(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.
(b) Whenever the appointing authority proposes that a new position be created or that a significant change be made in the duties and responsibilities of an existing position, such appointing authority shall forthwith report the significant facts to the Board of Civil Service Commissioners in the manner prescribed by said Board. 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. Said Board of Civil Service Commissioners shall then transmit its findings and recommendations to the City Council and shall transmit a copy thereof concurrently to the Director of the Office of Administrative and Research Services.
