4:15 We have two reports for your consideration this afternoon.
4:19 The first report is a new and change position report.
4:23 There are four titles in this report.
4:27 The first is a repurpose of a vacant management Civil Engineer senior in pay range 1 KX.

4:56 Third is a title change only of Emergency Response Planning Director to Public Health Emergency Preparedness Director.
5:06 And then the last in that report is a title change of self-help yard supervisor in pay range 1EX to drop off center supervisor.
5:19 And again, that has no change in classification.

5:36 These are some additional positions that uh departments asked us to look at related to that report.

7:38 The reports include five positions in four departments where recommended change is not based on a change in duties, and so no new probationary period is recommended.
