Title
AN ACT CONCERNING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN FOR PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY for the purpose of adding a class title and grade for a certain class of work and upgrading existing classes of work.
Background
This Bill is submitted pursuant to Section 903 of Article IX of the Prince George’s County Charter and Section 16-125(a) of the Prince George’s County Code. It proposes to add the Public Information Officer class series and amend the Emergency Dispatch Aide and Emergency Dispatcher class series.
A classification study was conducted which revealed the following amendments and additions needed to be made to the Classification Plan: (1) the Emergency Dispatch Aide and Emergency Dispatcher class series should be amended to include relevant duties, certifications, and changes in class title to best reflect the class of work; (2) a supervisor level needs to be added to the Emergency Dispatch Aide class series (Public Safety Emergency Call Taker III); and (3) a Public Information Officer class series needs to be added to the County’s Classification Plan to accommodate a growing need within the County, and to reduce the use of the Administrative Assistant class of work.
The proposed legislation implements these changes. The fiscal impact will be provided by the Office of Management and Budget.
