Explanation
The Civil Service Commission revised the classifications of Communications Division Administrator and Assistant Administrator following the consolidation of the Division of Communications, Weights and Measures and License Sections of the Department of Public Safety. The new classifications are titled Support Services Division Administrator and Assistant Administrator. There is no recommended change to the assigned pay grades.
Ordinance No. 2528-2003, passed on December 15, 2003, amended Section 15(A) of the Management Compensation Plan (MCP) to provide consistent language between the MCP, AFSCME and CMAGE contracts relative to payment. The intent was for the amendment not to alter the benefit level available to employees covered by the MCP. However, the amendment did indeed change the benefit level. This ordinance returns the language to what it was prior to the passage of Ordinance 2528-2003.
Emergency action is requested in order to provide restitution to those employees who may have been adversely affected by the change to Section 15(A).
