The position of Traffic Engineer is irnportant to the operation of the Traffic Control Departrnent and is necessary to be able to participate in federally funded projects. Twenty-three cities responded to our survey showing an average starting salary of $957 per rnonth. Therefore, with these results, the adrninistration recornrnends an up-grading of the salary range of Traffic Engineer frorn salary range #225 - $820 - $1002.50 to salary range #ZZB - $gZO-$I092.50 to be effective July l, L970. espec subrnitted, Rob H.

H. Oldland, City Manager SUBJECT: Engineering Aide Il[ - Account 2I The staff has for some tirne had under study the inclusion of a third level engineering aide in Account 2l The engineering aide classifications in this account describe the activities of our field survey crews. In a field survey crew there are four distinctive Ievels, Chainrnan (Engineering Aide I), Rodrnan ( Enlineering Aide I), I.rstrurnent- rnan (Engi.neering Aide II) and. Party Chief (Engineering Technician)" The staff proposes that the Chainrnan be classified as Engineering Aide I, the Rodrnan be classified as Engineering Aide 1I, the Instrurnentrnan as Engineering Aide III and the Party Chief to rernain as Engineering Technician. A result of this alignrnent is to add one nerv classification to the classification plan, that of an Engineering Aide III 352, Salary Range 117, $550-600. This new classification would in effect provide for reclassification of three Engineering Aide Irs to Engineering Aide IIrs and three Engineering Aide IIrs to Engineering Aide IIIrs and a salary differential between Chainrrran, or the beginning entry level position and the Rodrnan. Even though the staff recorrrrlends a new classification, the result is to better classify existing personnel rvith no additional personnel to be added to the Personnel Schedule in the budget for FY69-70. Tire budget effect for the rernainder of FY69-70 would be $l2oo. oo. Therefore, it is the adrninistrationts recornrnendation that the nerv classifi.cation of Engineering Aide III be added tc the Classification Plan and that the effective date of such classification be January I, 1970. sPec ubrnitted, Rob rt H.
