Title
Amend Pay Ordinance S-45840 in Accordance with Human Resources Committee 605 Recommendations (Ordinance S-46707)
Description
To recognize the higher degree of training and more complex duties required by security personnel in the Municipal Court Department, creating a separate classification series (Court Security Officer) will distinguish the specialized knowledge and duties from general Municipal Security Guards. Likewise, creating an assignment of “*Municipal Court” for the Human Resources classifications is appropriate because while the primary duties remain the same as the base class, they must be performed in accordance with the requirements and under the authority of the Arizona Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC). The establishment of these classifications and assignments are proposed as follows:
Establish the classification of Court Security Officer, Job Code 80010, Salary Plan 006, Grade 325 ($16.67 - $24.29).
Reclassify position numbers and incumbents of position numbers 00093347; 00092624; 00004250; 00016069; 00092621; 00092622; 00092625; 00092626; 00092628; 00092629; 00092640; 00093113; and 00093348 to the new classification.
Establish the classification of Court Security Supervisor, Job Code 80020, Salary Plan 001, Grade 030 ($20.74 - $31.50).
Reclassify position numbers and incumbents of position numbers 00092623 and 00092627 to the new classification.
Establish the classification of Court Security Systems Manager, Job Code 80030, Salary Plan 001, Grade 036 ($27.95 - $42.49).
Reclassify position number and incumbent of position number 00009928 to the new classification.
Establish the assignment of Human Resources Aide*Municipal Court, Job Code 05022, Salary Plan 012, Grade 727 ($18.73 - $28.50).
Reclassify position number and incumbent of position number 00006117 to the new assignment.
Establish the assignment of Human Resources Analyst*Municipal Court, Job Code 05111, Salary Plan 001, Grade 031 ($21.80-$33.09).
Reclassify position number and incumbent of position number 00005431 to the new assignment.
Establish the assignment of Human Resources Officer*Municipal Court, Job Code 05221, Salary Plan 001, Grade 036 ($27.95 - $42.49).
Reclassify position number and incumbent of position number 00009205 to the new assignment.
Report
Summary
Currently, Municipal Security Guards, used throughout the City, are also used in the Municipal Court. However, that classification does not encompass the essential functions the AOC requires of Court Security Officers, including mandatory AOC 40-hour certification (which includes use-of-force training, certification to carry and use TASERs, use of metal detection devices and x-ray machines, among other areas) and the higher level duties (x-ray screening, pat downs to identify restricted items, confiscation of all illegal items including drugs and firearms) performed by court security personnel. A compensation review of other certified municipal court security job families in local jurisdictions found that the recommended grade increase for the Court Security Officer and Court Security Systems Manager reflects proper placement in the market for this job family.
It is common practice within the City of Phoenix to create assignment classifications when a classification requires some additional duties or skill level when assigned to a particular area. Creating the assignment of “*Municipal Court” for the Human Resources Aide, Analyst and Officer assigned to the Court maintains the functionality of each base class and recognizes the differences inherent in administering human resources functions within the judicial branch of government.
Financial Impact
The estimated cost of these actions for a full fiscal year, including benefits, is approximately $3,605. Funding is available in the Phoenix Municipal Court's budget.
