EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In order to implement the addition of two full time Background Investigator positions the classification is being removed from Exhibit 8 and added to Exhibit 2. In addition, the Parking Controller series of classifications is being retitled to Parking Enforcement. To implement these actions, it is necessary to approve the Sixth Amendment to FY 2020 Salary Resolution No. 2019-135. BACKGROUND The classification of Background Investigator is currently a temporary class assigned to Exhibit 8. The Police Department has historically employed temporary Background Investigators to perform in-depth background investigations of prospective FPD employees, sex offenders and arson offenders. On January 30, 2020, Council approved the Sixth Amendment to Position Authorization Resolution No. 2019-134, adding two permanent full-time Background Investigator positions due to the ongoing need for this work in the department and to comply with City Charter Section 1000 (2) which states, "positions in any class or grade created for special or temporary purposes for a period of no longer than one year within any two consecutive fiscal years." The Background Investigator classification will be removed from Exhibit 8 and added to Exhibit 2 and will be assigned to the E15 salary range. The Parking Controller class series in Exhibit 3 will be retitled to Parking Enforcement Officer. The new titles are consistent with peer cities and the term 'enforcement' is commonly recognized in the parking enforcement field. Current incumbents in the job classifications of Parking Controller I, Parking Controller II and Parking Controller III will be retitled to Parking Enforcement Officer I, Parking Enforcement Officer II and Parking Enforcement Officer III, respectively. The City provided notice to the respective bargaining units and has concluded its meet and confer obligation. The affected bargaining units concurred with the changes that are being presented to Council for approval. The City Attorney's Office has approved the Sixth Amendment to FY 2020 Salary Resolution No. 2019-135 as to form.
