APPROVAL OF MINUTES M/S/C (Harnik/Berkson) to approve the minutes of December 11, 2019 meeting as submitted. 5. 2020 CLASSIFICATION STUDY RECOMMENDATIONS AND FISCAL YEAR 2020/21 ORGANIZATION RECOMMENDATIONS Anne Mayer, Executive Director, presented the 2020 Classification Study and FY 2020/21 Organization recommendations. There was discussion amongst the Committee regarding the four vacant positions not being filled for next fiscal year and the cost savings, about the impacts on staff that may not be reclassified, and the perception of doing any reclassifications during the COVID-19 crisis. Commissioner Chuck Washington then supported staff’s recommendation and moved the motion. Commissioner Lisa Middleton seconded the motion and suggested not having staff work out of their classification. M/S/C (Washington/Middleton) to: 1) Suspend merit increases and salary range cost of living adjustment (COLA) for FY 2020/21; 2) Approve FY 2020/21 salary ranges; 3) Reclassify Management Analyst – Planning & Programming on range 35 ($6,429-$8,679) to Senior Management Analyst – Planning & Programming on range 43 ($7,814-$10,549); 4) Reclassify Management Analyst – Multimodal Services on range 35 ($6,429-$8,679) to Senior Management Analyst – Multimodal Services on range 43 ($7,814-$10,549); 5) Reclassify Management Analyst – Commuter/Motorist Assistance on range 35 ($6,429-$8,679) to Senior Management Analyst – Commuter/Motorist Assistance on range 43 ($7,814-$10,549); 6) Approve the addition of an Administrative Services Manager/Clerk of the Board on range 51 ($9,498-$12,823); 7) Reclassify Clerk of the Board on range 45 ($8,205-$11,077) to Administrative Services Manager/Clerk of the Board on range 51 ($9,498- $12,823); and 8) Direct staff to include these proposed actions in the draft FY 2020/21 budget for consideration by the Commission.

RCTC Executive Committee Meeting Minutes May 13, 2020 Page 3 At this time, Commissioner Hewitt suggested to continue this agenda item to next month.

Steve DeBaun, Legal Counsel, discussed with the Committee the possible outcomes if there was a lawsuit filed against the agency. The Committee continued to discuss their concerns which included: the economy, the importance of staff morale working out of classification, the morale of the agency, the legal aspect of not receiving a reclassification, and the Committee Members that were absent prior to the motion. At this time, Commissioners Michael Naggar and Karen Spiegel joined the meeting. M/S/C (Hewitt/White) to: 1) Suspend merit increases and salary range cost of living adjustment (COLA) for FY 2020/21; 2) Approve FY 2020/21 salary ranges; 3) Continue staff recommendation nos. 3-7 to the June Executive Committee; and 8) Direct staff to include these proposed actions in the draft FY 2020/21 budget for consideration by the Commission. 6.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the May 13, 2020 meeting, the Executive Committee approved the FY 2020/21 salary ranges and suspension of salary merit increases and cost of living adjustments for salary ranges for incorporation in the Commission’s FY 2020/21 Budget. Reclassifications of four positions were discussed, and a majority of Committee Members in attendance voted to support the action but fell short of the necessary majority of the entire Committee in order to be approved. After additional discussion, the action to reclassify the positions was deferred for reconsideration and discussion at the next Executive Committee meeting. Each year in accordance with the Administrative Code and as a part of the budget process, the Executive Committee considers organization recommendations including but not limited to staff classifications and compensation. Budget related decisions are included in the annual budget for consideration and approval by the full Commission. As a result of COVID-19, this annual 1 Agenda Item 5 consideration has been delayed in order to obtain as much financial information as possible before the required June 15 budget deadline. It is likely that the FY 2020/21 budget will require continuous monitoring, assessment and potential adjustment throughout the fiscal year. Another action taken by the Executive Committee in May was to defund four vacant positions. Prior to that action, the previous staffing level was 54 full-time equivalents with 4 vacancies. Each of these 4 vacancies has been held vacant for at least 6 months due to recruitment challenges for specialized positions and a need to assess the organization structure. The FY 2019/20 cost savings for these vacancies exceed $650,000. As a result of the COVID-19 impact, an indefinite hiring freeze has been implemented; therefore, although these vacancies remain on the organization chart, they are unfunded in the FY 2020/21 budget. The hiring freeze savings are $780,500, which is 7% of the FY 2020/21 salary benefit budget. Summary of 2020 Classification Study In February 2020, Koff & Associates conducted a classification study for select classifications in various departments at the Commission. An agency-wide compensation study was conducted in 2018, the results of which are still valid with no base salary modifications recommended. When positions are classified, the focus is on assigned job duties and the job-related requirements for successful performance, not on individual employee capabilities or volume of work performed. Positions are thus evaluated and classified on the basis of such factors as the nature and level of work performed, the complexity of the work, the authority delegated to make decisions and take action, the responsibility for the work of others and/or for budgeted expenditures, contacts with others (both inside and outside of the organization), the impact of the position on the organization, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities required to perform the work. Employees working “out-of-class” must be reclassified and compensated accordingly or remain in classification with workload reassigned. Given the Commission’s minimal staffing levels, reassignment of workload or hiring additional staff to accommodate workload are not practical or cost effective options. The classification study on the Management Analyst positions in the Planning & Programming, Multimodal Services and Commuter/Motorist Assistance departments and the Clerk of the Board position identified that the expanding job descriptions warranted a position reclassification and a position upgrade for the incumbents in those positions. Specifically, for the Clerk of the Board position, incumbent is performing management duties for the IT program, administration, and related operations which are not reflected in the current Clerk of the Board job classification. The Measure A Ordinance limits administrative salaries and benefits to 1% of Measure A revenues, and Commission policy states that administrative costs, including administrative salaries and benefits, will not exceed 4%. The recommendation to reclassify the four positions will not result in exceeding these limitations. Even with reduced revenues projected as a result of COVID-19, compliance with these caps is expected. The Commission’s delivery of projects and 2 Agenda Item 5 programs is primarily accomplished through the use of vendors, consultants and contractors with oversight from Commission staff. Staff requests approval of these reclassifications and the position of Administrative Services Manager/Clerk of the Board, along with the revised organizational chart in preparation for the FY 2020/21 budget process. Drafts of the job descriptions for all of these positions are included with this staff report.
