Class Soecification/Comoarison Analvsis
Tl�e duties of the provisional Video Produaron Coordinator position were compared to those of the class
specifications and job profiles of positions previwLSly allocated to job ctasses of Video Production
Coordinator, Cable Communicati�s Officer, Plan Review Coordinator, Public Secvice Manager,
Computer Services Manager, and Computer Operations Manager. The comparison also iacluded other
similar class specifications fraa� ofl�er govecnmental jurisdidions such as Senior Audio-V'uual TecLnician,
Principal Audio Technician.
Cable Communications Officer: This classification specificatioa describes professional and
mavageriai work in the adminishation of the City's cable television franchise, cable television
programming, and telecommunications operations, including policy development and
implementati�. It also has direct contact with the Council, Office of the Mayor, and Ramsey
County o,ucials. Primaxy duties of positions previously allocated to the Cable -,..m,�^�:carions
- Officer class level include such duties as, adcninistering the City's cable fiznchise, overseeing video
production staffaad activities, 8IId m�n_�nn BLC�'ddRItII1SfCC1II$ S� fL31IC�IISC IC�CW3�S� BCCCSS
contracts and other cable projects.
Duties of the Cable CommunicaYions Officer class spec and job proSles thai are compazable to tbe
�deo Production Coordinator positioa are: tnanaging and overseeing the scheduling, sudio-visual
suPPort, and video opecaYions of the City conference Center. Tn conhast, tLe provisional positioa
dces not manage citywide issues ielated to the City's overall cable franclsise and

Clsss SpecificationlPosition Comoarisions (cont'd)
vdeo Production Coordinator. This classificatioa specifirdtion descn'bes responsible professional
work in plaaning, developing, and overseeing teart aad video applications for City units and t2�e
municipal cable channel. All ofthe typical daQes ouUined in the Video Production Coordinator job
class specification are compazable to the duries and responsiblities of the provisional position.
However, in contrast, the professional work that is descn'bed by the Video Production Coordinator
class specification is not comparable to ihe supervisory work of Yhe position in question. For
eicample, the class spec does not include administrative supervisory duties that are currentiy being
performed by the position under study. The level of supervisory duties of the V deo Production
Coordinator class aze primarily tecbnicai lead work.
1be supervisory duties and responsibiliries of the position under study compared fivorably with
those of the Safetv Coordinator_ Plan Review Coordinator. Public Service Manaeer.Comnuter
Services Manaeer. Co�uter OQerations Manaeer.
Supervisory and administraYive work that are cromparabie to the position under study are: hiring,
disciplin�, rewarding, discharging and conducting performance:eviews. FIowever, in contrast,
none of these classes adequately describes overseeing the activities of audio-rideo production
personnel as performed by the position under study. Overall, the general duties and responsibility
specified by these class specifications correspond closely with ihose of the position under study.

Class Soecification/Comoarison Analvsis
Tl�e duties of the provisional Video Produaron Coordinator position were compared to those of the class
specifications and job profiles of positions previwLSly allocated to job ctasses of Video Production
Coordinator, Cable Communicati�s Officer, Plan Review Coordinator, Public Secvice Manager,
Computer Services Manager, and Computer Operations Manager. The comparison also iacluded other
similar class specifications fraa� ofl�er govecnmental jurisdidions such as Senior Audio-V'uual TecLnician,
Principal Audio Technician.
Cable Communications Officer: This classification specificatioa describes professional and
mavageriai work in the adminishation of the City's cable television franchise, cable television
programming, and telecommunications operations, including policy development and
implementati�. It also has direct contact with the Council, Office of the Mayor, and Ramsey
County o,ucials. Primaxy duties of positions previously allocated to the Cable -,..m,�^�:carions

production staffaad activities, 8IId m�n_�nn BLC�'ddRItII1SfCC1II$ S� fL31IC�IISC IC�CW3�S� BCCCSS

Duties of the Cable CommunicaYions Officer class spec and job proSles thai are compazable to tbe
�deo Production Coordinator positioa are: tnanaging and overseeing the scheduling, sudio-visual

dces not manage citywide issues ielated to the City's overall cable franclsise and

Clsss SpecificationlPosition Comoarisions (cont'd)
vdeo Production Coordinator. This classificatioa specifirdtion descn'bes responsible professional
work in plaaning, developing, and overseeing teart aad video applications for City units and t2�e
municipal cable channel. All ofthe typical daQes ouUined in the Video Production Coordinator job
class specification are compazable to the duries and responsiblities of the provisional position.
However, in contrast, the professional work that is descn'bed by the Video Production Coordinator
class specification is not comparable to ihe supervisory work of Yhe position in question. For
eicample, the class spec does not include administrative supervisory duties that are currentiy being
performed by the position under study. The level of supervisory duties of the V deo Production
Coordinator class aze primarily tecbnicai lead work.
1be supervisory duties and responsibiliries of the position under study compared fivorably with
those of the Safetv Coordinator_ Plan Review Coordinator. Public Service Manaeer.Comnuter
Services Manaeer. Co�uter OQerations Manaeer.
Supervisory and administraYive work that are cromparabie to the position under study are: hiring,
disciplin�, rewarding, discharging and conducting performance:eviews. FIowever, in contrast,
none of these classes adequately describes overseeing the activities of audio-rideo production
personnel as performed by the position under study. Overall, the general duties and responsibility
specified by these class specifications correspond closely with ihose of the position under study.

Class Soecification/Comoarison Analvsis
Tl�e duties of the provisional Video Produaron Coordinator position were compared to those of the class
specifications and job profiles of positions previwLSly allocated to job ctasses of Video Production
Coordinator, Cable Communicati�s Officer, Plan Review Coordinator, Public Secvice Manager,
Computer Services Manager, and Computer Operations Manager. The comparison also iacluded other
similar class specifications fraa� ofl�er govecnmental jurisdidions such as Senior Audio-V'uual TecLnician,
Principal Audio Technician.
Cable Communications Officer: This classification specificatioa describes professional and
mavageriai work in the adminishation of the City's cable television franchise, cable television
programming, and telecommunications operations, including policy development and
implementati�. It also has direct contact with the Council, Office of the Mayor, and Ramsey
County o,ucials. Primaxy duties of positions previously allocated to the Cable -,..m,�^�:carions

production staffaad activities, 8IId m�n_�nn BLC�'ddRItII1SfCC1II$ S� fL31IC�IISC IC�CW3�S� BCCCSS

Clsss SpecificationlPosition Comoarisions (cont'd)
vdeo Production Coordinator. This classificatioa specifirdtion descn'bes responsible professional
work in plaaning, developing, and overseeing teart aad video applications for City units and t2�e
municipal cable channel. All ofthe typical daQes ouUined in the Video Production Coordinator job
class specification are compazable to the duries and responsiblities of the provisional position.
However, in contrast, the professional work that is descn'bed by the Video Production Coordinator
class specification is not comparable to ihe supervisory work of Yhe position in question. For
eicample, the class spec does not include administrative supervisory duties that are currentiy being
performed by the position under study. The level of supervisory duties of the V deo Production
Coordinator class aze primarily tecbnicai lead work.
1be supervisory duties and responsibiliries of the position under study compared fivorably with
those of the Safetv Coordinator_ Plan Review Coordinator. Public Service Manaeer.Comnuter
Services Manaeer. Co�uter OQerations Manaeer.
Supervisory and administraYive work that are cromparabie to the position under study are: hiring,
disciplin�, rewarding, discharging and conducting performance:eviews. FIowever, in contrast,
none of these classes adequately describes overseeing the activities of audio-rideo production
personnel as performed by the position under study. Overall, the general duties and responsibility
specified by these class specifications correspond closely with ihose of the position under study.
