SUBJECT: 4.15(a)--Consider Resolution Amending Redding Independent Employees'
Organization - Supervisory/Confidential Unit Exempt Employee Schedule of Classification and
Sala Ran es to Increase Salary for Wastewater Laborator Su ervisor Classification.
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution, effective September 29, 2024, approving an amendment to the Redding
Independent Employees' Organization - Supervisory/Confidential Unit Exempt Employee
Schedule of Classifications and Salary Ranges to increase the salary for the Wastewater
Laboratory Supervisor classification.
Fiscal Impact
The estimated cost associated with this recommendation ranges between approximately $12,637
and $17,795 annually, including salary and benefits.
Alternative Action
City Council could decline to approve the resolution and the salary for the Wastewater
Laboratory Supervisor classification would remain unchanged. Alternatively, the City could look
into options to contract the Laboratory Technical Manager work out to a local vendor. This
option is costly.
�3ackground/flnalysis
The Clear Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWTP) lab serves as a state-accredited testing
facility for both of the City's wastewater treatment plants and is certified by the State of
California to perform required operational and regulatory testing.
Report to Redding City Council September 25, 2024
Re: 4.15(a)--Wastewater Laboratory Supervisor Class Change&Salary Increase Page 2
On January 1, 2021, the State of California ilnplemented the transition to the standards from The
NELAC Institute (TNI), which required laboratories to start implementing changes necessary to
comply with a certain set of standards. These requirements are designed to ensure that
wastewater laboratories in California operate with high standards of accuracy, reliability, and
environmental responsibility.
In addition, there are certain staffing requirements that must be included to meet the required
standards, including the requirement to have a Laboratory Director, Technical Manager, and
Quality Assurance Officer. In 2021, the City of Redding created the Laboratory Supervisor
position to absorb these roles and provide oversight to the wastewater laboratory. As this
position is required for a11 environmental laboratories within the state of California, it is a very
competitive position with a certain set of skills as well as a specific area of expertise and
certification.
Since February 2024, the City has conducted three failed recruitments and completed targeted
advertising with enhanced social media posts only to receive no qualified applicants. Staff
completed a salary and benefits study and has found that the City of Redding compensation
package is substantially behind all of those compared. Staff recormnends increasing the salary by
15 percent to be more competitive, which is important as this position is required for all
environmental laboratories in California.
As stated above, the duties associated with the Wastewater Laboratory Supervisor position
(Laboratory Director, Technical Manager and Quality Assurance Officer) are required by
regulation. Since the City has been unable to fi11 the Wastewater Laboratory Supervisor position,
Public Works has had to contract with a qualified consultant to perform duties of the Wastewater
Laboratory Supervisor in order to maintain our State accreditation.
In addition to increasing the salary for the Wastewater Laboratory Supervisor position, the
classification specification will be amended to recognize other qualifying experience in order to
allow for a wider group of candidates which meet the job requirements and potentially increase
the size of the applicant pool. Additionally, Fublic Works plans to transfer this position to the
Wastewater Administration Division and have the position report directly to the Municipal
Utilities Manager to reduce the potential conflict of interest of the plant supervisor having
supervisory influence over the quality control of the laboratory.
The proposed changes have been discussed with, and have the support of, the Redding
Independent Employees' Organization— SupervisorylConfidential Unit.
Envi�^onmental Review
This is not a project defined under the California Environmental Quality Act, and no further
action is required.
Council Prior�ity/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21St Century — `Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and
challenges of today's residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better
decisions today."
