REPORT TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Request to Extend Eligible List for Equipment Operator
Report
BACKGROUND
The current eligible list for Equipment Operator was established on July 7, 2017 and is set to expire on July 7, 2018. Attached is a memorandum from the Water and Sewer Utilities Department requesting that the Equipment Operator eligible list be extended for another six months to January 7, 2019.
DISCUSSION
The Water and Sewer Utilities Department anticipates future openings and would like to be able to quickly fill their positions with candidates from the existing list. Extending the eligible list will allow the Water and Sewer Utilities Department to hire off of the list with 4 qualified candidates while avoiding the expense and time needed to conduct another recruitment.
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 fiscal impact to revising the job specification, examination weighting and recruitment type other than staff time.
