Dept: Human Resources Ward(s): All
Subject:
Resolution of the Mayor and Common Council of the City of San Bernardino
Establishing the Classification of Security Officer II, Reclassifying the Classification of
Park Ranger to Security Officer II and Deleting the Classification of Park Ranger for the
Police Department. (#4528)
Current Business Registration Certificate: Not Applicable
Financial Impact:
No financial impact.
Motion: Adopt the Resolution.
Synopsis of Previous Council Action:
On October 19, 2015 the Mayor and Common Council approved the resolution of
establishing the Position of Park Ranger, Part-Time/Extra-Hire and approving the job
description.
Background:
The Park Ranger program was created to provide non-peace officer security patrols and
I public safety in and around City parks. The Police Department is responsible for the
Park Ranger program and is actively engaged in recruiting for this position.
In late March 2016, the City was notified by the California Park Ranger Association that
I the use of the "Park Ranger"job title is reserved for sworn peace officers. Specifically,
California Public Resources Code Section 4022(a) provides: "The titles of ranger, park
ranger, and forest ranger, and derivations thereof, may only be used by persons who
are peace officers..." Given that the San Bernardino Park Ranger program will not
employ sworn peace officers, there is a need to change the classification to comply with
the Public Resources Code.
The Police Department currently uses the classification of Security Officer for part-time
employees assigned to conduct security patrols and public safety operations in and
around City Hall and other City facilities. The current Park Ranger position consists of
similar but expanded duties and responsibilities above and beyond the current Security
Officer Position. Given the natural relationship between these two positions and in
recognition of the expanded duties of the Park Ranger position, it is recommended that
the Park Ranger job classification title be changed to "Security Officer I I" and that the

salary remain the same at $20/Hour.
In addition to the job classification title change, it is further recommended that the job
specification for the Park Ranger position be modified to coincide with the existing
Security Officer position, while reflecting the expanded duties and responsibilities that
will distinguish the two classifications. Creating a Security Officer and Security Officer II
hierarchy will allow greater interoperability between the two positions while providing for
advancement opportunities for part-time Security Officers.
Staff Recommendations:
1. Establish the position of Security Officer II, Range PT, $20 per hour and approve
the job description, attached hereto as Exhibit "A" is hereby approved.
2. Reclassify the position of"Park Ranger" Range PT, $20 per hour to "Security
Officer II" Range PT, $20 per hour.
3. Delete the Park Ranger classification.
