SUPERVISOR'S COMMENTS:
The existing class specs do not describe the level of responsibility that is needed due to the
garage consolidation. (This refers to a situation where several departrnents, notably Pubiic
Works, Parks, and Water, will use a single garage facility for heavy equipment repair and
maintenance.) This facility will encompass several buildings and some personnel who will be
working slightly differing shifts or alternative work schedules.
CLASS SPECIFICATION COMPARISONS:
Vehicle Mechanic Snpervisor.
This class describes a first level supervisor who has some responsibilities for operations on the
floor. It does not describe a position that manages a workforce through another supervisor. It
does not describe a position that has responsibility for workload planning such as the proposed
position wiil have. This class spec does not describe the responsibilities of the proposed
position.
F,�uipment Maintenance Supervisor.
This class spec also describes a position that has "hands-on" responsibilities for repair of
complex equipment and systems. While the proposed position will be expected to have
sufficient knowiedge to have the respect of the mechanics it will be primarily a supervisory
position. Moreover, the class spec specifically describes grass cutting equipment and similar
�! c.-q��
responsibIlities rather than responsibility for repair of heavy equipment. This ciass spec does
not describe the responsibIlities of the position in question.
E ui ment Services manager.
This class spec describes a position thai works in the Public Safety gazage. While some of the
responsibilities may be similar, the class spec is vague and does not describe supervisory
responsibilities well. This class spec does not describe the responsibilities of the proposed
position.
Municipal Gara,•,e Coordinator.
This class spec describes a position that manages a garage complex ihat serves the entire City
and several departments. The responsibilities include budgeting, responsibility for fleet
management, etc. The proposed position assists with budgeting and has significant input on
scheduling and establishing repair priorities but is not the manager of the facility. This class
spec describes responsibilities greater than those envisioned for the position in question.
Comment:
The proposed class spec describes the responsibilities of the proposed position.
POSITION COMPARISONS:
Vehicle Mechanic Supervisor.
Positions in this class do have relatively more "hands-on" responsibility and relatively less
responsibility for managing the workforce than is envisioned for this class. The positions do
not deal extensively with workload planning and does not nozmaliy participate in changing
repair priorities whereas the proposed position will have those responsibilities. Positions in
this class do not have the same level of responsibility as those proposed for the new position.
Equipment Maintenance Supervisor.
Positions in this class are responsible for some budgeting, specifications and other actions
which are nor proposed for the position in question. Positions assigned to this class do not
have the second level supervisory responsibilities that the proposed position would have.
Fquioment Services mana *�er.
This class spec describes a position that works in the Pubiic Safety garage. The position had to
have special knowledge of pumping systems on fire equipment and other types of knowledge.
These responsibilities are not proposed for the proposed position.
Municipal Gara�e Coordinator.
The positions assigned to this class have management responsibilities for fleet management,
budgeung, and vehicle acquisition that are not contemplated at the moment for the proposed
position.
Comment:
-� The proposed class spec describes the responsibilities of the proposed position.

RECOMMENDATION:
�L�_q��
It is recommended that a new position be established. A proposed class spec is attached.
c�.�_ 9 d` �
Vehicle Mechanic Supervisor II
The City of Saint Paul is making substantive and cost effective changes in the way in which it
manages its fleet services. These changes have added, and will continue to add, significantly to
the supervisors' responsibilities at the Dale Street vehicle maintenance facility. A new
supervisory position that reflects these expanded duties and responsibilities is clearly needed.
We have extended the hours at this facility by creating a shift that works evening hours. We also
have a situation where the maintenance activities at the Dale Street location are in several
different locations. Presently this position does not have the level of responsibility
commensurate with the changes being made.
