Wage & Salary Structure/Administration * Section 6. Sick Leave * Section 7. Vacation Leave * Section 12. Exempt and Non-Exempt Job Classifications Also attached for reference purposes is a copy of the above referenced Sections of Ordinance No, 17-90 with those subsections effected by the amendments highlighted in yellow, The underlying issues prompting the proposed amendments to these Sections are addressed on a section-by-section basis under the "ISSUES" segment of this report, Most of the proposed amendments, with the exception of Section 4, , are of a "housekeeping" nature, For reasons discussed in the "ISSUES" segment, Staff recommends approval of Ordinance No, 107-90, ISSUES The following is a point-by-point discussion of Sections 1 - 10 of Ordinance No, 107 -90, Section l. Section 1. of Ordinance 107-90 seeks to amend Section 2. ("WAGE & SALARY STRUC- TURE/ADMINISTRATION"), subsection A, , of Ordinance No, 17-90 by deleting the "Engineering Drafting Technician" classification title, and corresponding pay grade, from the "Engineering" categorical grouping within the categorical list- ing of job classifications contained therein and replacing it with the "Draft- ing/Graphics Technician" classification title, and corresponding pay grade, in a new "Drafting/Graphics" categorical grouping to be incorporated within said categorical listing of job classifications, Over the past several months, Staff has determined that this change in classification title and categorical grouping is warranted given the broadening and evolution of the drafting function within the Department of Development, The anticipated implementation of CAD (computer aided design) technology over the next several months within the Development Department will drastically revolutionize the City's method of creating, obtain- ing, and storing all types of graphic materials, The CAD technology will greatly expand the traditional drafting function the City has maintained over the past several years, Section 2. Section 2, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 2. ("WAGE & SALARY STRUCTURE/ADMINISTRATION"), subsection A" of Ordinance No, 17-90 by adding the "Permit Technician" and "Building/Plumbing Inspector (certified)" classification titles, and corresponding pay grades, to the "Building Inspection & Related" categorical grouping incorporated within the categorical listing of job classi- fications contained therein, The "Permit Technician" classification title is being added to allow for the reorganization of some duties & responsibilities within the Division of Building Inspection, The "Building/Plumbing Inspector" classification title is being added to allow for the addition of plumbing inspection duties & responsibilities within the Division of Building Inspection, which are presently performed by Franklin County on a contractual basis, As opposed to budgeting $80,000 annually to cover the cost of contractual plumbing inspections, Staff believes it can hire a qualified, certified "Building/Plumb- ing Inspector" to perform both types of inspections for less than half the budgeted amount previously noted and, in addition, exercise better control over the scheduling and performance of plumbing inspections, Section 3. Section 3, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 2. ("WAGE & SALARY STRUCTURE/ADMINISTRATION"), subsection A, , of Ordinance No, 17-90 by adding the "Chief Radio Dispatcher" classification title, and corresponding pay grade, to the "Police" categorical grouping incorporated within the categorical listing of job classifications contained therein, This classification is being added to allow for the addition of duties & responsibilities within the Division of Police, There is an expressed need for this type of supervisory classification to provide better day-to-day technical guidance and direction, as well as scheduling coordination, within the communication center, Section 4. Section 4, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 2. ("WAGE & SALARY STRUCTURE/ADMINISTRATION"), subsection B" of Ordinance No, 17-90 by adjusting the pay ranges corresponding to the pay grades incorporated in Section 2. ("WAGE & SALARY STRUCTURE/ADMINISTRATION"), subsection A, , of Ordinance 17-90, The proposed ranges listed in Section 4 of Ordinance 107-90 are representative of a 6% adjustment at both the minimum and maximum, Based, in part, on the City's policy of adjusting pay ranges on an annual basis given market conditions and, in part, on the City's philosophical objective of providing range adjustments for non-union personnel which are comparable to that agreed to for union personnel, Staff is proposing a 6% adjustment to the 1990 pay ranges, In Staff's judgement there are two important factors which need to be considered with respect to the proposed range adjustments for 1991: firstly, the national inflation rate for the first 9 months of 1990 was 6,6%; secondly, the automatic adjustment provided for in the labor agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police for 1991 consists of a 6,0% increase, Staff's recommendation for a 6,0% adjustment to the ranges for non-union personnel is based on the consideration of these two factors, Staff believes that the 6% adjustment will continue to keep the City in a very competitive posture, thus aiding in the recruitment and retention of well-qualified personnel, Section 5. Section 5, of Ordinance 107-90 seeks to amend Section 6. ("SICK LEAVE"), sub- section D, , of Ordinance No, 17-90 by deleting the verbiage contained therein and replacing it with the verbiage contained under Section 5, of the attached Ordinance (Ordinance No, 107-90), Section 6, subsection D, is being amended in order to clarify the City's intent with respect to when an employee should not earn sick leave, Under the previous language contained in Section 6, subsection D, of Ordinance 17-90, being on duty or on approved leave was considered as being in "full pay status", Since the City's intent is that only employees on duty or on approved leave with pay should earn sick leave, Staff recommends that Section 6" subsection D" of Ordinance 17-90 be amended accordingly, Section 6. Section 6, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 7. ("VACATION LEAVE") of Ordinance No. 17-90 by deleting subsection G, Subsection G, is being deleted to eliminate a problem recently brought to the attention of the City Manager and Director of Personnel & Purchasing by several Division & Department Heads, Under the previous language contained in subsection G" at no point in time could an employee's vacation balance exceed 160 hours, A considerable number of Department & Division Heads expressed concern about the 160 hour cap in that they found it forced them to either use vacation at inopportune times or lose their vacation accrual for that particular pay period, In recognition that the present vacation cap is somewhat restrictive and that it is not in the best interest of the City to have a Department or Division Head take vacation at an inopportune time, Staff recommends that Section 7" subsection G" of Ordinance No, 17-90 be deleted, It is anticipated by staff that this will provide greater flexibility to Department & Division Heads in scheduling vacation leave, It is important to note, however, that Section 7, subsection F" of Ordinance No, 17-90 still contains the provision restricting an employee from carrying over, from one calendar year to the next, more than 160 hours of vacation leave, This amendment would permit an employee's vacation balance to increase beyond 160 hours between January 1 and December 31 of a calendar year, However, an employee must have his/her vacation balance reduced to 160 hours or less by December 31 of the calendar year or lose the excess, Section 7. Section 7, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 7. ("VACATION LEAVE"), subsection H, , of Ordinance No, 17-90 by adding the verbiage contained in Section 7, of Ordinance No, 107-90 to the existing verbiage contained in Section 7 ("VACATION LEAVE") , subsection H, of Ordinance No, 17-90, Since, as dis- cussed under Section 6, of the "ISSUES" segment of this report, the individual vacation balance of an employee would be permitted to increase beyond 160 hours, Staff is concerned that in such a case, an employee could terminate his/her employment and receive payment for his/her vacation balance, Therefore, Staff recommends that Section 7. ("VACATION LEAVE"), subsection H" of Ordinance No, 17-90 be amended by adding the verbiage which appears in Section 8 of the attached Ordinance (Ordinance No, 107-90), Section 8. Section 8, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 7. ("VACATION LEAVE"), subsection I" of Ordinance No, 17-90 by deleting the verbiage contained therein and replacing it with the verbiage contained under Section 9, of the attached Ordinance (Ordinance No, 107-90), Subsection 1. is being amended in order to clarify the City's intent with respect to which employees are entitled to . double-time pay for being ordered to work when on vacation leave, The previous language under subsection I" of Ordinance No, 17-90 did not distinguish between Exempt and Non-Exempt personnel. Even though it was not clearly stated, the City's intent was that this provision was only applicable to Non-Exempt per- sonnel, since Exempt personnel are paid a salary for performing their duties regardless of when they must attend to said duties, Hence, Staff recommends that Section 7" subsection I" of Ordinance No, 17-90 be amended accordingly, Section 9. Section 9, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 12. ("EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT JOB CLASSIFICATIONS"), subsection B, , of Ordinance NO, 17-90 by deleting the "Engineering Drafting Technician" classification title from the list of lob classifications categorized as Non-Exempt contained therein and replacing it with the "Drafting/Graphics Technician" classification title within said list of job classifications categorized as Non-Exempt, Since the "Engin- eering Drafting Technician" classification title is being deleted, and replaced with the "Drafting/Graphics Technician" classification title, as referenced under Section 1 of the "ISSUES" segment of this report, the "Engineering Drafting Technician" classification title should also be deleted and replaced with the "Drafting/Graphics Technician" classification title in Section 12 ("EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT JOB CLASSIFICATIONS"), subsection B" of Ordinance No, 17-90, Section 10. Section 10, of Ordinance No, 107-90 seeks to amend Section 12. ("EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT JOB CLASSIFICATIONS"), subsection B, , of Ordinance No, 17-90 by adding the "Permit Technician", "Building/Plumbing Inspector (certified)", and "Chief Radio Dispatcher" classification titles to the list of job classifi- cations categorized as Non-Exempt contained therein, Since the aforementioned classification titles are being added, as referenced under Sections 2 and 3 of the "ISSUES" segment of this report, those classification titles should also be added to Section 12. ("EXEMPT AND NON-EXEMPT JOB CLASSIFICATIONS"), subsection B, , of Ordinance No, 17-90, CONCLUSION Based upon the aforementioned reasons, Staff believes that the proposed amend- ments contained within Ordinance No, 107-90 are appropriate, Staff therefore recommends that Ordinance No, 107-90 be adopted,
