CITY COUNCIL Pleasanton, California Department of Field Services and Division of Engineering Services POsition Classification Study Members of the Council: SUMMARY As a result of a position classification study of the full time, non-management positions within the Department of Field Services and the Division of Engineering Services, this report recommends approval of revisions to the current position class titles within 'Department of Field Services and the reclassification of two positions within the Division of Engineering Services, the latter to include salary range adjustments. BACKGROUND A major responsibility of the City Manager's Office in the area of personnel is to insure that each position in the City work- force is properly classified. Each time a position is established it is assigned to a class based upon the position's duties and responsibilities. However, over a period of time, due to changes in organization, workload, and methods of operation, the duties and responsibility of a position may change. If these changes in duties and responsibilities are significant, the class to which the position was assigned originally may no longer be appropriate. Before progressing further, it is necessary to define certain terms so that the contents of this report can be better understood. Position - a group of duties and responsibilities performed by an employee. Class - a group of positions whose duties and responsibilities are so similar so as to: (1) be given the same job title, (2) require the same education or experience, (3) be filled by the same tests of ability or selection methods, and (4) warrant the same salary range.
