Explanation
The Civil Service Commission created the classification of Operational Support Division Administrator following City Council's approval of the Operational Support Division within the Department of Public Utilities. It is recommended that the classification be assigned a Pay Grade 96 ($71,573-$107,349).
It is also recommended that the classification of Crime Laboratory Manager, currently assigned Pay Grade 91, be assigned to Grade 93 ($50,669-$76,003), based on an analysis of relevant market information.
Finally, it is recommended that the classification of Payroll Specialist, currently at Pay Grade 87, be assigned to Grade 88 ($29,702-$44,554). This change is necessary because of the clerical classification series revision which created the new classification of Payroll/Benefits Clerk.
Emergency action is requested in order to complete the creation of the new Division of Operational Support.
