Committee backs job reclassification, keeps $5-per-hour training differential

Sara Dressel, human resources director, asked the committee to recommend Common Council approval of revised job descriptions for two street-department roles. Dressel said McGrath Human Resources Group reviewed the descriptions and recommended reclassifying the inventory assistant operator from pay grade 124 to 126 because of added inventory, equipment operation and intermittent training responsibilities. She said McGrath recommended retaining the $5-per-hour training differential for employees who perform CDL instruction because training occurs sporadically but has high market value.
