This is a request to approve the addition of the job series of Systems Analyst, GIS I/II and Systems Analyst Senior, GIS, and the associated salary ranges in the Management, Professional, and Technical Resolution and Appendix A. After reviewing the job description, it has been determined that the duties in the Systems Analyst series differ significantly from the duties of an employee assigned to the specialization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Therefore, the department believes it warrants a separate series of job titles, job descriptions, and job expectations, although the salary ranges will remain consistent respective to the counterpart positions in the System Analyst series. Furthermore, turnover in the Systems Analyst II position for the individual responsible for GIS brought to light the need for a replacement employee with a high level of technical skills in this area of specialty, and the ability to manage projects and supervise others. The department believes that the Systems Analyst Senior, GIS job level is much more representative of the level of work required.

By making these changes there is no alteration in the language in the current Agreement, but will require changes to "Appendix A – Management Job Class and Salary Wage Ranges" as follows: Job Title Addition and Classification of Salary Range Systems Analyst, GIS I Salary: $50,024 - $65,062 Systems Analyst, GIS II Salary: $55,099 - $71,386 Systems Analyst Senior, GIS Salary: $63,794 - $87,277 Attached is the updated Appendix A – Management Job Class and Salary Wage Ranges.
