[12. 25-54584 Recommendation to receive and file the Civil Service FY2024 Budget Year-End Closing Presentation. Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ]
UH, COMMISSIONER COLEMAN.SO WE WILL TAKE THAT UP AT OUR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED MEETING, BRINGING US TO ITEM 13, A RECOMMENDATION TO EXTEND NON-CAREER HOURS FOR ELIJAH LANDON, AN ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN WHO'S NON-CAREER.
CAN I GET A MOTION? AND A SECOND? WE HAVE A MOTION.
[13. 25-54585 Recommendation to extend non-career hours for Elijah Landin, Administrative Intern-NC. Suggested Action: Approve recommendation. ]
STEPHANIECORRESPONDENCE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM JAIME GARCIA, ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICER FOR THE LONG BEACH UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, REQUESTING CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION APPROVAL TO EXTEND THE NON-CAREER HOURS FOR ELIJAH.
LANDON CURRENTLY EMPLOYED AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN NON-CAREER WITH THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT.
STAFF HAS REVIEWED THE REQUEST AND RECOMMENDS APPROVAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE FIVE, SECTION 49 OF THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND CIVIL SER SERVICE POLICY SECTION 2.32, WHICH STATES THAT A DEPARTMENT MAY REQUEST AN EXTENSION OF A NON-CAREER EMPLOYEE APPOINTMENT IF THE EXTENSION IS DEEMED NECESSARY FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF FUNCTION.
IN HIS ROLE OF ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN NON-CAREER IN THE UTILITIES DEPARTMENT, MR. LANDON, UH, PROVIDES DESKTOP AND HELP DESK SUPPORT, RESPONDING TO USER REQUEST SERVICE REQUESTS, TROUBLESHOOTING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ISSUES, PERFORMS REP REPAIRS TO EQUIPMENT, IDENTIFYING AND REPORTING ISSUES, UH, SYSTEM ISSUES TO VENDORS, AND PROVIDING USER TRAINING FOR ONBOARDING AND BASIC HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE USE.
IN THE CHART BEFORE YOU, YOU'LL SEE THAT HE HAS WORKED 1,557 HOURS AS OF JANUARY 23RD, 2026, AND HE HAS 43 HOURS LEFT BEFORE REACHING THE 16 HOUR THRESHOLD.
THE DEPARTMENT IS REQUESTING 320 HOURS AND GRANTING THE ADDITIONAL HOURS TO MR. LANDON WILL ALLOW THE DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE CRITICAL TASK THAT MR. LANDON COMPLETES, SUCH AS ENSURING THAT THE HELP DESK SERVICES, USER TRAINING AND TROUBLESHOOTING RESPONSIBILITIES CONTINUE SMOOTHLY AND ALLOWING FOR UNINTERRUPTED SUPPORT ACROSS THE DEPARTMENT.
MR. LANDON HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS REQUEST IS ON TODAY'S AGENDA, AND OUR REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE DEPARTMENT IS AVAILABLE FOR ANY QUESTIONS.
I I HAVE A QUESTION AND, AND I'M SORRY.
THERE'S TWO AGENDA ITEMS THAT INVOLVE, UM, EXTENDING FOLKS WITH NON-CAREER.
UM, IS THIS, AND SO HE'S THE, UH, WE'RE EXTENDING BEING ASKED TO EXTEND HIS HOURS, UH, BECAUSE THIS IS A FUNCTION THAT CONTINUES TO BE NEEDED.
IS THERE, IS THERE A SEARCH HAPPENING FOR FOLKS TO DO THIS WORK? SOMETHING? I HAVE THE DEPARTMENT HERE,
HI, GOOD MORNING, COMMISSIONERS.
SO IN THIS DIVISION SPECIFICALLY, THERE HAS BEEN SOME TURNOVER AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL.
AND CURRENTLY WE'RE ACTUALLY, UH, CONCLUDING A RECRUITMENT FOR THE DIRECTOR OVER THIS, UH, SPECIFIC DIVISION.
THERE HAS BEEN DIRECTIVE FROM OUR GENERAL MANAGER TO NOT FILL THE POSITIONS THAT HAVE, THAT HAVE REMAINED VACANT WITHIN THIS DIVISION UNTIL THAT NEW EXECUTIVE, UH, IS, IS ONBOARDED.
THAT WAY THEY CAN BUILD OUT THEIR OWN TEAM AND THEN STRUCTURE IT ACCORDINGLY.
MEANWHILE, WHILE THAT'S HAPPENING, UH, MR. LANDON ELI, UH, YOU KNOW, HAS BEEN WITH US SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2023.
HE STARTED OFF AS A PACIFIC GATEWAY
[00:25:01]
INTERN AND HAS WORKED HIS WAY, YOU KNOW, THROUGH AND EARNED HIS, UH, POSITION NOW AS AN ADMIN INTERN, WHICH HE WAS PROMOTED TO LAST YEAR ON APRIL 23RD THIS YEAR.UM, YOU KNOW, DUE TO THE FACT OF JUST THE VERY VARIOUS TASKS THAT HE'S ASSIGNED TO AND THAT HE SUPPORTS THE, THE DIVISION WITH, THERE WASN'T REALLY A GOOD PLAN IN TERMS OF LIKE SETTING HIS HOURS AND EXPECTATIONS CONSISTENTLY.
SOMETIMES THERE WOULD BE A HIGHER NEED AND, YOU KNOW, SOME WEEKS HE'D BE WORKING MORE HOURS THAN HE WOULD HAVE PREVIOUSLY.
SO FOR US, IT WAS, UM, IT'S A, IT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO KIND OF LIKE WORK WITH THE NEW, THE SUPERVISOR WHO HAD NOT HAD A, A NON-CAREER AND NOT HAD TO MANAGE THOSE HOURS BEFORE.
AND THEN FOR US TO LOOK INTERNALLY AND SEE HOW WE CAN BETTER, UH, TRACK THOSE AND THEN SUPPORT THOSE EMPLOYEES SO THAT WAY THEY DON'T GET INTO THIS POSITION WHERE THERE'S ONLY 43 HOURS REMAINING BEFORE HE, UH, YOU KNOW, BEFORE HE EX UH, EXPIRES THOSE HOURS.
UM, AND I WILL SAY THAT WE ALSO DID RECEIVE THAT, THAT FEEDBACK AND THAT INFORMATION FROM CIVIL SERVICE STAFF THAT WAS COMMUNICATED TO US BY LEVI.
SO WE ARE LOOKING AT SETTING THOSE INTERNAL, UM, STANDARDS AND METRICS TO, UH, SUPPORT OUR EMPLOYEES IN OUR DIVISION.
SORRY, I THINK THOSE ARE A LONGER ANSWER THAT YOU MIGHT'VE ASKED FOR.
NO, I APPRECIATE THE INFORMATION.
UM, COMMISSIONERS, ANY, YES, CHIEF, UH, IS THAT EXECUTIVE ROLE, THE BUSINESS SYSTEM SPECIALIST ONE THROUGH SEVEN? UH, NO, SIR.
UH, COMMISSIONER THAT IS, UH, THE, THAT IS THE ACTUAL, LIKE, UM, NOT, UM, BUT THAT, THAT'S LIKE THE, THE MEAT OF THE STAFF IN THAT DIVISION IS THAT CLASSIFICATION.
THOSE ARE THE ONES WHO WOULD BE DOING THE HIGHER LEVEL WORK THAT ELI CURRENTLY WOULD BE SUPPORTING.
UH, AND THEN OTHER BSS UH, SO BUSINESS SYSTEM SPECIALISTS DO WORK LIKE, YOU KNOW, AS IN THEY WORK IN CYBERSECURITY, THEY MANAGE GIS, THEY, UM, THEY HANDLE ALL NETWORK ADMINISTRATION SOFTWARE, UH, DOWNLOAD AND, AND, AND PROGRAM RIGHTS.
UH, THE EXECUTIVE POSITION THAT I'M REFERRING TO IS THE DIRECTOR OF MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS, WHICH IS OUR MIS DIVISION, OR WOULD BE EQUITABLE TO LIKE THE TID, BUT THE SATELLITE VERSION AT UTILITIES.
I'M STILL LEARNING SOME OF THESE.
I PREVIOUSLY, I I THOUGHT WE WERE TOLD THAT IF THERE WAS A ROLE THAT WAS, UM, THAT WAS POSTED AND BEING RECRUITMENT, THERE WAS AROUND 60 BUSINESS DAYS TO, UH, CEASE, UM, AN INTERIM ROLE BECAUSE HE ONLY SUPPORTS THESE, UM, CLASSIFICATIONS.
DOES HE NOT FALL INTO THAT 60 DAYS? BECAUSE WE IT IN THEORY, SINCE IT'S A NINE MONTH EXTENSION.
SO I, I THINK I'M, I'M SEEING WHAT YOU'RE, WHAT YOU'RE ASKING.
SO I'LL ADDRESS THE, THE EXTENSION PART FIRST AND THEN, UH, ADDRESS THE REST OF THE QUESTION.
SO HIS EXTENSION IN, IN TERMS OF THIS CASE IS ONLY FOR IN A, A SET AMOUNT OF HOURS BECAUSE HIS, THE REST OF THE NON-CAREER HOURS AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ON THEIR ANNUAL, UM, ANNIVERSARY.
UH, THE FIRST PART OF THAT IS THAT WE HAVE INTENDED TO TRY AND, AND HELP MR. LANDON, YOU KNOW, OBTAIN A CLASSIFIED SERVICE POSITION, UH, WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO STATE IN REGARDS TO THE FACT THAT, YOU KNOW, HE, WE HAVE SEEN HIS PROGRESSION CAREER WISE FROM YEAH, PACIFIC GATEWAY INTERN TO EARNING A PROMOTION AND THEN A, UH, AND THEN AN ADMINISTRATIVE INTERN POSITION ON CAREER WITH THE DEPARTMENT.
AND THEN THE GOAL HAS BEEN EVENTUALLY TO TRY AND HELP HIM DEVELOP AND THEN, YOU KNOW, UH, OBTAIN A POSITION AS EITHER A BSS OR AS ANOTHER, UH, FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT WITHIN THE CITY.
THE CHALLENGE WITH, UH, MR. LAND'S POSITION, OR HIS CASE SPECIFICALLY, IS THAT HE STILL IS WORKING THROUGH HIS BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
SO UNFORTUNATELY HE DOESN'T MEET THE MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS FOR THE BSS, OTHERWISE, WE WOULD'VE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF, OF HIM GOING FOR THAT POSITION AND THEN HAVING HIM BE IN CONSIDERATION FOR A FULL-TIME ROLE IN THAT CLASSIFICATION.
UH, WE DO EXPECT HIM TO GRADUATE WITH HIS BA IN THE NEXT YEAR OR YEAR AND A HALF, DEPENDING ON HIS COURSE LOAD AND HIS ABILITY TO, YOU KNOW, UH, YOU KNOW, PASS THOSE CLASSES.
UH, BUT WE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT, THAT END GOAL.
AND WE DO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE DO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT HIM IN, IN REGARDS TO HIS, UH, HIS EDUCATION.
THAT JUST RAISED ONE MORE QUESTION FOR ME.
UM, YOU KNOW, I'VE SEEN, AND THIS JUST, THIS COMES FROM, AND I THINK YOU MENTIONED THAT LEVI HAS ALSO EXPRESSED, I THINK THE COMMISSION HAS, AND I WILL SPEAK ONLY FOR MYSELF, BUT I DEFINITELY HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN ABOUT EXTENDING, UH, NON-CAREER HOURS.
UH, UH, BUT YOU KNOW, I, I THINK IN REVIEWING EVEN IN, IN THIS AGENDA, THERE WAS, THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETIMES OPPORTUNITIES TO ADD, UH, INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE THAT IF SOMEONE HAS BEEN ON THE JOB FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, UM, AND CONTINUING EDUCATION, UM, IS THERE A REASON THAT FOR THIS, UH, BUSINESS SYSTEM SPECIALIST CLASSIFICATION, EVEN FOR ONE, THERE COULDN'T BE THE INCLUSIVE LANGUAGE OF THE TIME ON THE JOB, PLUS CONTINUING EDUCATION.
[00:30:01]
THAT'S A, THAT'S A GOOD SUGGESTION.AND, UH, THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING I'D HAVE TO SPEAK TO.
CIVIL SERVICE ANALYST ABOUT, UH, NOT SOMETHING THAT WE HAD CONSIDERED IN THAT SENSE, UH, BECAUSE MOSTLY WE TRY TO OPERATE WITHIN THE DISTRICTS OF THE CLASSIFICATIONS AS THEY ARE, AS THEY EXIST.
UH, HOWEVER, YES, SOME CLASSIFICATIONS DO ALLOW FOR, YOU KNOW, UM, A PROBATIONARY PERIOD WITHIN WHICH TIME, IF THEY'RE NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN AN, UH, A DEGREE OR, YOU KNOW, PASS OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR PROBATION, THEN THEY COULD BE LET GO.
BUT WE, UM, KNOWING HIS, HIS TIMELINE SPECIFICALLY AND BEING A YEAR OUT SIX MONTH PROBATION PERIOD, STILL, HE WOULDN'T MAKE THAT IN TERMS OF THAT TIMELINE.
BUT IT IS AN OPTION THAT WE CAN CONSIDER MOVING FORWARD.
I, I JUST WANT, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES THAT MIGHT COME UP IN OTHER CITIES, AND I ALWAYS WANNA KEEP, IF THERE'S TALENT THAT'S WORKING WELL, HAS BEEN WITH THE CITY, RIGHT? UM, GETTING THAT INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE.
I JUST ALWAYS WANT TO KEEP THE TALENT IN-HOUSE AND, UM, WORKING FOR THE CITY OF LONG BEACH.
AND SO IF THERE'S OPPORTUNITIES TO EXTEND AND OR PROVIDE SOME, UM, OTHER OPPORTUNITIES FOR FOLKS THAT HAVE BEEN WORKING WELL IN THE CITY, UM, JUST TO GIVE THOSE OPPORTUNITIES.
SO THOSE, THOSE ARE MY ONLY CONCERNS.
NO, I APPRECIATE YOUR PERSPECTIVE, COMMISSIONER.
AND, AND YEAH, THAT CONTRIBUTION COMMISSIONER CORDERO.
I, I HAVE A REAL FONDNESS FOR INTERNS.
UM, WE HAVE AN INTERN AT THE LONG BEACH UTILITIES WHO, UH, WAS THERE AS AN INTERN, I BELIEVE FROM CAL STATE LONG BEACH, UM, WHO IS NOW EMPLOYED WITH US.
UM, ALONG THE LINE, WE NEEDED A REDO OUR, WHEN WE, WHEN WE CONSOLIDATED, WE NEED TO, NEEDED TO REDO OUR LOGO.
THIS INTERN CAME UP WITH OUR LOGO, SAVED US QUITE A BIT OF DOLLARS, BUT IT ALSO JUST MADE IT SO, SO IMPORTANT THAT SOMEONE THAT CAME IN AS AN INTERN WAS ABLE TO DO THIS FOR US, AND, UM, WE'RE VERY, VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE.
AND JESSIE DID A GREAT JOB ON THAT.
SO I'M VERY HIGH ON INTERNS FOR SEVERAL REASONS, AND ONE OF 'EM IS BECAUSE, AS YOU MENTIONED, YOU KEEP THE TALENT IN THE HOUSE.
UM, AND ALSO THE THIRD THING WOULD BE THE PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE CREATED, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THE UNIVERSITIES OR OUR UNIVERSITY LONG BEACH OR GATEWAY.
I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT ALSO, AND HAVING THAT VEHICLE TO PROVIDE, UH, THE PEOPLE THAT WE NEED WHO WILL BE IN-HOUSE AND LOYAL TO THE CITY.
SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOOD WORK ON THAT.
I'M ALWAYS THRILLED WHEN THE CITY, SOMEBODY COMES TO US AS AN INTERN AND THEY DO A GREAT JOB AND WE END UP HIRING THEM.
WE AT THE PORT, OUR, OUR CHIEF HARBOR ENGINEER STARTED AS AN INTERN.
SO I'M ALWAYS REALLY HAPPY WHEN PEOPLE, WE LIKE THEM, THEY LIKE US, AND THEY, THEY STAY.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS ON THIS ITEM? IF NOT, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
I DID WANNA ADD, I DID WANNA ADD SOMETHING IN TERMS OF THE MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS, I THINK TO COMMISSIONER, UM, CHIEF WAS MENTIONING.
UM, SO WE DO HAVE, IN MANY OF OUR BULLETINS, WE HAVE A SUBSTITUTION OPTION, SO THAT'S A VEHICLE OF ENTRY AS WELL, WHERE YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE YOUR BACHELOR'S, BUT YOU CAN SUBSTITUTE THE EXPERIENCE.
SO WE TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN WE'RE ASSESSING THE MQS, THE MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS FOR MANY OF OUR BULLETINS.
AND THEN SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, THERE IS, UM, A LADDER FOR THE, THE A CAREER LADDER.
SO I KNOW WE HAVE SYSTEMS TECHNICIAN, I DON'T KNOW THE MQS, UM, OFF, OFF THAT, BUT THEY MIGHT BE, UM, YOU KNOW, UM, LESSER IT, IT MIGHT BE AN EASIER ENTRY THAT WAY VERSUS SYSTEMS TECH.
I DON'T KNOW THOSE, UM, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD EITHER.
BUT WE, WE DO OFFER THE SUBSTITUTION OPTION IN ORDER TO ALLOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE BUT DON'T HAVE THAT EDUCATION TO COME INTO THE, UM, POSITION.
THAT EXCUSE ME, UH, BRINGS US TO ITEM 14, A RECOMMENDATION TO EXTEND NON-CAREER HOURS FOR ARLENE.
AND FORGIVE ME IF I'M GONNA SAY YOUR NAME WRONG, MAN.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE THE SAME SENSITIVITY AND CERTAINLY WE TRAIN OUR STAFF TO, SO I WOULD, I WOULD, I WOULD ASK THAT DEFINITELY.
WE DO HAVE A MAKEUP SESSION COMING UP IN THE NEXT MONTH OR SO.
SO WE'LL KEEP YOU ON THE LOOP TO SEE IF YOU'LL BE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THE ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER REPORTS? STEPHANIE, DID YOU WANNA DO ANYTHING FOR ESD OR, OKAY, WE'RE GOOD, THANK YOU.
AND THEN, UH, JUST TO CLOSE THE LOOP ON THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM, UM, I STARTED MY CAREER IN, IN AS AN INTERN.
I WANTED TO BE AN AIRPLANE, UH, PILOT, RIGHT? 2003, I GOT AN INTERNSHIP WITH SANTANA AND LOOK AT ME 20 YEARS LATER.
I DUNNO IF THAT'S A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING, BUT HERE I AM,
I CAN TELL YOU IT'S A GREAT THING.
I HOPE FOR YOU, UH, COMMISSIONERS.
ANY QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THE REPORTS OR INFORMATION WE RECEIVED? ALRIGHT, SEEING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.
UH, NOW IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE PUBLIC TO ADDRESS THE CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION ON ANY NON AGENDA ITEMS. ARE THERE ANY MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT WISH TO ADDRESS THE COMMISSION? SEEING NONE, THAT TAKES US TO ANNOUNCEMENTS.
[PUBLIC COMMENT Opportunity to address the Civil Service Commission on non-agenda items. ]
COMMISSIONERS, ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? SEEING NONE, I BELIEVE THAT TAKES US TO ADJOURNMENT AND WE WILL ADJOURN THE MEETING AT NINE 50.[ANNOUNCEMENTS]
