PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to revise the specification for the classification of Police Technician CTC No. 0646, as shown in the attachments.

BACKGROUND

This specification and title was established January 6, 1998, to provide generalist support in a variety of tasks within the Police Department. As technology in the workplace has evolved, the revisions include an increase in the required typing speed from 20 to 30 words per minute and more detailed descriptions of the clerical functions performed.  The proposed revisions to the specification more accurately describe the actual duties and requirements as performed by this position and will assist the department as it recruits for this technical position.

Representatives of the Management Services Department, the Police Department, and the Burbank City Employees� Association have discussed and agreed upon these revisions.  The Civil Service Board approved these revisions at their regular meeting on July 7, 2004.

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION

The revision to the specification for the classification of Police Technician addresses the evolutionary changes to the position and more clearly reflects the actual duties and requirements for this position.   This classification will continue to be represented by the Burbank City Employees� Association (BCEA), remain in the Civil Service system and be subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act. This position has not and will be not included in the City�s Conflict of Interest Code.

FISCAL IMPACT

There is no fiscal impact as a result of these revisions. 

RECOMMENDATION

Approve the revision of the classification of Police Technician CTC No. 0646 as indicated in the attachments.
