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."
