SUBJECT: Classification Plan - Tustin Water Works
The attached sheets show the classifications and salary levels to be used
for the transfer of the Tustin Water Works to City operation. The sheets
show the projected classifications, department assignments, bargaining unit
and maximum salary level as well as the specific assignments by name.
The job descriptions for the new classifications are currently being prepared
by this department based on the information provided by the Water Works staff
and should be completed around mid-December.
The classification plan is designed to allow a smooth transition from the
Water Works payroll to the City payroll reflecting, to the extent possible,
the projected utilization of Water Works staff. There will probably be some
adjustments with the next budget, however, based on actual utilization and
modifications of operating procedures involved with the transfer.
