Classification/Compensation Plan February 22, 2005 Page 2 Assistant. The review determined that the incumbents' duties and responsibilities, especially those that pertain to purchasing, budgeting and contract monitoring, are more consistent with the classification Senior Accounting Assistant than her current classification. Accordingly, the Library Director proposes that one Accounting Assistant position be reclassified and reallocated to Senior Accounting Assistant. III. Finance and Management Services The newly appointed Executive Director of Finance and Management Services recently conducted a review of his agency's functions and structure. This analysis, assisted by the Personnel Services Department, included an examination of the duties and responsibilities of various job classifications and an evaluation of workload. As a result of this review, the Executive Director is proposing the creation of a mid-management classification titled Assistant Director of Finance and Management Services. This position will perform responsible administrative and managerial work in planning, organizing and directing the activities of the Finance and Management Services Agency and will act as Executive Director in the incumbent's absence. In order to staff this new job title, the Executive Director requests a budget reallocation, such that the currently vacant position of Accounting Manager is reallocated to Assistant Director of Finance and Management Services. The Executive Director of Finance and Management Services also proposes the creation of a professional classification titled Purchasing Supervisor and the reallocation of one Supervising Buyer position to this new classification. The Purchasing Supervisor will be responsible for not only supervising the City's purchasing functions and coordinating bid processes, but also for overseeing the accounts payables functions of the Purchasing Division. IV. Police Department The Police Chief has conducted a similar review of organizational structure and has identified certain changes that will improve the department's ability to provide services in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. It is proposed that two vacant Communications Services Officer positions be deleted and one Police Services Dispatcher be added to the Department' s budget. These changes will increase the Department's efficiency in responding to calls for service and also result in a net savings to the department's budget. 550-2
