DATE: June 16, 2026
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Colleen Tribby, City Manager
SUBJECT:
Revisions to the Personnel System
Prepared by: Sarah Monnastes, Human Resources Director/Risk Manager
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City Council will consider updating the City’s Salary Plan and portions of the Classification
Plan. The Salary Plan updates implement the previously approved Fiscal Year 2026-27 cost-
of-living adjustment, while the Classification Plan changes modernize positions in the
Community Engagement Division and Environment and Sustainability Division to reflect
current operational needs, clarify levels of responsibility, align with industry standards, and
improve consistency across the City’s Personnel System.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the following: 1) Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan for Full-Time Personnel in
Accordance with the Personnel Rules; 2) Resolution Establishing a Salary Plan for
Management Positions Exempt from Competitive Service in Accordance with the Personnel
Rules; and 3) Resolution Amending the Classification Plan.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no budgetary impact associated with the proposed classification updates. The cost-of-
living increases reflected in the proposed salary plans were previously approved as part of the
Fiscal Year 2026-27 Budget.
DESCRIPTION:
This Staff Report addresses updates to various documents that are part of the City’s Personnel
System Rules. The following is a summary of the proposed changes.
Salary Plan
Included within the City’s Personnel System are resolutions establishing salary ranges for City
1670
Page 2 of 4
personnel. Attachments 1 and 2 establish salary ranges for F iscal Year 2026-27 to reflect the
1.7% cost-of-living adjustment included in the City’s Benefit Plan previously adopted by the
City Council on September 5, 2023.
Classification Plan
Pursuant to the City’s Personnel System Rules, a job description must be adopted for each
classification. Job descriptions outline the essential duties, responsibilities, knowledge, skills,
abilities, and qualifications associated with each classification within the City’s Classification
Plan.
The proposed updates to the City’s Community Engagement and Environment and
Sustainability classifications are intended to modernize the classifications, reflect current
operational needs, clarify levels of responsibility, and ensure consistency across the City’s
classification plan. The revisions also align the classifications with current industry terminology,
regulatory requirements, and organizational structure. There are no recommended salary
range adjustments associated with these proposed updates.
Attachment 3 includes the following amendments:
Community Engagement Manager
The classification title of Communications Manager is proposed to be changed to Community
Engagement Manager to better reflect the current scope and strategic nature of the position.
Over time, the role has evolved beyond traditional public information responsibilities and now
includes oversight of the City’s digital communications ecosystem, multimedia production,
strategic messaging, public engagement initiatives, and emergency communications. The
revisions clarify the position’s leadership role in the citywide communication strategy, media
relations, public outreach, accessibility compliance, and cross-departmental coordination. The
updates also align the classification with contemporary communications practices and
technologies utilized by public agencies.
Environmental Technician
The proposed revisions to the Environmental Technician classification clarify the position’s role
as a technical support classification within the City’s environmental and sustainabil ity program
structure. The updates modernize the classification language and more accurately reflect the
day-to-day responsibilities associated with regulatory compliance support, field inspections,
public outreach, data tracking, and environmental program implementation. The revisions also
improve alignment within the environmental classification series and distinguish the technical
support responsibilities of this classification from the more advanced professional and program
administration duties assigned to higher-level classifications.
The proposed revisions also update the minimum qualifications for the position by replacing
the current bachelor’s degree requirement with an associate degree and relevant technical or
administrative experience. This change is intended to better align the minimum qualifications
with the technical support nature of the classification, broaden the pool of qualified applicants,
and create greater accessibility to entry-level public sector environmental careers while still
ensuring candidates possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the work.
1671
Page 3 of 4
Environmental Specialist
The classification title of Environmental Coordinator is proposed to be changed to
Environmental Specialist. The revised title more accurately reflects the professional, analytical,
and technical nature of the position and better aligns with the advanced program
administration and regulatory compliance responsibilities assigned to the role. The term
“Specialist” is also more consistent with current public sector classification practices and more
clearly distinguishes the position from classifications primarily focused on administrative
coordination or event-based functions.
The proposed revisions to the Environmental Specialist classification mod ernize and clarify the
advanced professional-level responsibilities associated with the position. The updated
classification reflects the increased complexity of environmental compliance, sustainability
initiatives, regulatory coordination, technical analysis, and program administration
responsibilities currently performed by the position. The revisions also establish clearer
distinctions between the Environmental Technician, Environmental Specialist, and
Environmental and Sustainability Manager classifications to better define organizational roles,
levels of responsibility, and career progression within the series.
Environmental and Sustainability Manager
The proposed revisions to the Environmental and Sustainability Manager classification update
and clarify the management-level responsibilities associated with oversight of the City’s
environmental and sustainability programs. The revisions reflect the expanding scope of
environmental regulations, climate action initiatives, sustainability planning, stormwa ter
compliance, and regional coordination responsibilities managed by the position. The updated
classification also emphasizes the position’s strategic leadership role in policy development,
program administration, interagency coordination, budget oversight, and supervision of
professional and technical staff.
