The reclassifications listed above were discussed as part of the 2016 budgeting process and have been included in the approved 2016 City budget. Observations/Alternatives: Observations/Alternatives: Option 41: Reclassify positions as follows: 1) Reclassify the current Accounting Clerk to Senior Accounting Clerk 2) Reclassify the current Accountant I to Accountant II 3) Reclassify one current Public Works Streets Maintenance Worker to Mechanic, and 4) Reclassify the current Civil Engineer 11 to Civil Engineer IV Option 42: Reclassify some, but not all of the following positions Option 43: Do not reclassify the above listed positions. The pros and cons of the above actions are tied to the Strategic Plan. The key reason to reclassify these positions is to more accurately recognize the job functions that these employees are currently performing and to proactively work to retain the City's talent --reducing the risk of turnover costs and loss of institutional knowledge. Funding Source: The 2016 funding required for this action has been accounted for in the approved 2016 budget at approximately $9786 for all four reclassifications. Specific funding requirements are as follows: 1) Reclassify the current Accounting Clerk to Senior Accounting Clerk $1867 2) Reclassify the current Accountant I to Accountant II $1440 3) Reclassify one current Public Works Streets Maintenance Worker to Mechanic $3551 4) Reclassify the current Civil Engineer 11 to Civil Engineer IV $2928 Recommendation: Staff recommends option 41 to: 1) Reclassify the current Accounting Clerk, Jackie Lipski, to Senior Accounting Clerk, at step 6 of the new wage scale, which is $25.65 per hour; 2) Reclassify the current Accountant I, Cindy Nelson, to Accountant II, at step 5 of the new wage scale, which is $30.50 per hour; 3) Reclassify one current Public Works Streets Maintenance Worker, Greg Lind, to Mechanic, at step 5 of the new wage scale, which is $27.01 per hour; 4) Reclassify the current Civil Engineer 11, Len Linton, to Civil Engineer IV, at step 4 of the new wage scale, which is 38.14 per hour.
