The salary quoted in the Amendment however, incorrectly stated a starting hourly rate of $18.75 instead of $16. This action is a correction item only and represents no monthly salary and benefits cost. There is no change in the total number of authorized positions.

Action: Set: Salary for D006, Deputy Director of Public Works at $70.09 to $87.63 per hour.
Explanation: This action reduces the current salary for the Deputy Director of Public Works classification by 5% to correspond with the removal of the licensed Civil Engineer (CE) requirement from the classification specification.

Any future hires for Deputy Director will be provided a 5% differential if they hold and maintain a CE license. Public Works currently has three Deputy Directors, one for Engineering and Utilities, one for Roads and a recently vacated one for Facilities. The two current Deputies are both licensed Civil Engineers as was the previous Deputy for Facilities. This action is being done in anticipation of recruitment issues that may arise in recruiting for a Deputy Director over functions that are not necessarily requiring CE license such as Facilities. Based on one vacant position of Deputy Director, this action represents a monthly salary and benefits savings of $1,167. There is no change in the total number of authorized positions.
