REPORT TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Action to Modify Job Specification for Senior Electrical Estimator
Report
ACTION AND AUTHORITY
The Electric Utility Department is requesting to modify the job specification for Senior Electrical Estimator based on the authority of Personnel & Salary Resolution, Sec. 6(d), “Classification specifications for positions in the Classified Service must first be approved and adopted by the City of Santa Clara Civil Service Commission before they may be approved and adopted by the City Council.”
DISCUSSION
The job specification for Senior Electrical Estimator was last revised in September 2007. A job analysis was conducted in December 2018 to identify changes needed to the job specification. The Education and Experience section was updated to include an Associates’ degree and three (3) years of experience which better reflects the needs of the department for the senior level of the Electrical Estimator. The desirable qualifications section was revised to include experience using ESRI-based GIS applications.
There are no recommended changes to the examination weighting for Senior Electrical Estimator. The updated classification has been reviewed by the affected bargaining unit.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action being considered does not constitute a “project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378(b)(5) in that it is a governmental organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect changes in the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional cost to the City other than administrative staff time and expense.
PUBLIC CONTACT
Public contact was made by posting the Civil Service Commission agenda on the City’s official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall Council Chambers. A complete agenda packet is available on the City’s website and in the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to a Regular Meeting and 24 hours prior to a Special Meeting.
