DCAS has an internal system called Title Specifications Online that outlines promotional tracks for each city job title. Deputy Commissioner Porter expresses uncertainty about the specific goals of the proposed bill related to this topic.
- DCAS has information on promotional tracks readily available through Title Specifications Online.
- The council member seeks clarity on the process for expanding promotional exam eligibility to employees in comparable or related positions.
- DCAS is willing to discuss the bill further to understand its purpose regarding promotional paths.

So intro 809, which requires Decast to post an annual report on its website that describes the factors that are considered by the department when they decide to expand or not expand the eligibility for promotional exams.
1:20:47
For most vacant competitive class positions at the managerial or supervisory level.
1:20:51
Promotional exams are available to employees who currently hold a position in the direct line of promotion for that weakened title.
1:20:59
This bill would require decast to explain the decision making process behind expanding eligibility to employees who are in comparable positions to that vacant title or to employees who are currently serving in a related line of promotion, for which agencies that CCaaS have a career ladder trajectory is mapped out.
1:21:17
For example, then WebPD has career letters mapped out where an employee's upward trajectory within the agency will follow every specific structure from officer to sergeant to lieutenant to captain and so on.
1:21:29
Is there has decastored about upward trajectories and how to map that out for other agencies.

Each title in the city's portfolio there promotional track is is available in an internal system that we call title specifications online.
1:21:47
So we have that information readily available.
1:21:51
We're just a bit unclear about the goal of that particular bill, but once again, we will would love to meet and just talk through the purpose and goal of that that particular bill.

1:22:02
Yeah.
1:22:03
Absolutely.
1:22:03
I'm happy to have the conversation line.
1:22:05
I think the intent and the spirit is really to provide information so that folks know this is the clear path within this title, and this is something that I can aspire to.
1:22:16
Right?
1:22:16
But we can certainly have those conversations
