Columbus Consolidated Government
Council Meeting
February __, 2007
Agenda Report #
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Position Classification Plan Amendment
INITIATED: Human Resources Department
Recommendation: Approve an Ordinance amending the Columbus Consolidated
Government Position Classification Plan by deleting the titles of Police
Technician and Police Detective and replacing those titles with the single
title of Police Corporal.
Background: The University of Georgia Pay Plan included the titles of Police
Technician and Police Detective. The title of Police Technician is used for a
variety of assignments, including crime scene investigation, identification,
evidence and equipment control and field training. Criminal investigators use
the Detective title. In requesting this change, the Police Department desires
to establish a uniform, recognizable and easily understood title for the
officers in these classifications, that is also consistent with current
practices in other jurisdictions.
Analysis: There will be no budgetary impact. The Pay Grade for the new and
deleted positions is the same, Grade 16. There is no change to the authorized
salary ranges of the titles or to the salaries of any employees affected by the
title changes.
Legal: Approval of the Columbus Council is required.
Financial Considerations: No financial considerations other than listed in
Analysis.
Recommendation/Actions: Request of Police Chief.
