Title
RESOLUTION APPROVING PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE TITLE OF THE EXISTING CIVIL SERVICE CLASSIFICATION OF GAS CONTROL SUPERVISOR TO GAS OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR.
Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proposed amendment to the title of the existing civil service classification of gas control supervisor to gas operations supervisor (attached as Exhibit A), which was approved by the civil service board on June 4, 2019, are approved. This classification shall remain subject to the city's collective bargaining agreement with its supervisory unit employees; and that pay range for said classification shall remain Ranges 1080-1095, pay rate of $5,755 to $7,532 per month.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: The title of the existing classification of gas control supervisor was changed to gas operations supervisor following a recent meeting with PHMSA (gas regulatory agency). In relation to gas, "control" implies that the city has a gas control office. The city of Duluth has a gas supply office where gas flow is monitored, and a regulator station where gas flow is controlled. Removing "control" from the job title will better articulate the fact that our office is a gas supply office, rather than a gas control office. Other job classifications with titles that contained "control" were abolished in 2013, due to obsolescence. There is no change in the pay range, which is Range 1080-1095, pay rate of $5,755 to $7,532 per month.
