The meeting was called to order at 7:11 p.m. in the Police Training Room.
1. Water/Sewer Maintenance Worker Minimum Qualifications Chanqe
In response to a lack of qualified applicants and to make it an entry level position, Ms. Wagener
proposed changes to the Water and Sewer Maintenance Worker qualifications including reducing
experience from 2 years to 6 months. This is similar to the change to the Street and Storm Maintenance
Worker minimum qualifications which resulted in a much higher pass percentage for candidates. The
union approved the change but did not approve a pay decrease. Discussion followed regarding training
and oversight of an entry level position.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda
2. Deputy City Clerk Position (reclassification)
Mr. Passey explained the Clerk's Office and HR Department recently evaluated the Deputy City Clerk
position and based on market comparators, recommend a reclassification of the position from pay grade
NE-9 to NE-11. The cost of the reclassification is approximately $389/month or $4,668/year not
including benefits. He identified minor changes to update the job description. The reclassification would
move the position from NE-9 Step 5 to NE-11 Step 4, a 5% increase. He identified minor amendments
to the job description. The union approved the reclassification and the changes to the job description.
Mr. Passey responded to questions regarding the current Deputy Clerk's education, timing of the next
step increase, and increase in benefit costs.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda
The meeting was adjourned at 7:24 p.m
