The fundamental reason this classification exists is to enforce parking violations by issuing parking citations to vehicles parked in violation of Montgomery’s traffic ordinances.  The essential functions are: enforces parking violations in an assigned district; assists occasionally the Traffic Division of the Montgomery Police Department in directing traffic; and performs other related or assigned duties to include, performing flag detail, maintaining assigned vehicle and escorting street sweeper vehicle.  Employees are directly supervised by a Real Property Manager.

High school diploma or GED.  Must have the ability to issue parking citations, using a hand held computer with printer after receiving instructions or on-the-job training.

Applicants must be at least 21 years of age, have a valid driver’s license or the ability to obtain a valid Alabama driver’s license prior to employment.  Must be of a good moral character and have no record of conviction of a felony, or misdemeanor involving physical violence or force, moral turpitude, or serious traffic violations.

PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: Applicants must be certified by a licensed physician designated as satisfactory by the appointing authority as in good health and physically fit for the performance of assigned duties.  A person with a disability which is covered by the ADA must be able to perform the work responsibilities of the job unaided or with the assistance of a reasonable accommodation.  The list of work responsibilities is to be used as a starting point to determine essential functions for a specific position at a specific location at a specific time.  The ADA was intended to be applied on a case-by-case basis with the understanding that one position may differ from another similar position.  The performance of non-essential functions is not optional for employees not covered under the ADA.
