We have reviewed relevant job information, interviewed the supervisor, and discussed the positions with the Section Manager. The analysis included a review of classification specifications and job profiles allocated to the Environmental Resource Specialist and Environmental Coordinator classifications. This study indicates that the positions aze working at a technical level requiring creation of a new classification, Environmental Resource Technician, grade 26 of the AFSCME Technical bargaining unit salary schedule. Current expectations require the positions to assist with arganizing, impiementing and planning environmental and nahual resource projects and programs. There is not an expectation for independently handling the professional aspects of prograxns, pro}ects, reports and presentations. Reclassification of the positions requires campletion of the waiver approval process involving a financaal review by the Director of Financial Services, approval of the Deputy Mayor, and approval of a new salary grade assignment by the City Council. The waiver and a requisition are then submitted to Human Resources. If you choose not to implement this recommendation, you may undertake measures to keep the positions at the Environxnental Resource Specialist level. This may require restructuring not only these positions, but other positions within Parks and Recreation. If you have any questions or need assistance in this matter, please call me at 266-6520. cc: Richard Lallier G'ISharedlOrg.DesagnlCarssullon6Wdli¢msiSheil¢'sC�ars WorklEnvResourceTechSpeq StudylEnvResTech�etzrm-2JObs, P&R.wpd � The City of Saint Paul Class Specification � (��r Proposed Title of Class: ENVIRONMENTAL RESOT7RCE TECHNICIAN CODE: 275B BU: 06 Effective: DESCRIPTION OF WORK General Statement of Dufies: Performs, under direction, responsible natural resource and environmental work involving organizing, implementing, and assisting with planning of environmental and nahual resource projects and programs; assists with liaison, education, fmancial, and reporting activities; and performs related duties as required.
