AGENDA TITLE: Approval of New Class Specification and Salary Range for Electrical
Drafting Technician
MEETING DATE: September 4, 1991
PREPARED BY: Personnel Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The the City Council approve the new class specification)
and salary range for Electrical Drafting Technician.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Electric Utility has been experiencing difficulty .in
developing and maintaining its databases, system maps,
schematics, and records. This problem has resulted in
the department being unable to effectively address the
troubleshooting and field crew operations. The major contributing factor to this
problem is the fact that the various demands of the department upon its personnel
inhibit their ability to adequately perform and receive the training necessary for
the functions of constructing databases, mapping and drafting. Given the lack in
the Depart-ment's labor resources, and the increasing use of computers in the
electric utility industry, which are essential to perform these functions, the
department therefore needs a full time position to perform computerized database
construction, mapping and drafting.
Based upon a study of this position which included a job analysis and survey of
other electric utilities, it is recommended the following sal, -,:y range be
established for this position:
Electrical Drafting Technician
A B C D E
$2351.79 $2469.65 $2593.07 $272341 $2859.31
The Electrical Drafting Technician will be placed in the IBEW Electric Utility
bargaining unit.
This position will be filled in lieu of the vacant Electric Utility Supervisor
position.
FUNDING: Budgeted in the Electric Utility Department for Fiscal Year 1991-1992
