Title
Consider recommendations regarding establishing Job Classifications of Heavy Equipment Operator, Specialist and Refuse Checker, Senior, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution to establish the classifications of Heavy Equipment Operator, Specialist (Class No. 4006, Range No. 4006, $34.452 to $41.877 per hour) and Refuse Checker, Senior (Class No.6482, Range No.6482, $28.308 to $34.409 per hour), as well as allocate fifteen (15) 1.0 FTE legal positions to the Public Works Department;
b) Approve the Side Letter between Service Employees International Union, Local 620 and the County of Santa Barbara regarding the terms and conditions applicable to the Heavy Equipment Operator, Specialist and Refuse Checker, Senior job classifications and initial salaries; and
c) Determine that the above actions are exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review per CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) since the recommended actions are government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment.
