The completed job description forms were reviewed by employees' supervisors and department heads. After the job description forms were reviewed by the survey director, each of the five incumbents was interviewed to supplement our understanding of the assigned duties and responsibilities. The vacant position in the Public Works Department was discussed with the Director of Public Works. Further discussions were also held with supervisors, the Assistant City Manager, and the Administrative Assistant. The positions were then allocated to classes on the basis of assigned duties and responsibilities and existing class concepts as described in the City's present classification plan. Salary recommendations were then made for the six positions. These recom- mendations were made on the basis of present salary range assignments for those positions allocated to existing classes; and, for those positions allocated to new classes, on the basis of internal salary relationships. COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON POSITIONS REFERRED FOR REVIEW Mr. Dale F. Edens Present Class and Salary Range: Maintenance Man 11 (:481-584), Proposed Class and Salary Range: Apprentice Electrical Technician ($598-693), Mr. Edens' present duties include calibrating and testing protective relays, and learning and performing repair work on substation circuits, alarm and telemetering systems, control boards, electrical components of pumping equip- ment, traffic signal control systems, and street lights. In our opinion, these duties and responsibilities represent a higher level than those assigned incumbents in the Maintenance Man II class. We thus recc<nd allocating this position to the new class of Apprentice Electrical Technician. We recommend assigning this new class to salary range 21 ($598-693), The City's present Apprentice Lineman class is also assigned to salary range 21, The journeyman level Electric Meter Repairman -Inspector and Lineman classes are both assigned to the same salary range. Assigning the new Apprentice Electrical Technician class to salary range 21 will maintain this equality at the apprentice level. Mr. Emery Holloway Present Class and Salary Range: Meter Reader -Collector ($493-598), Proposed Class and Salary Range: Accounts Collector ($517-628). Mr. Holloway's present assigned duties include visiting private citizens and businesses to arrange for payment of delinquent utility accounts, connecting -2- and disconnecting electrical service, compiling monthly utility statements, and contacting owners of businesses in regard to delinquent business licenses. In our opinion. the duties and responsibilities currently assigned this position are no longer appropriately allocated to the Meter Reader -Collector class. The primary responsibility assigned incumbents in that class is the periodic reading of utility meters. We thus recommend allocating 4�r. Holloway's position to the new Accounts Collector class. We recommend assigning the new Accounts Collector class to salary range 19 ($517-628). This represents a 5% salary differential over the Meter Reader - Collector class; a differential which we believe to be appropriate in the light of differences in assigned duties and responsibilities. In making this recommendation, salary information for classes essentially comparable to both of these was gathered from cities and public utility companies in the northern part of the State. Messrs. Charles Loftus and Edward Mu Ller Present Class and Salary Range: Maintenance Man Il ($481-584). Proposed Class and Salary Range: Line Truck Driver ($517-628). These two employees are responsible for driving line trucks to deliver men and equipment to work areas, and to place utility poles, lines, and trans- formers. We believe the specialized and potentially hazardous aspects of these positions represent a higher level of skill and responsibility than that associated with other Maintenance Man II positions in the City. r'e are thus recommending allocating these two positions to the new Line Truck Driver class. We do not recommend the new class be used as both a "training level" and "working level" class. We recommend positions receiving training in the operation of line trucks and related hydraulic equipment be allocated to the Maintenance Man II class until such training has been completed. For salary setting purposes, the survey staff reviewed the present salary rangt assignments of public works and utilities maintenance classes having duties involving the operation of motorized equipment, On the basis of existing salary relationships among these classes, we recommend assigning the new Line Truck Driver class to salary range 19 ($517-628). Salary range 19 is between the ranges to which the classes of Maintenance Man II and III are presently assigned, and is the same range to which the Street Sweeper Operator class is presently assigned. Mr. Jerry Storck Present Class and Salary Range: Maintenance Man I ($436-530). Proposed Class and ;clary Hange: Maintenance Man II This position is located at the Sanitary Landfill. Yr. Storck directs the public to appropriate dump sites, receives and receipts for necessary fees, operates a tractor in moving rubbish, and operates a bulldozer on a relief basis. 5910 In our opinion, these duties and responsibilities represent a higher level of skill than those assigned other positions in the Maintenance Man I class, W thus recommend reallocating Mr. Storck's position to the Maintenance Man IT class. Vacant Position in the Public Works Department Proposed Class and Salary Range: Maintenance Man II ($481-5810. A vacancy presently exists in one of the maintenance crews of the Street Division of the Public Works Department. On the basis of the survey director's discussion with the Director of Public Works, we have learned that the contemplated duties and responsibilities to be assigned the position will include the regular operation of rollers and tractors. W recommend positions responsible for the operation of light motorized equipment on a relief or training basis be allocated to the Maintenance Man I class. Those positions responsible for the operation of rollers and tractors on a regular assigned basis (as is the case with this position) should be allocated to the Maintenance Mm II class. C01`,CLUSION It has been a pleasure assisting the City of Lodi in the maintenance of its classification and salary plan. W wish to take this opportunity to thank the City's employees and administrative officials for their cooperation and assistance in this review.
