Agenda Item Brief: The Community Services Director and Human Resources are recommending to reclassify the existing position of Environmental Control Technician to Environmental Control Officer I/II in the Environmental Division of the Community Services Department at the Truckee Meadows Water Reclamation Facility (TMWRF) ; and make the appropriate personnel complement change to include reclassifying the employee who hold the current Environmental Control Technician to the position of Environmental Control Officer I/II.

Background: Background / Analysis As with other city functions, the Environmental Control Division has experienced major personnel changes in the past two years, due to budget cuts. Personnel complement positions were reduced from six (Environmental Control Supervisor, 3-Environmental Control Officer I/II, 2-Envronmental Control Technician) to four (Environmental Control Supervisor, 2-Environmental Control Officer I/II, 1-Envronmental Control Technician) in fiscal year 2010. Because of the staff cut backs, over these past two years the Environmental Control Technician, has been given more responsibilities and duties that are consistent with the Environmental Control Officer I/II position; working out of his current classification. Job Classifications and Salary Wage Ranges: Proposed Classification: Old Classification: Title: Environmental Control Officer I/II Title: Environmental Control Technician Pay Steps: 165.0 – 200.0 Pay Steps: 155.0 – 180.0 Pay Range: $43,441 - $61,078 Pay Range: $39,431 - $50,257 Contract: OE Contract: OE Personnel Complement: Staff is recommending changing the current personnel complement by reclassifying the current position of Environmental Control Technician to an Environmental Control Officer I/II. With this change the current Environmental Control Technician, will be reclassified an Environmental Control Officer I/II. This complement change to the Environmental Division’s personnel complement will result with no additional count to the number of positions within the office.
