Background:

The Human Resources Department recommends the following revisions to the civilian Master Classification Listing by adding 15 (fifteen) new job classifications and amending 5 (five) pay grades. We ask Council to approve these changes in the interests of updating our classification and compensation programs to better support departmental operations. No positions will be added as a result of these changes. The RCA is for the purpose of establishing the titles as authorized classifications. Use of these titles in the future for budgeted positions will be subject to separate review.
