[N[TtarING rxosLEmt,1SSUE, orPOxTUNi'rY (Wno, wnat, when, wnere, wny): Saint Paul Regional Water Services requested that Human
Resources study the composite duries of a position to determine the appropriate compensarion and classificarion. Our of&ce detemilned
that the posirion should be allocated to the existing classification. However, a change in the class title and level of compensarion was
waiianted. The new title for tlus class�cation is Information Services Manager-SPRWS and compensation should be set at grade 25.
This one-grade increase is warranted due to the increased scope of responsibilities associated with this single-incumbent class. Tlus

technology environment of Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS). The position coordinates technology efforts that involve
analyzing and organizing efficient, cost-effective procedures, estabiishing standards and best practices, setting priorities, administering
SPRWS information tecYmology security, and foxmulating goals and objecrives.
ADVANTAGES [F APPROVED: Appropriate compensation will be assigned to the classification in accordance with the City job evaluarion
system

TO: Stephen Schneader, General Manager

FROM: Sheila Williams, Human Resources Consultant
DATE: January 5, 2007
RE: CLASSIFICATION STUDY RESULT
We have completed our study of the Information Services Manager — Water Utility position
held by Christine Meyer. We have reviewed relevant job informarion, interviewed the
incumbent and immediate supervisar, and compared the position with related classes and
positions including IS Manager, Technology Manager, IS Manager-Water Utility and Civil
Engineer IV classifications.
This study indicates that the position is working within the class concept of Information
Services Manager — Water Utility. However, the position is functioning at grade leve125 of
the Saint Paul Supervisors Organization bargaining unit salary schedule. There is an expert
level of competence expected of this position that includes a major role in project
management activities that extend beyond IT functionaliry.
Should you choose to reallocate the position, a resolution must be approved by City Council.
You will then need to initiate a Reallocation Certification and send it through the required
process.
If you choose not to implement this recommendation, you may undertake other measures to
change the assigned compensation level far the position. This may require reshucturing not
only this individual posirion, but other positions within Saint Paul Regional Water Services.
We have notified the incumbent that the study has been completed and directed her to contact
the Deparhnent Director ar the HR Liaison within the next two weeks if there has been no
communication from administration.
If you have any questions or need assistance in this matter, please call me at 266-6520.
