Distinguishing Features of the Class
The principal function of an employee in this class is to serve as a central communication point within the assigned City department and to provide service to customers both in person, via the telephone or any other electronic means as well as providing clerical and administrative support functions to office personnel. The work is performed under the direct supervision of an assigned supervisor but considerable leeway is granted for the exercise of independent judgement and initiative. The nature of the work performed requires that an employee in this class establishes and maintains effective working relationships with all customers, City employees, business and community organizations and the public. The principal duties of this class are performed in a general office environment. Inasmuch as certain departments must regularly operate seven (7) days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day, some employee’s may be required to work on holidays, week-ends, and during hours other than traditional business hours.
