Title
AN ACT CONCERNING THE CLASSIFICATION PLAN FOR PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY for the purpose of adding and amending classes of work to the Classification Plan of the County.
Background
This Bill is being submitted pursuant to Section 903 of Article IX of the Charter and Section 16-125 (a) of Subtitle 16 of the County Code. This legislation will add/amend the Prince George’s County Classification Plan for four (4) single position classes of work: Police Chief, Assistant Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Deputy Chief, Fire/EMS Department. The Office of Human Resources Management (OHRM) conducted an analysis of pay, job duties, and responsibilities of the Chief of the Police and Fire/EMS Departments as well as the second in command positions within the Police and Fire/EMS Departments. The review assessed and evaluated the duties, tasks, and responsibilities of the classes of work, as well as determine if the rates of pay for the positions were competitive and supported the County’s ability to attract and retain qualified individuals. The Director of OHRM recommends proposed changes to the Classification Plan for Prince George’s County as a result of the requested classification review.
A fiscal impact will be provided by the Office of Management and Budget.
