RE: CLASSIFICATION STUDY RESULT
We have completed our study of the Information and Control Integrator Technician position
held by Mary Hiber. We have reviewed relevant job information, interviewed the incumbent
and immediate supervisor, and compared the position with related classes and positions
including IS System Support Specialist and Information and Technology Analyst job series.
This study indicates that the position is working within the class concept of Information and
Control Integrator Technician, but at the higher grade leve140 of the AFSCME Technical
bargaining unit salary schedule. The current assignment is salary grade 38.
Many of the responsibilities involve the same categories of work as previously identified for
this single incumbent position. Previously, there was a greater volume of requests to utilize
the new SCADA system which required entry to intermediate level understanding to meet
user needs. Now, there are more specific requests that have inter-linked uses to meet more
complex needs. Most of the assigned duties to maintain, update, and monitor SCADA and
other computerized systems require an advanced level of competence. Some assignments
require an expert level of understanding in arder to implement significant upgrades to the
system while learning organizational needs and working with the external consultant.
This posirion does differ in concept from most Information Services positions. Rather than
identifying how standard computer applications can meet the needs of users, this position
creates methods to meet the special needs of different user units. Therefore, a separate
classification is warranted.
Finally, management has indicated that there will be a continued need for this position to
perform at an advanced level of understanding for future SCADA and automated system
functions.
Should you choose to reallocate the position, you will need to initiate a Reallocation
Certification, and send it through the required process.
An Affirmative Action Equal Oppottunity ADA Employer
If you choose not to implement this recommendation, you may underfake other measures
to keep the position at the cunent level. This may require restructuring of this individual
position and possibly other posirions within Saint Paul Regional Water Services.
We have notified the incumbent that the study has been completed and directed her to
contact the Deparlment Director or HR Liaison within the next two weeks i£there is no
communication from department administration.
If you have any questions or need assistance in this matter, please call me at 266-6520.
