A.
There is hereby created a Human Resource Department,
and the Human Resource Program hereby established shall be administered
by a Human Resource Director appointed by the City Manager. The position
of Human Resource Director may be combined with any other position
at the discretion of the City Manager. In addition to the duties set
forth elsewhere in this article, the Human Resource Director shall:
(1)
Advise the Civil Service Board, the City Manager,
and the City Commission on matters of civil service administration
policy, and problems of personnel administration, including the development
of personnel rules, a job classification plan, and a uniform pay plan.
(2)
Administer provisions of this chapter.
(3)
Represent the interests of the public and City employees
in the management of personnel.
B.
The City Commission upon recommendation of the Human
Resource Director and the City Manager may contract with any qualified
person or agency for the performance of such technical services as
may be required in the operation of the personnel program.
The Human Resource Director shall draft, in
consultation with the City Manager and the Civil Service Board, such
rules as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter.
These rules shall be submitted for adoption by resolution of the Civil
Service Board and shall have the force and effect of law. Amendments
to the rules shall be made in accordance with the above procedure.
A copy of such rules shall be filed with the City Clerk.
A.
The Human Resource Director shall make an analysis
of the duties and responsibilities of all positions in the classified
service and shall recommend to the Civil Service Board a job classification
plan. Each position in the classified service shall be assigned to
a job class on the basis of the rank and level of duties and responsibilities
to the end that all positions in the same class shall be sufficiently
alike to permit use of a single descriptive title, the same qualification
requirements, the same test of competence, and the same pay range.
B.
A job class may contain one position or more than
one position. The Human Resource Director shall thereafter allocate
each position to its appropriate class.
C.
The Human Resource Director shall present proposed
revisions of the classification plan to the Civil Service Board from
time to time as changing conditions require. Such revisions may consist
of the addition, abolishment, consolidation, division, or amendment
of existing classifications.
A.
The Human Resource Director under the direction of
the City Manager shall prepare a uniform pay plan and rules for its
administration. The rate or range for each position or class shall
be such as to reflect fairly the differences in duties and responsibilities
and shall be related to compensation for comparable positions in other
places of public and private employment.
B.
Following the approval of the pay plan and rules for
its administration by the City Manager, the Human Resource Director
shall administer the plan in accordance with the rules. The Human
Resource Director shall assign each position to one of the pay ranges
provided in the pay plan.
C.
The pay plan may be amended from time to time as circumstances
require either through adjustment of rates or by reassignment of job
classes to different pay ranges.
The Human Resource Director shall encourage
the improvement of the City service by providing employees with opportunities
for training which need not be limited to training for specific jobs
but may include training for advancement and for general fitness for
public service.
