Instructions for the Use and Revision of the
Compensation and Classification Plan
The Compensation and Classification Plan has been coded
and indexed for the purpose of simplifying reference and
revision procedures. The revised coding system assigns
a numeric code to each section, subsection, and paragraph.
Indexes correspond to each major section number for easy
reference. The numbers of the first and last section or
subsection on each page appear in the top right -hand
corner. The first number designates a continuation of
a section or subsection if applicable. Revised pages
will be released through Distribution "B" with
instructions to replace certain pages with revised
copies. Pages may also be added without altering the
overall numerical sequence. Thus, the Compensation and
Classification Plan may be kept up -to -date throughout
the year.

Adoption and Administration of the Position
Classification Plan For All Offices and
Positions in the Classified Service
100 DEFINITION AND ADOPTION OF CLASSIFICATION PLAN
101 Classification of Positions
All positions in the classified service shall be grouped
into classes and each class shall include those positions
sufficiently similar in respect to their duties and
responsibilities so that similar requirements as to trai-
ning, experience, knowledge, skill, personal qualities,
and the same rates of compensation are applicable thereto.
102 Preparation of Content of Class Specification
Class specifications shall be prepared by the Civil Service
Director, reviewed with the City Manager or his designated
representative, and approved by the Civil Service Board,
defining the duties of all positions and the minimum
entrance qualifications for successful performance of such
duties. In addition to the specific qualifications as set
forth in the class specifications, it shall be understood
that all positions require: ability to read, write, speak,
and understand the English language and to follow written
and oral instructions; ability to get along with others;
thoroughness, accuracy, sobriety, integrity, loyalty, and
a record of orderly law- abiding citizenship.
103 Adoption of the Classification Plan
The classes of positions, as set forth in Section 250 of
this article and the specifications for the respective
classes, are hereby adopted and shall constitute the classi-
fication plan on the basis of which all positions in the
classified service shall be classified. All such classi-
fied positions and incumbents thereof shall be subject to
the provisions of Civil Service in accordance with State
law, the City Charter, ordinances and rules and regulations
of the Civil Service Board.
Sect. 150
150/151.5
150 APPLICATION AND INTERPRETATION OF CLASSIFICATION PLAN
151 Allocation of Existing Positions
151.1 The positions in the classified service are hereby
allocated to appropriate classes in accordance with the
schedules attached hereto entitled: "Allocation and
Application of the Classification Plan to Existing Positions."
151.2 Each employee shall be notified of the allocation
of his position, and each employee having satisfactorily
served in a classified position for six months or more is
hereby given civil service status in such position provided
that in the police and fire service no promotions in rank
shall be achieved except in accordance with the rules on
promotions in the Police and Fire Departments.
151.3 Any employee who has not served as provided above
may be certified by the Civil Service Board in his position
after either a qualifying examination or competitive exami-
nation, written or unassembled, as considered appropriate.
The Civil Service Director shall review each case and submit
recommendations to the Civil Service Board on the action to
be taken.
151.4 Any employee who has civil service status and is
occupying a position not in the classified service as
specified in Section 250 of the Article shall retain such
status for purposes of tenure. The title of the position,
however, shall be changed to conform with that title
established by ordinance in the unclassified service and
the salary rate shall be adjusted in accordance with the
salary schedule prescribed for such position provided that
no decrease in salary of the employee shall occur.
151.5 Any employee who has civil service status and is
occupying a position in the classified service at a lower
level than that indicated by his present title, grade, and
salary shall retain such present title, grade, and salary
until such time as a change is made in accordance with the
Civil Service processes prescribed in the rules relative
to promotion, demotion, or transfer.
152/152.3
152 Interpretation of Class Specification
152.1 Purpose and Effect of Class Specifications: Each
class specification outlines the main characteristics and
qualification requirements of positions in the class and
gives examples of specific duties which employees holding
such positions may properly be required to perform. The
class specification is descriptive and explanatory but
not restrictive. The listing of particular examples of
duties does not preclude the assignment of other tasks of
related kind or character or of lesser skills.
152.2 Application of Specifications to Positions: In
determining the class to which a position shall be allo-
cated, the specifications of each class shall be considered
in its entirety and in relation to the specifications of
other classes in the classification plan.
152.3 Statements of Desirable Qualifications: The statement
of minimum qualifications in a class specification is intended
to be used in determining the eligibility of candidates for
admission to competitive examinations, as an aid in the
preparation of such examinations, and for use in determining
the relative value of positions in a class with positions
iin other classes.
Sect. 200
200/203
200 ADMINISTRATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE CLASSIFI-
CATION PLAN
201 Responsibilities of the Civil Service Director
201.1 The Civil Service Director shall be responsible
for administering and maintaining the classification plan.
As directed by the Civil Service Board, the Director shall
make necessary reviews and prepare reports recommending
appropriate actions to assure that the classification plan
is kept current and that any important changes in duties
and responsibilities in any existing position and of new
positions are reflected in the classification plan.
201.2 The Civil Service Director after consultation with
the City Manager, or his designated representative, and
the department officials concerned, shall recommend for the
action of the Civil Service Board the reallocation of any
position from one class to another class whenever a change
in duties and responsibilities of such position make the
class to which the position was previously allocated no
longer applicable. Any proposed reallocation shall be made
with the knowledge of the employee concerned.
202 Changes Requiring Approval of the City Council
The approval of the City Council shall be obtained through
the City Manager on any action affecting the pay of
employees or other matters included in the City Compensa-
tion Ordinance which are not within the powers and authority
of the Civil Service Board as prescribed by the Charter or
State law.
203 Employee Requests for Classification Adjustments
Any employee shall have the right to consideration by the
Civil Service Board of any request that he may have with
respect to a change in the classification of his position.
The employee shall make his request initially to the head
of his department who shall promptly seek to arrive at a
solution which is consistent with the classification plan
and acceptable to the employee. When the department head
is unable to resolve such a request in a manner that the
employee is willing to accept in writing, the matter shall
then be submitted to the Civil Service Board through the
Civil Service Director for such action as they may deem
appropriate. The City Manager shall be advised of all
such requests and actions taken by the Board.
Sect. 250
i
250/250.4
250 CLASSIFICATION PLAN FOR ALL POSITIONS IN THE
CLASSIFIED SERVICE
250.1 The classified service shall consist of the classes
of positions listed at the end of this section, with such
changes as may be made from time to time by amendment of
this Article. The class grade is established for each class
of positions to indicate the level for compensation purposes.
. 250.2 In cases where all positions of a class have a normal
work week of more or less than 40 hours the work week is
specifically indicated next to the class title and the grade
reflects consideration of the longer or shorter work week
as the case may be.
250.3 In all cases of Grade 23 or above, grades are
established in consideration of the scope and responsibilities
of the positions alone and not on any fixed hours or work
to be required. In such executive, administrative, and
professional positions no fixed or normal work week is
established and no adjustment of salary is provided for in
the compensation ordinance by reason of variations in the
hours of work.
250.4 In case of a position of a class with a work week
differing substantially from that indicated herein for the
class, special compensation adjustments therefore are pro-
vided in the compensation ordinance. In accordance with
the City Charter and State law, the range of pay for each
class grade shall be fixed and applied equally to all posi-
tions in that grade; provided that in certain cases where
specialist duties are assigned, the compensation ordinance
provides for additional compensation to employees with such
assigned duties.

550 ADMINISTRATION OF THE COMPENSATION PLAN
551 Entrance Salary Rates
551.1 Starting Rate on Initial Employment. On original
appointment to any position classified in Salary Grades
4 through 24, the salary shall be by successive steps.
The City Manager may approve initial compensation for
positions in Salary Grades 4 through 24 at the B or C
step in the appropriate salary grade, when the experi-
ence, skill, training, or labor market conditions
justify the action. The City Manager may approve
initial compensation in Salary Grade 25 through 43 at
the B, C, D, E, or F step in the appropriate salary
grade when exceptional experience, training, or labor
market conditions justify the action.
551.2 Starting Rate on Return to Duty. Employees
other than Fire and Police personnel returning to duty
in the same class of positions after a separation from
the City service of not more than one year, which sepa-
ration was without prejudice to the employees, may, at
the discretion of the City Manager, receive the rate in
the salary schedule corresponding to the step rate
received at the time of separation and shall subsequently
be paid such rate for at least such period as is normally
required for advancement to the next higher salary rate.
Fire and Police personnel after reappointment as Fire-
fighter or Patrolman, respectively, returning to duty
with a separation from the City service, which separation
was without prejudice to the employee, may, at the dis-
cretion of the City Manager, receive recognition for
prior experience and training by being placed in a lon-
gevity pay step for Patrolman or Firefighter corresponding
with actual prior service with the City as Patrolman or
Firefighter in the same division; but in no case shall
prior training and experience be recognized in a step
greater than the actual prior service with the City in
the same division shall justify.
551.3/551.5
551.3 Starting Rate on Return from Military Service.
Any employee who leaves or has left the City service to
enter the active service of the armed forces of the United ,
States and who subsequently is reinstated to a position
previously held by him shall be entitled to receive a
salary at the step rate to which he would have been
entitled had his service with the City not been interrupted
by service in the armed forces, assuming his manner of
performance to be that evidenced prior to his military
service.
551.4 Starting Rate in New Position. Whenever an
employee is assigned to duty in a position of a dif-
ferent class not previously held by him and such change
is not in the nature of a promotion, he shall receive
the entrance rate in the salary scnedule established for
the class or such other rate within the applicable
salary schedule as he may be entitled to by reason of
crediting him in his new position with such prior ser-
vice that is found to meet the following conditions:
The character and nature of the duties of the position
to which the employee was assigned are similar to those
of the new position; the service in the former position
provided experience which is valuable to the performance
of the duties of the new position.
551.5 Rate of Pay on Promotion. In any case where an
einployee is promoted to a position of class with a
higher salary schedule, the entrance salary rate
shall be at the lowest step in the higher salary sche-
dule that will provide an increase over the salary
received immediately prior to such promotion. Subse-
quent advancement to higher steps in grade will be on
the same basis as described in paragraph 552.

the City Manager at his discretion and after receiving
the recommendation of the department supervisor, may advance
such an employee not more than two steps in addition to
the steps resulting from the application of other sections
of this compensation plan, but in no case can such advance-
ments exceed the step the employee would have been in had
his total service been continuous. This discretionary
authority shall continue to be available to the City Manager
until the individual's step in grade reflects full credit
for prior service.
552.10 Notwithstanding any other section of this ordinance,
advancement beyond the "D" step for the positions of Chief
of Fire, Chief of Police, Assistant Police Chief, Police
Commander, First Assistant Fire Chief, and Assistant Fire

grade as provided in the salary schedule adopted May 12,

for the next higher step after initial adjustment, then
he or she shall be advanced to the next step after twelve
months of service in position. All subsequent longevity
increases shall required one additional year of service
unless otherwise granted in conformity with the
requirements of paragraph 552.7.
