DISCUSSION The following proposed changes are part of an ongoing effort to ensure that the City's Basic Classification and Compensation Plans reflect current organizational needs and establish market-competitive salary rates with equity among job classifications with comparable responsibilities. I. Proposed Pay Equity Adjustment The Police Technology and Support Administrator is a single position job classification originally created to manage the operations of the Police Department's computer systems and crime analysis unit, as well as provide supervisory oversight of the Communications, Records, and Property and Facilities divisions. Recently, this classification assumed supervisory authority over the Fiscal, Crime Prevention, and Homeland Security functions. As a result of these additional responsibilities, as well as the Police Department's increasing reliance on state-of-the-art computer technology and statistical analysis, the scope and authority of this classification has exceeded its compensation level and the incumbent is underrepresented in the City's salary structure. Therefore, the Police Chief is requesting a 7.5% equity adjustment to appropriately compensate the incumbent and reflect the increased level of responsibility associated 558-1 cs. 383
