Title
Resolution Amending The Pay Classification Plan Within Departments Under The Leisure Services Umbrella
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
This resolution addresses necessary updates to the classification and compensation structure within departments operating under the Leisure Services umbrella. These amendments reflect expanded duties, organizational realignment, and the need to ensure appropriate classification, compensation, and compliance with Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) designations.
1. Within the Library, the Head of Cultural & Heritage Collections position has undergone a significant expansion in scope. The role now encompasses management and public access to the City’s full archival system, consolidating resources previously housed across multiple locations. To accurately reflect these responsibilities, a title reclassification to Archivist/Head of Cultural & Heritage Collections and a corresponding pay grade adjustment is warranted from a Grade 130 to 140.
2. Within the Parks and Recreation Department, operational needs and actual job duties performed necessitate reclassification of one Parks Maintenance Worker I (Grade 50) position to Parks Maintenance Worker II (Grade 70) to ensure alignment between assigned duties and classification.
3. Within the Nature Parks Department, the Event Program Manager position has evolved into a supervisory and operational leadership role. The position now includes full-time employee supervision, event execution oversight, and comprehensive program management responsibilities. As such, the position should be reclassified from a non-exempt to exempt status with a corresponding grade adjustment from 100 to 130.
Personnel expenses associated with these changes will be closely monitored. Should adjustments be required, Human Resources will coordinate the transfer of budgeted funds.
