Again,in both cases,the staff in these positions have been working out of their job class in order to meet the public service needs in their respective areas, and both have obtained additional training beyond what is required under their current classification. Notification: As stated,the reclassifications listed above were discussed as part of the 2017 budgeting process and have been included in the 2017 City budget. Neither position requires back filling to replace the original position. Observations/Alternatives: Observations/Alternatives: Option 91: Reclassify both positions as described. Option 92: 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.
