Exhibit 1, Unit 1, Non-Supervisory Blue Collar (Local 39)
• Add the new classification of Park Equipment Mechanic I and the respective monthly salary step plan range of Step A - Step E: $3,715 - $4,515. This classification will be flexibly staffed with Park Equipment Mechanic II as a series. One (1) incumbent is impacted with no change in salary.

Existing MOUs for the FCEA and CFPEA bargaining units include a 3% salary increase effective June 19, 2023, previously budgeted for FY24 for each respective classification.
To implement these actions, it is necessary to approve the Thirteenth Amendment to FY 2023 Salary Resolution No. 2022-152.
BACKGROUND
New Park Equipment Mechanic classification
At the request of Local 39, Personnel Services initiated a classification review of one (1) Equipment Service Worker (ESW) I position in the Department of Public Works. In reviewing the duties and responsibilities of this classification, it was determined that this position was responsible for performing duties focused in minor maintenance, repair and service of parks and grounds maintenance equipment which is consistent with the Park Equipment Mechanic classification.
As a result, it is recommended to amend Exhibit 1, Unit 1, Non-Supervisory Blue Collar (Local 39) to establish the entry-level classification of Park Equipment Mechanic I and the respective monthly salary step plan range of Step A - Step E: $3,715 - $4,515 and flexibly staff this classification with the Park Equipment Mechanic II level as a series. This flexibly-staffed series requires one year of satisfactory service before an employee can “flex” to the journey level. The addition of this classification will impact one (1) incumbent by reclassification to the Park Equipment Mechanic I level with no change in salary.
New Airports Credentialing Technician and Airports Credentialing Supervisor classification
Personnel Services initiated a review of incumbents within the Airports Badging Office which consisted of one (1) Senior Secretary and three (3) Radio Dispatchers. The classification study identified that the Senior Secretary and Radio Dispatcher incumbents in the badging office are primarily focused in ensuring Transportation Security Agency (TSA) requirements are followed for badge and security access affecting Airports staff and vendors. Additionally, the Senior Secretary has been leading the three (3) Radio Dispatchers performing these duties and completing the most complex work. These duties are inconsistent with the Senior Secretary and Radio Dispatcher job specifications and reclassification is recommended as follows:
• Add the new classification of Airports Credentialing Technician and provide a monthly salary step plan range of Step A - Step E: $3,780 - $4,540. This classification will be allocated to Unit 3, Non-Supervisory White Collar (FCEA).
o Three (3) Radio Dispatcher incumbents in the Airports Badging Office will be reclassified upwards to Airports Credentialing Technician.
• Add the new classification of Airports Credentialing Supervisor and provide a monthly salary step plan range of Step A - Step E: $5,527 - $6,693. This classification will be allocated to Unit 13 - Exempt Supervisory and Professional (CFPEA) due to supervisory responsibilities over badging office staff.
o One (1) Senior Secretary incumbent in the Airports Badging Office will be reclassified upward to the new classification of Airports Credentialing Supervisor.
Existing MOUs for the FCEA and CFPEA bargaining units include a 3% salary increase effective June 19, 2023 previously budgeted for FY24 for each respective classification with updated salaries included in the Salary Tables attachment.
The City provided notice to the respective bargaining units regarding the new classification of Park Equipment Mechanic I, Airports Credentialing Technician and Airports Credentialing Supervisor and has concluded its meet and confer obligation.
The City Attorney’s Office has approved the Thirteenth Amendment to Salary Resolution No. 2022-152 as to form.
