NEW BUSINESS
Update of Job Description and Revision of Minimum Qualifications: Library Clerk
The Commission reviewed proposed updates to the Library Clerk job description. The
updates reflect the current technology used in school libraries. The updates do not
change the overall scope or nature of the position. Additionally, high school graduation or
a high school equivalency diploma is being added as a minimum requirement for the
position. Commissioner Thompson made a motion to update the Library Clerk job
description and amend the minimum qualifications as proposed. Seconded by
Commissioner Abrams. Motion carried 2-0.
Revision of Job Description and Change in Title: Plumbing Inspector
The Commission reviewed proposed revisions to the Plumbing Inspector job description.
The revisions reflect the reassignment of the position to the Building Division of the
Planning Department. The position has historically been located in the Water and Sewer
Division of the Department of Public Works. The title is being amended from Chief
Inspector of Plumbing back to its original title of Plumbing Inspector so that the title format
is consistent with similar titles in the Building Division. Finally, the minimum qualifications
are being modified slightly, by reducing the experience requirement by one year, from
eleven years to ten years. These revisions do not change the overall scope or nature of
the position. Commissioner Abrams made a motion to revise the Plumbing Inspector job
description, including amending the title and minimum qualifications, as proposed.
Seconded by Commissioner Thompson. Motion carried 2-0.
