Title
Human Resources Department recommending the Board approve and adopt the revised Deputy Surveyor class specification.
FUNDING: N/A
Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
At the request of the Surveyor, Human Resources reviewed the minimum qualifications of the Deputy Surveyor classification. The request came after a recruitment for this position failed, with no applicants passing the minimum qualifications screening. The applicants who applied were journey-level surveyors, but all applicants were screened out due to the higher post-license experience requirement. With a slightly lower threshold for the post-license experience several candidates would have met the minimum qualifications allowing the Surveyor to interview them.
In working with the Surveyor, Human Resources recommends an appropriate revision to the minimum qualifications for Deputy Surveyor that will allow qualified candidates to meet the minimum qualifications and encourage an increased number of qualified applicants to apply.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could choose not to approve the revised job classification and direct Human Resources to explore other options or revisions.
