Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The City was approved to proceed with a Citywide Classification and Compensation Study (Study) in Fiscal Year 2019/20 as a multi-year project. The Western Council of Engineers classification specifications (Rep Unit 11) are being revised as part of the Study. The purpose of the updates is to enhance inclusivity, eliminate gender-specific language, and remove artificial barriers to entry and advancement. The revisions also modernize and clarify job duties, responsibilities, and minimum qualification requirements, including alternative qualification pathways. Collectively, these changes are intended to improve access to employment and promotional opportunities while providing greater consistency across the City’s classification specifications.
