The Classification Plan provides an inventory of positions in
the City service and a description and specification for each class
of employment. This standardization is indicative of a range of duties
and responsibilities that have the same meaning throughout the Classification
Plan.
The Classification Plan shall contain the following information
pertaining to classes of positions:
A. Grouping and classes of positions which are approximately equal in
difficulty and responsibility, which call for the same general qualifications
and which can be equitably compensated within the same range of pay
under similar working conditions.
B. Class titles, descriptive of the work of the class, which identify
the class.
C. Written specifications for each class of positions.
D. An allocation list showing the class titles of each position in the
classified service as identified by name of the incumbent.
The specifications are to be interpreted in their entirety and
in relation to others in the Classification Plan. Specifications are
deemed to be descriptive and explanatory of the kind of work performed
and not necessarily inclusive of all duties performed.
The class titles set forth in the Classification Plan shall
be the official titles designating the several classes and shall be
used to designate such positions in all office records, vouchers,
payroll and communications concerning personnel. No person shall be
appointed to or employed in a position in the classified service under
a class title which has not been approved by the City Manager as appropriate
to the duties performed.
