• <br />Civil Service Meeting <br />September 14, 1981 <br />~~ Page 10 <br />u <br />•Trainer: I think its important that we understand the classification system and the <br />pay system that the Police Department operates under. I like to make one point <br />here: It's my understanding the Commission is not responsible for establishing the <br />pay scales, nor the classifications. Is that correct? <br />Hudgens: That's correct. <br />Trainer: That's the specific responsibility of the City. <br />Hud ens: The only -thing the Commission will establish will be the---you know---you <br />can establish the requirements--- <br />Trainer: For those positions. <br />Hud ens: ---for those positions. <br />Trainer: Definitely. <br />Hudgens: --but not the classifications nor the salary structure, or the number of <br />authorized people in those positions. <br />Trainer: Once, ah, the Police Department becomes formally covered by these rules <br />and regulations, etc., does the City--can the City go in and change the organi- <br />zational structure of the department? We're probably looking at a Police Chief-- <br />ah--X number of Lieutenants, X number of Sergeants, X number of Patrolmen. Is it <br />within the latitude of the City to go in and say: Well now, we're going to have <br />two Lieutenant positions rather than three? <br />Hud ens: Uh-huh. <br />Trainer: O.K.---or are we going to have two Captain positions, or something like <br />that? You can eliminate, or add to--- <br />Hud ens: Right. <br />Trainer: ---through the normal--- <br />Hudgens: Right, and--ah--when they do that their--ah--when a position is deleted, <br />there are provisions within the Act of how those employees that fall in that position <br />is deleted or treated and--ah--I would envision that,--ah--what would occur hence- <br />forth--any changes--there's going to be additions because this is relatively basic-- <br />any change to it is going to be additional personnel or additional classifications. <br />Randall: Mary, have you--ah--in the material that we have received here; have you <br />given a breakdown of the department, the Police Department at all? <br />Davis: Classifications? <br />~~ <br />
