Thus, compensation for the first year of employment, including 19.37% for variable fringe benefits that rise with salary, would be ~~!a~~ Additional funding is available from the Telecommunications Division Professional/Contractual Services Account. n. ANALYSIS Overview Personnel Department staff analyzed job descriptions from eleven jurisdictions which have similar cable television divisions as the City of San Bernardino. Personnel staff also analyzed internal staffing relationships and salary ranges in our Telecommunications Division. Job Descriotion The proposed new position of CATV Production Technician was compared with similar positions in the survey agencies with respect to representative duties, minimum qualifications and salary ranges. The jurisdictions used are: 3 of 14 City or Agency * Brea * Norwalk * Chino * Pasadena * Compton * San Bernardino Community * Garden Grove College District * Huntington Beach * Thousand Oaks * Lakewood * Torrance The proposed position of CATV Production Technician is most similar to ten classifications among the eleven agencies surveyed. (See highlighted classifications on Attachment A). The following agency does not have classifications which match the proposed new position: City of Garden Grove. Duties The most salient duties performed by the similar classifications in the survey agencies are summarized on Attachment B. These duties are representative of those to be performed by the proposed CATV Production Technician for the City of San Bernardino. Other related duties performed by one or more of the survey agencies include: * * Assisting the Cable Television Manager in franchise administration and complaint resolution. Developing specifications for equipment and supplies and assisting with equipment inventory records. Conducting on-air personal interviews. Conducting routine preventive maintenance and trouble shooting technical problems. Operating computer graphic programs to design layouts and produce camera-ready art work. * * * Minimum Oualifications The minimum qualifications of various telecommunications positions are summarized in Attachment A and compared in Attachment C. Four comparison classifications require an AA degree or 2 years of college course work in :Communications or a related field and one to two years of video production experience. The remaining three classifications concentrate on journey level competence in video production duties. . The proposed new position of CATV Production Technician would require graduation from high school or G.E.D. equivalent and at least one year of video production experience. Additional video experience is preferred. Seven of the ten comparison classifications require the possession of, or ability to acquire, a valid California Class .C. driver's license at the time of appointment. This requirement is also a minimum qualification for the proposed new job description of CATV Production Technician. Salaries for the ten similar classifications range from a low of $1700/month to a high of $3,957/month. 4 of 14 Internal Or!!:anization - Telecommunications Division An analysis was made of the internal relationships in the Telecommunications Division. Attachment "D" is an organization chart for the Telecommunications Division showing the location of the proposed CATV Production Technician within the division. The proposed new position of CATV Production Technician will be supervised by the Video Production Coordinator, which is a mid- management position. The Coordinator's salary range is 2341, $2,430 - $2,955/month, approximately 28.5% above the new proposed position of CATV Production Technician. A review of Resolution 6413, Section Ten:General Employees, shows that one of the closest ranges (Range 1273) includes a Personnel Clerk II and a Telecommunications Representative. III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In order to establish the new proposed classification of CATV Production Technician, the following is recommended: * Include in the job description, duties similar to comparable positions in other agencies and customer service language (see revised job description - Attachment E). * Establish the salary for the new CATV Production Technician classification at Range 1274, $1,739 - $2,114/month.
