Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors consider adopting a Resolution to:
a. Amend Personnel Policies and Practices Resolution (PPPR) No. 98-394 Appendices A and B to retitle the classifications of Communications Dispatcher I-II to Emergency Communications Dispatcher I-II;
b. Direct the Human Resources Department to implement the changes in the Advantage Human Resources Management (HRM) system.
SUMMARY:
The Emergency Communications Department requested for the Human Resources Department to conduct a review of the Communication Dispatcher I/II classification titles. The review process determined a retitle of Communication Dispatcher I/II to Emergency Communication Dispatcher I/II was appropriate.
DISCUSSION:
The Emergency Communications Department requested to review and update the Communications Dispatcher I/II classification series in order to modernize the classifications and ensure the classifications accurately reflect the work currently performed by incumbents. As part of the review process, while updating the classification specifications, it was determined that retitling the classifications would more accurately reflect the scope, complexity, and work performed. Additionally, this proposed update will align the entry and journey-level classification titles with the supervisory classes within the series.
