Department: Human Resources
Introduced by: Former Mayor Ted Wheeler
Status: Passed

Impact statement

Purpose & background

The Portland Bureau of Transportation seeks to create a new classification of Streetcar Maintenance Supervisor that reflects the specialized skills and knowledge required for these positions. These positions are responsible for directly performing the most advanced maintenance procedures on Streetcar and related assets, as well as supervising a team that includes TriMet employees. The level of specialization and hands-on work required of these positions is not captured by their current classification of Maintenance Supervisor I - Exempt.

Financial impacts

There is no direct cost to create the new classification. The Streetcar Maintenance Supervisor aligns with existing salary grade 57 which currently has a range of $33.76 to $56.15 hourly / $70,220.80 to $116,792.00 annual full time. This is the same pay grade as the Maintenance Supervisor I – Exempt where the positions performing this work are currently assigned.

Community impacts

This action is largely internal to City government processes.
