DEPARTMENT AIVI? DIVISION: Public Works and Parks. DATE OF STLIDY: STUDY CONDUCTED BY: 3uly 18, 1997 Michael Foley / j, � APPROVAL OF CLASS. Al\D COMP. MGR.: - f�- (Signature) 5UPERVISOR'S COMIVVIBNTS: (Date) The Program Administrator who leads the garage consolidation project and manages the Public Works and Fire and safety Services garages believes that this is a key position in the consolidation af the garages. Supervisors will need °back up" due to the extensive geography of the garage complexes. They will also need backup during ahsences due to vacadon, meetings, other duties, illness, etc. Reinforcing the supervisory responsibilities already described in this position will fill this gap. CLASS SPECIFICATION COMPARISON5: �ehicle Mechanic Lead Worker. This class spec describes the responsibility for lead worker functions "on the line" and in the ahsence of the Supervisor. The description of these responsibilities, however, appears ta be subordinate to the technical work. Suggest that the spec be rewritten to emphasize these duties. yghicle Mechanic Sunervisor I and II. These class specs describe full supervision which is not delegated to the L.ead Worker. The class specs aze compatible and not contradictory. The levels of responsibility aze clear in the proposed revision. c�'1 � ��0 h r pad Work r Clas Snecifications. The other Lead Worker class specifications indicate the same level of supervisory responsibility as this position. This position is on the work floor, assigning new work when one project is finished, deciding who is best suited for what tasks, and advising ar getting advice on handling difficult jobs. These responsibilities are normally associated with work leaders. POSTTION COMPARlSONS: Vehicle Mechanic TPad Worker. Positions assigned to this class have not necessarily been held responsible for the supervisory aspects of a lead worker posiflon. Part of ihis is due to the fact that the class spec has not emphasized thess responsihilides and part of it comes from the leadership styles of previous managers and supervisors. Another aspect of this comes from the fact that the position was rated too low for the lead respottsibiliries. Management now wants to enforce those responsibilities. T'he position should be reevaluated. Vehicle Mechanic Sug�rvisor I and II. Positions assigned to these classes have "fuli" supervisory responsibility and are not limited to lead worker responsibilities. This means that these posiUons have respvnsibility for longer range workload planning, complering performance reviews, and more responsibility for discipline, training, etc. There should be no conflict between these positions. Other Crew L.�aders. Other crew leader positions do have responsibility for maldng new assignments and for te�hnical direction. Q.E.S. EVALUATION AND ANALYSIS: The Q.E.S. analysis supports a pay increase of seventy three (73) cents per hour. RECOM1VfENDATION: It is recommended that the ciass specificadon for this position be revised as on the draft attached and thaY the compensation be increased by seventy three (73) cents per hour. q � - �1�0 Salary Comparisons for Proposed Vehicle Mechanic Lead Worker Bargaining Unit OS District Lodge # 77 - Machinists Equipment Maintenance Present Rate Crrade 08U (460) Vehicle Mechanic L,ead Worker A (1) 18.92 Pro�osed Rate Grade 12U (960) Vehicle Mechnic Lead Worker A (1) 19.65 PROPOSED TITLE OF CLASS: �''� j .

Supervisors must now cover a larger geographic area with several shops and several shifts instead of one. T'his will inc: ease with more consolidation. This action is the result of placing more responsibility on the Leadworker position at the worksite. Currently the Vehicle Mechanic Leadworkers make about 25 cents per hour more than Mechanics. This is an unrealistically small difference in campensation for the added resaoonsibilitv. nnvaxTncc�ss �nrrxovEn: The Leadworker will provide "hands-on" supervision, advice, and assistance on the shop floor and in separate shops; the Supervisors wiU be better able to deal with workload planning and sisnilaz issues. Tlus is a much more rational and a more cost-effective method of supervising these functions. n�sanvnx�racES � nrraovsn: There will be a slight increase in cost to the City for the salaries of these I,eadworker positions but the City will see a savings as vehicle maintenance consolidation proceeds because, with the leadworkers assuming true leadworker responsibility, the City will not have to hire as many people at the higher paying Vehicie Mechanic Supervisor titles. ntsanv,uv�racrs ta xor.�rrxovEn: The daily operations of the shogs will be less efficient than they couid be because appropriate responsibilities to I.eadworkers and additional5upervisors will have to be hired.
