Casalou, Human Resources Administr or 1 Prepared by: Jeannette Flores, Human Resources Analyst 7 SUBJECT: REVISED CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATIONS FOR LIFEGUARD/ SWIM INSTRUCTOR (PART- TIME), LIFEGUARD (PART- TIME), SWIM INSTRUCTOR (PART -TIME) AND LOCKER ROOM ATTENDANT/ POOL CASHIER (PART- TIME). Recommendation: Approve SUMMARY It is recommended that the City Council approve the revisions to the existing classification specifications of Lifeguard /Swim Instructor (Part-Time) and Locker Room Attendant/Pool Cashier (Part-Time) and the creation of two new job classifications: Lifeguard (Part -Time) and Swim Instructor (Part- Time). BACKGROUND Periodically, classification specifications are revised to insure employees for the City are meeting and performing duties accurately reflected in their job specifications. Staff is recommending relatively minor adjustments to two existing classification specifications presented in this report, Lifeguard /Swim Instructor (Part-Time) and Locker Room Attendant/Pool Cashier (Part- Time). Additionally, staff is proposing the creation of two new job classes: Lifeguard (Part-Time) and Swim Instructor (Part- Time). DISCUSSION Lifequard /Swim Instructor This Lifeguard /Swim Instructor classification is a seasonal position that helps staff the Summer Aquatics Program. A review of the classification specifications was recently conducted and a few duties have changed over the years requiring revisions to the existing job specifications. Additionally, the current classification specification requires applicants to posses' licenses /certifications that reflect both classifications. Mayor and City Council May 17, 2011 Page 2 of 2 Occasionally this creates problems when the staffing need requires only Lifeguard duties or Swim Instructor duties. Therefore, in an effort to provide more flexibility and assist the department in their respective recruitment efforts, staff is proposing the creation of two new class specifications, Lifeguard (Part-time) and Swim Instructor (Part- Time). The salary for the proposed new classifications will be set at a lower range than that of Lifeguard /Swim Instructor. Having separate classification specifications not only provides the department with more flexibility, but also is more equitable to employees performing both functions. By creating separate classifications for each position, staff will have the option to hire candidates who may not posses all required licenses /certifications for the current combined specification. Staff is recommending the salary range for Lifeguard be set at Range PT6 ($8.91/hr to $10.83/hr) and for Swim Instructor at Range PT8 ($9.82/hr to $11.94/hr). The rates will be lower than the Lifeguard /Swim Instructor classification which is currently set at PT10 ($10.83 /hr to $13.16/hr). Locker Room Attendant /Pool Cashier This Locker Room Attendant/Pool Cashier classification is a seasonal position that helps staff the Summer Aquatics Program. A review of the classification specification revealed that minor changes to the classification specification are necessary. The classification specifications of Lifeguard /Swim Instructor (Part-Time) and Locker Room Attendant/Pool Cashier (Part-Time) and the creation of two new job classifications: Lifeguard (Part-Time) and Swim Instructor (Part-Time) were approved by the Human Resources Commission on March 10, 2011. Staff is recommending these changes now so the new classifications can be incorporated into the upcoming aquatics program. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact. These positions will be funded from the same temporary account in the FY 2010 -11 and FY 2011 -12 Operating Budget which is currently funding the hiring of summer aquatic staff. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: Approve the attached classification specifications for Lifeguard /Swim Instructor (Part -Time) and Locker Room Attendant/Pool Cashier and the new classification specifications for Lifeguard (Part -Time) and Swim Instructor (Part- Time).
