RECLASSIFICATION REQUEST YOUTH BUREAU SENIOR STENOGRAPHER TO ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY The Commission reviewed and discussed a reclassification request from Youth Bureau Director Cohen to reclassify the current Senior Stenographer position in the Youth Bureau to Administrative Secretary. Youth Bureau Director Cohen stated that the position is very demanding and requires a high degree of confidentiality. He also felt that the salary is a very important consider- ation for the responsibility that is involved in the job and for these reasons , he feels that the position should be reclassified. It was noted that the position of Administrative Secretary has been advertised and is pending approval of the Commission. Civil • Service Commission Meeting - Page 2 January 8, 1990 Commissioner Bantuvanis asked if there were any individuals at -the -Youth Bureau who have shown an interest in this position. Youth Bureau Director Cohen stated that at this time no one at the Youth Bureau has shown an interest. It was also noted that the individual who accepted this position would be appointed provisionally. There was further discussion by the Commission regarding the salary of the Administrative Secretary position. Youth Bureau Director Cohen stated that he felt that this was a key position to the Youth Bureau and if the position was not reclassified to Administrative Secretary he would have a problem with finding qualified people to fill this position. The Commission also noted that they would like to look into the shorthand requirements for the position at the March meeting . Commissioner Cooper made a motion to reclassify the Senior Stenographer position to Administrative Secretary. Seconded by Commissioner Perko . Motion carried. AUTOMOTIVE MECHANIC JOB DESCRIPTION The Commission reviewed the material submitted by Motor Equipment Maintenance Supervisor Richard Ferrel regarding a proposed change to the Automotive Mechanic job description. Mr . Ferrel is requesting that a special require- ment be added to the job description to require appointees to obtain a New York State Motor Vehicle Inspectors License. Commissioner Cooper asked if employees needed to have a Motor Vehicle Inspectors License. Personnel Administrator Walker explained that if they want to continue doing inspections, they will need this license. For current employees this will be a volunteer situation, but for future employees this would be a requirement. The Commission was concerned that the special requirement would discourage people from applying. Personnel Administrator Walker stated that most people coming from the private sector would already have this license and that the City has been exempt from this license in the past because it is a govern- mental agency. Acting Superintendent Fabbroni stated that it is necessary for employees to have this license and that Mr. Ferrel cannot enforce the licensing require- ment because it is not in the job description. He also stated that employees are reluctant to get the license due to the fact that they would have to pay for the license. If the current employees were to get the license, there would need to be discussion with the Union regarding reimbursement. Commissioner Perko stated that he would like the City to pay for this license. Commissioner Perko made a motion to add a special requirement to the Auto- motive Mechanic job description which required appointees to obtain an appropriate level New York State Motor Vehicle Inspector' s License within six months of appointment and maintain said license for the duration of employ- ment.
