Arborist III Examination

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate, navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. The posting includes: - Description: ARBORIST III Examination(OPEN) CS2026-122 Application Open Date: 09/28/2026 Application Close Date: 10/12/2026 SALARY: $33.86 - $38.66 per hour. - APPLICATION INFORMATION (but we remove application instructions). However we need to keep maybe the salary info (Pay). Also maybe the application open/close dates? Those are metadata; we can fold into a short

or drop. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a paragraph with application dates. - Then "Examples of Duties Job Duties Under general supervision..." This is responsibilities. - Then bullet list of duties with percentages. - Then Minimum Qualifications section. - Then Supplemental Information (Preferred Skills). - Then CMSD Preference Credit, Veterans' Preference (these are maybe part of qualifications? They are preferences, could be under Qualifications or maybe separate but we can include under Qualifications as extra notes. - Then "The City's guiding principles..." that's boilerplate? It's not EEO but maybe we can keep as part of About the role? It's generic but maybe we can keep as part of About the role? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The guiding principles might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to City. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role? However it's not directly about the role. Safer to drop it as it's generic. - Also "We are an equal opportunity employer..." drop. - "The City of Cleveland makes available a variety of benefit options..." This is Benefits info. We need to include Benefits section if there is real specific content. It says: benefit options include comprehensive medical, dental, vision, prescription medical and life insurance. Specific information regarding benefit eligibility will be discussed and reviewed at the time of hire. That's somewhat generic but still specific benefits. We can include Benefits section with that info. - Pay: we have salary range. - Schedule: not mentioned explicitly; maybe not include Schedule section. - About the role: we could summarize the role description: field supervisor within Division of Urban Forestry, etc. That's from the duties. Could be About the role. - Responsibilities: we have the detailed duties list. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to include based on content. We have: - About the role: we can write a short paragraph describing the role (field supervisor, etc.) - Responsibilities: the list of duties with percentages. - Requirements: maybe the Minimum Qualifications (valid CDL, 5 years experience, etc.) - Qualifications: maybe the Preferred Skills (Supplemental Information) and preferences (CMSD, Veterans). Could be under Qualifications or Skills. The instruction says we can have Skills section for specific skills like SRT climbing, CTSP, Crew Leader Qualification. So we can put Preferred Skills under Skills. - Benefits: the benefit options. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: not present, so omit. We must not repeat the job title as a heading. So no

Arborist III

. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use

for each section heading, then content: either

for prose,

• for lists. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the percentages etc. Let's extract details: About the role: Could be derived from "Under general supervision, serves as a field supervisor within the Division of Urban Forestry. Provides day-to-day leadership to arborist crews, ensuring high-quality tree care, safe work practices, and consistent operational performance. Supports staff development; assigns schedules and oversees workflow; monitors work activities and inspects completed work to ensure compliance with established standards. Manages tools and supply inventories; maintains facility standards; and coordinates training and mentorship for field staff. Performs skilled arboriculture work alongside crews approximately fifty percent of the time to support operations, ensure continuity of services, and model best practices.

  • . Skills: Preferred Skills (Supplemental Information): - Single Rope Technique (SRT) climbing experience - Certified Tree Safety Professional (CTSP) - Crew Leader Qualification through Tree Care Industry Association Also maybe CMSD Preference Credit and Veterans' Preference could be under Qualifications? But they are preferences not skills. Could be under Qualifications as additional notes. However we already have Requirements for minimum qualifications; we could add a Qualifications section for preferred qualifications (like CMSD, Veterans). But the instruction says we can have Qualifications section. Let's treat Qualifications as preferred qualifications (CMSD, Veterans). Or we could put them under Skills? No, they are not skills. Better to put them under Qualifications as additional qualifications (preferences). We'll keep them as list. Thus: Qualifications: - Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD) graduates receive 5-point preference credit upon passing score, must provide proof of graduation. - Veterans' preference: 5 points for honorable/general discharge; 10 points for >15% service-connected disability; proof via DD Form 214.

    under maybe About the role? But better to have a small paragraph at top: "Application open: 09/28/2026 – 10/12/2026." Not a heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition as heading; we can fold into a short

    . We'll include a paragraph: "Application Open Date: 09/28/2026; Application Close Date: 10/12/2026." Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: remove EEO, equal opportunity, guiding principles, etc. Now produce HTML:

    Application Open Date: 09/28/2026; Application Close Date: 10/12/2026.
