Council hears proposal to reclassify public works foreman to Grade 16
Summary
Council was told that a review by David Drown and Associates recommends moving the public works foreman position (held by Josh Cross) from grade 15 to grade 16, and that the Teamsters union has been consulted and agrees with the approach; council confirmed the change is in the budget.
Council members discussed a proposed reclassification of the public works foreman position at the April 28 work session.
Council was told that Josh Cross has been performing foreman duties with added supervisory responsibility and that David Drown and Associates reviewed the revised job description and recommended upgrading the position one grade, from grade 15 to grade 16. Staff said the position is represented by the Teamsters and that the union has been informed and agrees with the reclassification.
A council member asked whether the reclassification was included in the current budget; staff replied that it is. No formal vote on the reclassification was recorded in the work-session transcript; the item was presented for council awareness and later approval steps were implied.
Why it matters: reclassifying a represented position affects pay grade, collective-bargaining recognition and ongoing payroll costs; the council confirmed staff believe it is budgeted.
Next steps: staff did not record a formal vote in the work-session transcript; any formal approval would follow the council’s regular agenda and personnel procedures.
