BACKGROUND In order to reflect the needs and changes in the City Budget for 2000-2001, a study was conducted to better understand the long-term staffing needs of the City. The City is anticipating job openings in various job classifications throughout many departments. Those job classifications needed to be updated, reformatted to the current standard format and then adopted. DISCUSSION The Human Resources Department conducted a detailed review of the Planning and Building Division classification series and determined that it was appropriate to create two new non- management classifications of Planner III and Plan Check Engineer. The Planner III will be an advanced -level classification in the Planning series. Planner III is expected to undertake more difficult and complex assignments in planning and administration of land use controls, recommend policy changes and create procedures as needed. The position will oversee the advance or current planning function of the Planning Division; in addition, will provide technical guidance to support staff. The salary range recommended for the Planner III job classification is $5,420-$5,705-$6,005-$6,321-$6,654 per month. In order to retain consistency in job titles within this occupational group, it is also recommended that the Planner classifications be changed from Assistant City Planner to Planner I and from Associate City Planner to Planner II. The Plan Check Engineer will be an advanced journey -level engineering classification in the Building Division. Plan Check Engineer is expected to undertake substantially difficult, responsible, and technically complex civil or structural engineering duties; review and check plans and specifications involved in submitting a building permit to ensure they meet structural standards and comply with all applicable federal, state and local building regulations. The salary range recommended for the Plan Check Engineer job classification is $5,399-$5,669-$5,953- $6,248-$6,561 per month. In addition, the City Council has already approved the reorganization of the Community Services Department and its split into two new departments to be called the Library Department and Recreation —Human Services Department.
