Title
Action to Extend Eligible List for Assistant Electric Utility Engineer
Report
ACTION AND AUTHORITY
The Electric Utility Department is requesting to extend the eligible list for Assistant Electric Utility Engineer based on the authority of Civil Service Rules, Sec. 4.3, which provides that “the eligible list may be extended to two (2) years with approval of the Commission.”
DISCUSSION
The current eligible list for Assistant Electric Utility Engineer was established on September 5, 2017 and is set to expire on September 5, 2018. The Electric Utility Department anticipates future openings and would like to fill the vacancies quickly with candidates from the existing list. Extending the eligible list will allow the Electric Utility Department to hire off of the list with ten (10) 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 extending the eligible list other than staff time.
