BACKGROUND:
As part of the City's ongoing process of maintaining its position classification plan, staff reviews job
descriptions and/or salary grades to ensure that position specifications and compensation are aligned with
current demands and comparable with similar classifications within the public sector labor market.
Staff is proposing to revise the Management Analyst I/II job description to be consistent with other
standardized class specifications. There are not any significant proposed changes to the duties for the position;
however, the minimum requirements have been updated to reflect the combination of education and experience
to provide a wider range of flexibility when screening applications. This would provide a larger pool of
qualified applicants an opportunity to be considered. No salary range adjustment will be made. The changes
are reflected in red in Attachment No. 2.
These items were reviewed and approved by the West Covina Middle Management Employees' Association,
Bargaining Unit Representative.
The Human Resources Commission approved the proposed revised Management Analyst I/II job description
on August 18, 2021.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the resolution and approved it as to form.
OPTIONS:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve the Human Resources Commission's recommendation; or
