Status Update on Project
Class Comp Project is pausing focus groups and subject matter expert meetings to do an internal process reevaluation based on feedback and information acquired so far.
Class Comp Committee will follow up with more details about an info session in the coming weeks. In the meantime, status quo of the current contract continues to remain in effect.
Goals:
- Committee: Update the Classification system to one that better reflecgts the actual work of members.
- Committee: Draft classification specifications for each classification in CPPW that are an improvement over the current class specs.
- CPPW: Engage members in every step of the process to bring voices and experiences to the City’s bureaucracy.
- CPPW: Tools for working out of class enforcement, reclass requests, and more career pathways.
Class Comp Process: How We Got to This Place
- 2018 Reclassfication by HR and outside consultants with virtually no engagement that led to current system.
- Evergreen Consultants paid $750,000 to develop a classification proposal in 2024. The proposal is relatively unhelpful and did not create the strong foundation for this project that they promised.
- CCC Committee with HR and CPPW formed to sort this out and work towards above goals.
- CPPW hosted focused groups and did surveys to pull in more information from the members to develop class system and specs.
- With current feedback, CCC is doing internal work to reevaluate our process and approach, pivot some of our assumptions, develop core documents, find agreement on next steps with HR.
What this means for you:
- Continue to participate when asked. It will be a moment before we reach out again because we are pausing engagement while we reassess. We want to make the best use of your time!
- Look for informational session invite in February.
- Know that we have a contract that protects us and will be in place until this work is finalized and implemented.
