SUBJECT: Equipment Operator I Posting
DATE: October 4, 2016 j
Introduction
The purpose of this memorandum is to request the posting of an Equipment Operator I
position to replace the current open Maintenance Worker position.
Discussion
In an ongoing effort to align position classification titles and civil service tests with actual
work responsibilities, the Public Works Department in the past has eliminated posting
the Maintenance Worker position and has posted the Operator I position in its place.
Currently, civil service test questions for the position of Maintenance Worker tend to be
based more on work generally performed by employees assigned to park maintenance
while test questions for the Operator I position are based more on work done by
employees assigned to duties related to maintaining the infrastructure and the Public
Works Department. This change will have no budget impact since both positions are at
salary grade GD-06.
