Sec. 4.145. Responsibility of Board of Civil Service Commissioners. (a) Whenever one or more new positions are to be established, or whenever, because of any change in organization or method, a significant change in the duties or responsibilities of any existing position is to be made which requires the amendment of the classification plan, such revision and amendment of the classification plan shall be made in the manner as provided under Section 1003 of the Charter.

Thereupon, the General Manager of the Personnel Department shall make a study of the duties and responsibilities of any such position and of the qualifications required for filling the same, and of the relationship of such positions to other classes of positions in the classification plan, and shall report to said Board of Civil Service Commissioners the General Manager’s recommendations involving any amendment or change in the classification plan. Said Board of Civil Service Commissioners shall thereupon determine what changes, if any, in the classification plan will be required as a result of the proposal of such appointing authority, either by changing the title of any existing class, or by establishing a new class, or by dividing, combining, altering, or abolishing any existing class in the classification plan.

The General Manager of the Personnel Department, upon written request of any appointing authority or of any member, or upon the General Manager’s own initiative, after consultation with the department concerned, may recommend the allocation of any existing position to a different class in the classification plan, either because of a previous error in allocation, or because of a significant change in the duties and responsibilities, or because of the creation of a new class to which such position may more appropriately be allocated, or because of the abolishment or combination of any existing positions, or may recommend any change in the existing classes, necessary to maintain the classification plan in conformity with the provisions of Section 1003 of the Charter. The report and recommendation of said General Manager shall be submitted for action to the Board of Civil Service Commissioners which shall hold a public hearing thereon and shall determine what modifications or amendments, if any, should be made in the classification plan.
