RESOLUTION NO. 94-79 AMENDING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Adopt Resolution No. 94-79 amending the Classification Plan of the City of Tustin to
include the non-sworn, non-management position of Lead Communications Officer.
2. Approve compensation of Lead Communications Officer as follows:
Step A $2851
Step B 2994
Step C 3143
Step D 3300
Step E 3465
This additional position in the Police Department is being funded in the 1994-95 budget. Since
this position will most likely be filled from a pool of applicants promoting from the classification
of Communications Officer, it will most likely be filled above A-step. Depending on how soon
after the fisea: year that the position is filled, the cost will be approximately $33,000 to $40,000.
DISCUSSION:
With the addition of two additional Communications Officers which were approved by Council
on May 2, 1994, the total number in this classification will increase to eleven. The Support
Services Supervisor has eight Records Clerks, a Records Shift Coordinator, and three Non-sworn
Investigators besides the Communications Section reporting to her. The Records Section has a
coordinator that helps with the supervision and scheduling and this lead person wilt help with
the Communications Section in the same way.
William A. Huston, Resolution 94-79 Report Page 2
To establish an appropriate salary for this new classification, staff conducted a survey to find
comparable positions within our ten survey cities to determine market median. Internal
alignment was also considered in establishing placement on the salary schedule. The market
median was found to be very close to ten percent above the Communications Officer and this
is consistent with internal alignment practices for this position and Departmemt.
