RECOMMENDATION: That the Village Board approve a resolution amending the
2001 Salary Plan reclassifying the Civil Engineer II position from Pay Grade 9 to
Pay Grade 8.
That the Village Board approve a resolution amending the 2001 Fair Labor
Standards Act Policy to include the Civil Engineer II and the Civil Engineer I
positions among those considered exempt from the wage and hour provisions of the
Act.
That the Village Board adopt an ordinance amending Article IV, Section 3 B 1 of ;
the Village of Oak Brook Personnel Manual to reflect the classification of the Civil
Engineer II and Civil Engineer I positions as FLSA exempt.
Staff has re- evaluated the necessary qualifications for the Civil Engineer II position in light of
the vacancy occasioned by the retirement of the fob incumbent. Currently, both the Village
Engineer and the Civil Engineer II are required to be registered as "Professionaj Engineers"
(P E ). We do not believe that it is necessary to have two staff members maintain such
registration, and as a result, have changed the Civil Engineer II fob description to no longer
require it
The re- evaluation ofjob qualifications has resulted in a re- classification from Pay Grade 9 to Pay
Grade 8 The attached resolution reflects that change
Additionally, we are recommending that the Civil Engineer II and Civil Engineer I positions be
included among those positions considered to be exempt from the wage and hour provisions of
the Fair Labor Standards Act. The FLSA provides for professional exemptions for certain types
of employees, including Civil Engineers. It is common to exempt Engineers from the wage and
hour provisions of the FLSA such that payment for hours in excess of 40 is not required
Currently, the Civil Engineer I position is vacant, and as such there is no impact on any existing
employee.

FLSA.
