Budget includes funding for a systematic review of AQMD positions and classifications.
The recommendations here continue the series of recommendations that are anticipated to result from that review. As was noted to the Board at that time, while the bargaining unit representative, Teamsters Local 911, agreed with the six recommended reclassifications that the Board approved, the union requested further review of several positions Comp Plus had recommended for reclassification. The study involved review of incumbents' written descriptions of duties and responsibilities, as well as personal interviews with representative incumbents, supervisors, and management staff. Classification specifications and organizational data relevant to the classifications were also reviewed. With respect to the Senior Office Assistant position, assigned to Science and Technology Advancement, both the original study and the later review indicated the position has significant responsibility for budget preparation and development and for monitoring expenditures.
