responsible for a position classification plan which shall be a part of
these policies. Copies of this plan and of specifications for individual
classes shall be available in the Personnel Office.
Titles and S.Decifications. The position classification plan shall include
titles and written specifications for the various classes of positions as a
guide toward equal pay for equal work. Job titles shall refer to a
particular position and not to the individual.
Each position shall, on the basis of the duties and responsibilities
of the position, be allocated to an appropriate class.
Each class shall have a specification that includes a concise,
descriptive title, a general description of the duties and
responsibilities of each position in the class, and a statement of
the minimum or the desirable qualifications for each such position.
The position specifications take into consideration the
requirements of the job and are merely descriptive and
explanatory of the work to be performed. They may not
necessarily include all of the duties.
C. Reclassification.
The City Administrator may reclassify a position whenever its
duties change materially, provided the reclassification can be
accomplished within the limitations of the current budget of the
city.
e
Reclassification shall not deprive an employee of, or change the
date of eligibility for, scheduled pay increases which would
otherwise have been granted.

the new class, adjustment will be made to the next highest rate

change in classification or is transferred or reclassified to a class
having the same salary range, the rate of pay shall remain the
same.
