Adopt a Resolution amending the City's classification and compensation plan to create one <br />part-time job classification in the Public Works Agency. <br />2. Amend the City's Fiscal Year 2020-21 Annual Budget to reallocate two vacant, full-time <br />positions in the Public Works Agency to different job classification titles. <br />3. Amend the City's Fiscal Year 2020-21 Annual Budget to enhance the Police Department <br />budget by one position. <br />DISCUSSION <br />For many years, the Public Works Agency has used Engineering Interns to perform para- <br />professional engineering duties including data management, field surveys, CAD work, and <br />responding to citizen inquiries. These interns provide useful assistance to the City while they <br />pursue their formal education in engineering, and their intern assignments generally conclude when <br />they graduate with their bachelor's degree. These interns provide useful assistance to the City <br />while they pursue their formal education in engineering, and their intern assignments generally <br />conclude when they graduate with their bachelor's degree. The Public Works Agency would benefit <br />from the continued service of these employees but an internship is no longer relevant or appropriate <br />after the incumbents finish their education. Therefore, the Executive Director of Public Works is <br />proposing the creation of a part-time job classification titled Engineering Apprentice to convert the <br />status of these employees from interns to part-time employees, as well as provide an opportunity <br />for others who have completed formal engineering education and are interested in part-time <br />employment. Approval of this new job classification will provide a more appropriate category of <br />employment for personnel performing entry-level engineering duties on a part-time basis and will <br />assist the department in meeting organizational needs in a cost-effective manner. <br />55B-1 <br />
