<br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br /> <br /> <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />OCTOBER 16, 2006 <br /> <br />TITLE: <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO <br />CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION <br />PLANS AND ANNUAL BUDGET <br /> <br />APPROVED <br /> <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1" Reading <br />o Ordinance on 2"' Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />{Lf/ba. <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />- <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Adopt a resolution that amends the City's Basic Management and Non- <br />Management Classification and Compensation Plans (Resolution Nos. 91-066 <br />and 82-110) and amends the Fiscal Year 2006-07 Annual Budget. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />Proposed Addition of New Part-Time Classification Title <br /> <br />The Santa Ana Police Department recovers up to 1,250 complete or partial <br />fingerprints from crime scenes every week. These fingerprints are <br />evaluated by forensics staff and compared to the fingerprints of known <br />offenders in order to identify criminal suspects. Forensics staff is also <br />responsible for performing these analyses for fingerprints recovered from <br />past, as yet unsolved cases. Because this work requires a sufficient <br />number of highly trained staff, the Police Chief is requesting the <br />creation of a part-time job classification titled Fingerprint Examiner. <br />This classification will supplement full-time staff in evaluating the <br />fingerprints obtained from crime scenes and comparing them to the <br />fingerprints of individuals in a database of known criminals, which will <br />assist in the resolution of criminal investigations. <br /> <br />Proposed Title Change <br /> <br />The Personnel Services Department periodically reviews the duties and <br />responsibili ties of job classifications to ensure that job titles are <br />consistent with the City's classification and compensation plans. As a <br />result of a recent review of positions in the Finance & Management <br />Services Agency, it was determined that the job title of positions that <br />process the City's employee payroll no longer reflects the City's <br />classification titling structure nor the accepted title in the industry. <br />Accordingly, the Executive Director of Finance & Management Services <br />proposes to change the job title Payroll Assistant to Payroll Technician. <br /> <br />550-1 <br />
