Merit Appeals Board <br />August 30, 2022 <br />Okay, so we're going to move on to "Classification & Pay"—any questions here for <br />classification and pay? While everyone is looking at it, I have one, Waylen. <br />So, here the outcome is 86 redescription review requests were received, all requests were <br />processed within five workdays. Somewhere else in the report I think it's the other report—it's <br />the division reportoh, maybe I should wait for that. <br />How does this intertwine with the new positions that are allocated for this year's fiscal budget? <br />Is it part of this 86? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. So we would count the redescriptions as part of that. So, part of <br />C&P's process is when they allocate new positions, the first thing they do is look at position <br />descriptions to make sure they're updated. So, if they need to be updated, they would be <br />included in the count for redescription review. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Now, there were 71 reallocation requests for recruitment purposes. Can you <br />explain about that 71—are these—all 71 positions are being downgraded or what's happening? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: For various reasons. So when we do police recruits we reallocate those <br />positions down. The mayor has been in support of departments—because we're having—part of <br />the strategy is to helping fill a lot of the vacancies, reallocating these higher level positions down <br />for recruitment and lowers the minimum qualifications and increases the pool. So, a lot of that is <br />included in this number. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Thank you, Waylen. Anyone else? Okay. <br />We're going to move on to "Equal Opportunity/ADA Division." So, is that—has this position <br />been filled? <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: No, it hasn't. We just wrapped up interviews last week. <br />CHR. CABANAS: Oh, okay. And I noticed somewhere else in the report that you downgraded <br />it <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Yes. <br />CHR. CABANAS: —from a manager level to a program specialist. <br />MR. LEOPOLDINO: Program specialist—correct. And we were successful in getting a bigger <br />pool of candidates because the MQ's were reduced. So, we got a good sized <br />CHR. CABANAS: Okay. So, he explained that, just so the Board members know when you <br />say the "MQ's" the minimum qualifications had been reduced, it's because it's a different <br />classification. <br />Page 13 <br />
