Moore September, 2001 Jim Chermak, Vehicle Maintenance Supervisor APPROVAL OF CLASSIFTCATION AND COMPENSATION MANAGER: � � ��c�� 9- � � - 6 / Signature Date Report Summary b � -��v\ The supervisor of the posirion referenced above disagrees with the previous study recommendation that the position be compensated at Grade leve106 of the Equipment Maintenance Bargaining Unit O5. Specifically, the supervisor contends that additional knowledge and skill in fabricafion and design techniques in welding and operation of welding machinery warrant higher compensation because of the specialized service to Saint Paul's Fire and Police emergency service units. The supervisor also states that effective operation of shop equipment, and mechanical and power vehicle equipment require specialized lrnowledge of techniques in welding design and layout (e.g., metal sheaz, brake and wire feed, mig, rig, etc.) of vehicle safety equipment. For this reason, the supervisor requested a re-evaluarion of the laiowledge and skill requirements for the posirion. Knowiedge and Skill Comparisons The knowledge and skill requirements for the position under study were compazed with classificafion specification requirements for similar skilled mechanical and skilled trade posirions in the City of Saint Paul and the City of Minneapolis. This included Machinist, Welder, and Vehicle Mechanic. The skilled mechanical duties performed by these positions require working knowledge and/or skill of tools, materials, and procedures used in brazing, soldering, cutting and/or welding metal parts; and in repairing, designing, or modifying equipment, and the ability to read and interpret blueprints and rough layouts. Training and certification requirements for these positions include completion of an apprenticeship program or equivalent training; or four yeazs of equivalent experience in the respective fields. Another example is the City of Minneapolis' Fire Equipment Maintenance Worker position that requires warking laiowledge and skill in the use of gas and azc welding equipment and machine lathes. Similazly, the welding duties that aze currently assigned to the posifion under study require a working knowledge of welding design and fabrication techniques in metal, steel, and aluininuxn parts, and considerable skill in operating electric and azc welding machinery. Page Two. Re-evaluation Study Report Mark A. Milbrandt In conirast, knowledge of tools, equipment, procedures, and techniques in vehicle mechanics, and municipal heavy trucks and hea�y equipment is not a requirement for the assigned welding and fabrication duties. Rather, the assigned welding and fabrication duries require knowledge and skill that faz exceed the knowledge level that is described by the classification specification for Fire Equipment Servicer. For e�mpie, the position under study requires considerable knowledge and skill in welding design and fabrication techniques and operation of welding machinery that aze aze critical for successful performance of the assigned duties. Overall, the additional knowledge and skill requirements for the position under study compare most favorably with those described by the Welder classification specification such as working knowledge of tools, materials, and procedures used in welding, joining, and cutting metals, and skill in the repairing, designing, or modifying of equipment, and ability to read and interpret blueprints and rough layouts. Conclusion The knowledge and skill level requirements for the posi6on under study faz exceed those described by the current Fire Equipment Servicer classification specification such as "lrnowledge of operating industrial sewing machines and repairing vehicle upholstery, leather and canvas equipment." Overall, the knowledge and skill that are required to perform the assigned welding duties are not appropriate at the Fire Equipment Servicer classification level. Recommendation Based on re-evaluation of the addifional knowledge and skill requirements for the position and the QES analysis, it is recoxnmended that the position be compensated equivalent to Cnade 07 of the Equipment Maintenance Bazgaiui�g Unit 07U. It is fiirther recommended that a new classification be created that accurately reflects the required knowledge, skills and abilities, and qualification requirements relevant to the assigned welding dufies. o�-�� PROPOSED TITLE OF CLASS: DESCRIP"ITON OF WORK General Statement of Duties: SAF'ETY EOUIPMENT DESIGN AND MAII3TENANCE WORKER Code: 213B BU: OS Effective: 0 \ -\11.1 Performs skilled maintenance work in the repair, redesign, fabrication, or modification of safety equipment, small motorized equipment, other mechanical eqrupment or appendages to heavy equipment or vehicles (such as trucks, vans, trailers, and motorcycles) of the Fire and Police departments.

Specifically, the supervisor contends that additional knowledge and skill in fabricafion and design techniques in welding and operation of welding machinery warrant higher compensation because of the specialized service to Saint Paul's Fire and Police emergency service units. The supervisor also states that effective operation of shop equipment, and mechanical and power vehicle equipment require specialized lrnowledge of techniques in welding design and layout (e.g., metal sheaz, brake and wire feed, mig, rig, etc.) of vehicle safety equipment. For this reason, the supervisor requested a re-evaluarion of the laiowledge and skill requirements for the posirion. Knowiedge and Skill Comparisons The knowledge and skill requirements for the position under study were compazed with classificafion specification requirements for similar skilled mechanical and skilled trade posirions in the City of Saint Paul and the City of Minneapolis. This included Machinist, Welder, and Vehicle Mechanic. The skilled mechanical duties performed by these positions require working knowledge and/or skill of tools, materials, and procedures used in brazing, soldering, cutting and/or welding metal parts; and in repairing, designing, or modifying equipment, and the ability to read and interpret blueprints and rough layouts. Training and certification requirements for these positions include completion of an apprenticeship program or equivalent training; or four yeazs of equivalent experience in the respective fields. Another example is the City of Minneapolis' Fire Equipment Maintenance Worker position that requires warking laiowledge and skill in the use of gas and azc welding equipment and machine lathes. Similazly, the welding duties that aze currently assigned to the posifion under study require a working knowledge of welding design and fabrication techniques in metal, steel, and aluininuxn parts, and considerable skill in operating electric and azc welding machinery. Page Two. Re-evaluation Study Report Mark A. Milbrandt In conirast, knowledge of tools, equipment, procedures, and techniques in vehicle mechanics, and municipal heavy trucks and hea�y equipment is not a requirement for the assigned welding and fabrication duties. Rather, the assigned welding and fabrication duries require knowledge and skill that faz exceed the knowledge level that is described by the classification specification for Fire Equipment Servicer. For e�mpie, the position under study requires considerable knowledge and skill in welding design and fabrication techniques and operation of welding machinery that aze aze critical for successful performance of the assigned duties. Overall, the additional knowledge and skill requirements for the position under study compare most favorably with those described by the Welder classification specification such as working knowledge of tools, materials, and procedures used in welding, joining, and cutting metals, and skill in the repairing, designing, or modifying of equipment, and ability to read and interpret blueprints and rough layouts. Conclusion The knowledge and skill level requirements for the posi6on under study faz exceed those described by the current Fire Equipment Servicer classification specification such as "lrnowledge of operating industrial sewing machines and repairing vehicle upholstery, leather and canvas equipment." Overall, the knowledge and skill that are required to perform the assigned welding duties are not appropriate at the Fire Equipment Servicer classification level. Recommendation Based on re-evaluation of the addifional knowledge and skill requirements for the position and the QES analysis, it is recoxnmended that the position be compensated equivalent to Cnade 07 of the Equipment Maintenance Bazgaiui�g Unit 07U. It is fiirther recommended that a new classification be created that accurately reflects the required knowledge, skills and abilities, and qualification requirements relevant to the assigned welding dufies. o�-�� PROPOSED TITLE OF CLASS: DESCRIP"ITON OF WORK General Statement of Duties: SAF'ETY EOUIPMENT DESIGN AND MAII3TENANCE WORKER Code: 213B BU: OS Effective: 0 \ -\11.1 Performs skilled maintenance work in the repair, redesign, fabrication, or modification of safety equipment, small motorized equipment, other mechanical eqrupment or appendages to heavy equipment or vehicles (such as trucks, vans, trailers, and motorcycles) of the Fire and Police departments.
