RE: Reclassifications - G. Tsujiuchi,
Assistant to the City Administrator
Dear Mr. Malkenhorst:
Expansion of the IT Department: The department has been selected
to assume the responsibilities of overseeing our Telecommuni-
cations System (formerly under Light & Power) & improving where
necessary. When Mr. Carlos Fandino assumed the responsibility of
the telecommunications system he received a reclassification to
E/O Project Manager with a monthly salary of $6622 excluding
longevity.
With this transition and removal of Mr. Salomon as IT Manager, Mr.
Tsujiuchi will take on the direct management responsibility and
provide additional guidance & direction to that department and
further training of staff as necessary. He will work closely with
the IT Consultant to ascertain that any initial improvements in
the telecommunications area are compatible with our IT System. In
addition to this Mr. Tsujiuchi shall continue to be available to
other departments/projects (i.e. Fiber Optics, Finance, Business
Technology Center, GIS) and any others that may be warranted.
Presently the Assistant to the City Administrator classification
is the same as the Assistant to the Chief Deputy City Clerk with
more responsibilities and a broader range of capabilities. In
addition to this Mr. Tsujiuchi recently received his Masters
Degree in Business Administration from Cal State Long Beach.
John Salomon's salary as IT Manager was $5,873 excluding longevity
and it has been recommended the position be eliminated. While
Greg supervised John & indirectly supervised that department his
salary was much lower than John's. Originally the request was
RE: Reclassification: February 3, 2004
G. Tsujiuchi, Assistant to the City Administrator

classification to fall in line with the Chief Deputy Director of
Environmental Health as identified below. After further review if
the adjustment seems extreme to you another viable option to merge
that position with is identified below:

Step 1 $8330
2 $7896
3 $7484

6 $6373
7 $6041
Mr. Tsujiuchi is eligible for a merit step increase at this time
to Step 4 of his present scale which is $4,944 excluding
longevity. A reclassification is warranted. Considering his
knowledge, initiative, management skills, education, interest, and
his desire to mentor those showing initiative & job interest, and
the additional responsibilities of the IT Department your serious
consideration of merging his classification with that of
"Assistant Director of Finance" classification is recommended.

RE: Reclassifications - IT Division
Dear Mr. Malkenhorst:
At the Finance Committee of January 27, 2004 the matter of
personnel changes were presented and deferred. At this time I
offer the following information:
John Salomon, IT Manager, Step 3 reclassify to the proposed
position of Network Systems Administrator, Step 1. If approved
this would be a lateral transfer only.
History: Mr. Salomon began serving as an Interim IT Manager
in December 2001 and was advanced & reclassified in March 2002 to
IT Manager, Step 3. That reclassification provided an approximate
20 increase ($117) above his regular "merit step" that was due at
the time. This was done to give Mr. Salomon an incentive to prove
that he could fully handle the additional supervisory and manage-
ment responsibilities without the need of direct supervision. Mr.
Salomon's 12-month review period was extended three months as his
decision -making abilities, management skills & supervisory skills
began to lack. In July 2003 Mr. Salomon
extension in time to hopefully improve in
& management decisions but that was to no
not received a merit step increase since
reclassification.
RECLASIFICATION OF THE IT DEPARTMENT:
was given further
the area of supervision
avail. Mr. Salomon has
his initial
Create a Network Systems Administrator position with the
attached salary scale: At this time Mr. Tsujiuchi is recommending
that the position of "Network Systems Administrator" be created
with a top step equal to John Salomon's present IT Manager Step 3
thereby eliminating the possibility for further advancement but
allowing an opportunity for other IT personnel to advance to that
classification if warranted and necessary.
RE: Reclassifications - IT Division February 3, 2004
Reclassify Utility Clerk: Araceli Ayon was hired January 6,
2003 and has worked in the IT Department since that time. In
approximately July of 2003 she was given additional responsi-
bilities, specifically in the area of new technology. She has
since that time conducted computer related software training
classes, manages asset inventory & software licensing
compliance, records management for IT, in addition to a variety
of other clerical/secretarial duties. At this time it is
requested that the position of "Administrative Assistant" be
added to the salary scale of "Utility Clerk" and based on Ms.
Ayon's increased responsibilities & meritorious job performance
it is recommended that she be advanced one additional step, to
Step 8 with a new monthly salary of $2,502 effective February 8,
2004. The six weeks off that Ms. Ayon took for maternity leave
has been factored into this effective date.
