YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SUPERVISOR CLASSIFICATION RECOMMENDATIONS -
APPEAL BY JOHN BAILEY
The Commission discussed Youth Development Program Supervisor John
Bailey' s appeal to have his position awarded a separate classification
from those of the other Youth Development Prog Am Supervisors . The
Commission reviewed the appeal information submitted by Mr. Bailey,
and compared the information regarding Mr. Bailey' s position with that
of the other Program Supervisor positions.
After further discussion, the Commission concluded that all of the
positions had their own specialities and unique demands , but that on
an overall basis, the individual strengths and facets of each position
were not significantly different enough to warrant separate
classifications of any of the positions . The Commission further
determined that the overall level of responsibility of each of the
Program Supervisor positions, including Mr. Bailey's position, was
similar and, therefore the Commission could not justify creating a
unique classification.
YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM SUPERVISOR CLASSIFICATION STUDY - ADOPTION
OF RECOMMENDATIONS
The Commission reviewed the report submitted by the Personnel
Department recommending the reclassification of the Youth Development
Program Supervisor positions to those of Youth Program Coordinator.
The Commission had a lengthy discussion regarding the use of the term
"Coordinator" versus that of "Supervisor" . The Commission reviewed
and discussed a number of issues regarding the proposed title change,
including the reporting relationships and organizational structure
within the Youth Bureau.
After much discussion on the matter , the Commission endorsed the
"Coordinator" title, with the opinion that it covered a broader range
of activities than that of "Supervisor" and , consequently , better E
described the activities of the Program Supervisor positions . •
The Commission discussed additional issues raised regarding the
proposed reclassification. Commissioner Cooper expressed concern over
the frequency with which positions were being reviewed and questioned
% '7
whether there should be time limitations restricting the continual
review of a specific position.
After a final review of all the information presented, Commissioner
Cooper made a motion to adopt the recommended reclassification of the
Youth Development Program Supervisor positions to those of Youth
Program Coordinator. Seconded by Commissioner Perko. Motion passed
unanimously.
Commissioner Perko made a motion to adjourn the meeting at 4 : 15 pm.
Seconded by Commissioner Cooper. Meeting adjourned.
