inspection and regulatory activities while at the same time building upon the City's "One - Stop Shop" approach to providing services to the business community. In consolidating these two functions into a single operating unit, it was necessary to develop a new organizational structure. DISCUSSION Based on the work performed by Hilton, Farnkopf and Hobson, a noted consulting firm hired to assist the City in evaluating these two program areas, it was determined that it was feasible to consolidate the Hazardous Material job classification series and the Environmental Compliance job classification series into a new environmental protection job class series. Thus it is recommended that the City Council create the following job new job classifications at the following salary levels: Environmental Services Manager - $5508-5783-6073-6376-6695 per month — The incumbent for this management position will have overall program responsibility for the Environmental Services Division and will recommend policies and implement procedures to achieve the division's organizational goals and objectives. The incumbent will be responsible for coordinating program activities with the Alameda County Fire Department and others for fire preplanning activities and will work very closely with the staff of the Development Services Department on environmental issues relating to the development process. Environmental Protection Specialist III - $4609-4938-5199-5469-5762 per month — The incumbent in this non -management position will be responsible for supervising the day- to-day inspection and permitting activities and will perform the more complex inspections that require advanced knowledge and skills. Environmental Protection Specialist II - $4298-4512-4738-4975-5224 per month — The incumbents will be responsible for conducting inspections of facilities to assure compliance with discharge regulations and hazardous material storage. Environmental Protection Specialist I - $3738-3925-4142-4327-4543 per month — This position is designed to be an entry-level position designed to allow incumbents time to acquire the necessary specific knowledge of environmental regulations and unit procedures and prepare them for advancement to the Environmental Protection Specialist II level. It is recommended that the Environmental Services Unit be placed in the Development Services Department. The rational for this is two -fold. First, it is consistent with the City's "One -Stop Shop" customer service approach; second is that the Development Services Department currently manages regulatory programs such as the Building Regulations Division. 2 <, 3
