DATE: May 19, 2020
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Tait, Public Works Services Director
By: Carmen Masud, Senior Management Analyst
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7309 AMENDING RESOLTION NO. 7204
ESTABLISHING COMPENSATION AND RELATED BENEFITS FOR
EMPLOYEES REPRESENTED BY THE ARCADIA CITY EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION (SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER)
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
Based on a review of current personnel, workload balance, and overall service delivery,
the Public Works Services Department (“PWSD”) and Development Services Department
(“DSD”) is recommending a new classification specification for Senior Civil Engineer. The
Senior Civil Engineer position will be included as part of a flexible staffing series that
would include the Assistant Engineer and Associate Civil Engineer classifications. The
proposed changes have been agreed to by the Arcadia City Employees Association
(“ACEA”). The Human Resources Commission approved the new classification
specification and the placement of this position as part of the flexible staffing positions on
March 11, 2020.
It is recommended that the City Council approve Resolution No. 7309 amending
Resolution No. 7204, to establish the position of Senior Civil Engineer in the salary range
of 76 within the ACEA salary schedule.
There are currently only two engineering positions in a non-management setting within
the City. This has inhibited growth within the position, and limited the City’s effectiveness
in retaining employees and attracting new employees. The PWSD and DSD would like to
add a new classification specification for Senior Civil Engineer, and include the Assistant
Engineer and Associate Civil Engineer as part of an Engineering Series. The
recommended new classification and series would provide a promotional opportunity for
incumbents who have demonstrated that they can perform advanced journey level work
expected of a Senior-level Engineer. There are engineering positions budgeted in both

the PWSD and DSD. The change further provides opportunities for growth and
development of staff, including opportunities for cross-training and broadening of skills.
DISCUSSION
The Senior Civil Engineer position will be distinguished from the Associate Civil Engineer
and Assistant Engineer by requiring more experience and complex work performance.
Additionally, the Senior Civil Engineer would have more autonomy performing confidential
work while receiving occasional guidance, and would provide direct supervision of
technical and clerical staff.
The salary range for Senior Civil Engineer has been proposed at salary range 76 ($7,516
to $9,386/month). In surveying nearby cities, the proposed salary is in alignment with the
salaries of comparable positions. It should be noted that the proposed staffing plan will
not increase the number of Full-Time Equivalent (“FTE”) employees. Rather, it will create
a flex series that provides opportunities for development of staff, and help to further the
overall goal of retention of staff. The notable differences between an Assistant Engineer,
an Associate Civil Engineer, and a Senior Civil Engineer can be seen in the number of
years of experience required and Professional Engineer Certification registration. The
following flexible staffing series is being recommended as shown in the table below, for
the full text of each position, please see attached specifications:
Position Years of Experience Salary Range
Assistant Engineer
One year of engineering
experience required
66 - $5,871 to $7,334/month
Associate Civil Engineer
Five years of increasingly
responsible experience in
professional civil engineering
required
70 - $6,481 to $8,096/month
Senior Civil Engineer
Five years of increasingly
responsible experience in
professional civil engineering
and/or management
experience in civil
engineering or water
resources including two
years of project management
and/or administrative
responsibility required
76 - $7,516 to $9,386/month

It is increasingly difficult to retain civil engineers in a municipal setting. The added position
will provide incentive for existing employees (as well as new hires) to stay in Arcadia and
grow professionally. If an employee progresses through the new series, they ultimately
would be eligible to move into a management position with the City as a Principal Civil
Engineer. It is anticipated that the Senior Civil Engineer position will provide an effective
bridge between the current positions and management.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”) per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, and it can be seen
with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment. Thus, this matter is exempt
under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
At the highest step, the proposed salary range of the Senior Civil Engineer will be $1,290
higher per month than the Associate Civil Engineer position, which is approximately a
15% increase. The proposed staffing plan will not increase the number of full time
employees, so the amount fiscal impact will be minimal. Sufficient funds are available in
the Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget to implement the changes detailed in the resolution. The
change in the salary range for this position will take effect on July 1, 2020.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this project is exempt under the
California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve Resolution No. 7309
amending Resolution No. 7204 establishing compensation and related benefits for
employees represented by the Arcadia City Employee Association (Senior Civil
Engineer).
