The series creates entry, journey and advanced classifications for public safety radio technicians to provide a career ladder and formalize duties, pay tiers and certification expectations. Human Resources staff said the change is meant to address persistent recruitment challenges and to preserve institutional knowledge as experienced technicians retire.

Human Resources staff (presenter) described the new series during the commission meeting, saying the existing single classification made hiring difficult. “This will give us a graduated series, an entry-level journey and then advanced level,” the presenter said, adding the tiered structure is intended as “succession planning in the future.”

Under the proposal, the entry level would accept candidates with no prior experience and a two-year certificate or equivalent training preferred; the journey level would prefer two to four years of progressively responsible experience in two-way radio telecommunications; and the advanced level would prefer five or more years of full-time experience or two years at the mid-level. The presenter said the only initial license requirement is a valid Class C driver’s license, and that higher levels would expect general class radio licenses and vendor or manufacturer certifications (for example, Motorola training) because Montebello’s public safety systems rely on proprietary products.

Commissioners asked about pay and certification requirements. Commissioner Delgado said pay concerns motivated the reclassification effort during recent recruitments. The presenter said the existing pay was being redistributed across the three tiers rather than increasing total payroll for the position immediately, describing it as the same pay “just broken up across 3 series.” Commissioner Briseno asked about required certifications, and the presenter detailed the expected progression of technical training and years of experience for each level.

The commission approved the job specification by voice vote. The action closes a policy gap commissioners said had complicated hiring and created single-person dependencies for maintaining radio systems.

The presenter and commissioners noted the change aims to maintain service continuity for fire, police and emergency management radio systems and to capture retiring technicians’ institutional knowledge.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","This Is the City of Montebello Civil Service Commission Meeting (09/23/25)","oneSentenceSummary","The Montebello Civil Service Commission approved a three-tiered Public Safety Radio Technician classification to improve recruitment, retention and succession planning for the city’s radio communications support.","taxTitle","Montebello, Los Angeles County, California","taxId",3840,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6457900,"Commission approves minutes of June 24, 2025 meeting",37,126000,163000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5825575-a740d764acf0fd7260fadd6c22761f30&start=126&end=163","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5825575-a740d764acf0fd7260fadd6c22761f30/thumbnail_126000.jpg","/articles/6457900/Montebello/Los-Angeles-County/California/Commission-approves-minutes-of-June-24-2025-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6457900-8bbc1bf07f6c302704770df2f765f7c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1775288494&Signature=DrHPPA5CIXecEHEnr85PvC6UA20gHvmihhJv9oLsdO7XAv4WBRS7OkolLwXV8PK2s4KRmgvKz1mO8ufJ0rX1s6px-Ges0C6UNJqOPQCc0MBqMEamB3xYGAmVgDyt4FSi-rWTckNjoxbuZxUNvQBAXra1xEbB9X9P7iY5ZwbwtoEg0dZkiCmMOymuyJ02lY-53r59nEbBjNdpHC7sde0YraAIVy8efeoXB2WVP2qQki6uyBiqc2edXV22qg8xoLoVH7m336qkCIJIf2eWVc7qvPl30KX8~bK73dxoJzM36xtvsdBt8vojkFkw9UT6K0g4MdD7S8smdYQAP0y21QCIUQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Montebello Civil Service Commission approved the minutes of its June 24, 2025 meeting by voice vote at the start of the session.

Human Resources staff described the series as entry, journey and advanced levels that would manage outreach, psychosocial assessment, housing plans, crisis intervention and coordination with internal and external partners. The presenter said the positions are civilian, full-time roles that would fall under the fire department’s community risk reduction division but are non‑sworn.

Human Resources staff (presenter) said the level 1 job is designed for early-career professionals with a bachelor’s degree and no prior experience required; level 2 would target those with two to four years of case management experience; level 3 would prefer a master’s degree and five or more years of experience or two years at the level 2 classification, and would include lead or supervisory duties.

The presenter provided estimated pay ranges developed from market research and internal scaling: level 1 approximately $55,624–$69,467 annually; level 2 approximately $66,000–$82,000; and level 3 approximately $76,000–$95,000. The presenter cautioned the ranges are projections and subject to City Council and finance department approval.

Commissioners discussed workload, partnerships and funding. Commissioner Buscaino asked whether the case managers would have enough caseload to justify the positions; the presenter said current MCAP staff are working at full capacity and that the program has reduced local homelessness through targeted outreach and services. Commissioners also asked about county funding; the presenter said the city regularly pursues grants and is coordinating with Los Angeles County and regional partners. The presenter said recent county Measure A funding provided approximately $691,000 toward Operation StaySafe tiny homes and prior Measure H funds and other regional grants provided roughly $950,000 to support program operations.

Commissioners voted to recommend City Council adopt the resolution amending the classification plan to include Community Case Manager 1, 2 and 3. The motion passed by voice vote.","The commission voted to recommend the City Council adopt a resolution adding Community Case Manager 1–3 to Montebello’s classification plan to support the Montebello Community Assistance Program (MCAP) and related outreach initiatives.","actionData","errors"]
