The posting includes:

We need to decide sections.
We have responsibilities (list of duties). We have requirements/experience (EXPERIENCE). We have qualifications (license). We have skills (highly desirable). We have benefits? There's mention of wage increases and retirement enrollment; those could be considered benefits/compensation. The instruction: include Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does mention future wage increases and retirement enrollment. That's compensation/benefits info. It also mentions unusual work schedules (Schedule). So we could have a Benefits section (wage increases, retirement). Also a Schedule section (unusual work schedules). Pay section? It mentions wage increases but not base pay. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state wage increases (future) and retirement enrollment. That's compensation/benefits. So we could have a Benefits section covering that. Pay section maybe not because no base pay given. Schedule section: yes, unusual work schedules mentioned.
We also have About the role? Could combine responsibilities as About the role? But we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We can include About the role (maybe a brief summary). The posting includes a paragraph describing the role at start: "Grounds Maintenance Worker II positions work at parks, recreation centers and other City facilities to perform a variety of grounds and facility maintenance duties such as ..." That's essentially responsibilities. Could treat that as About the role (summary) and then Responsibilities as detailed list. But we must not create filler sections. We have substantive content for both.

That's essentially responsibilities. Could treat that as About the role (summary) and then Responsibilities as detailed list. But we must not create filler sections. We have substantive content for both.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn the responsibilities into a list. Also experience requirements into list. Also maybe qualifications (license) as list? Could be a single item.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The posting includes "See NOTES below for future wage increases and/or additional compensation opportunities." That's not boilerplate; it's a note about compensation. Also "APPLICANTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING RELATED RECRUITMENT(S): Grounds Maintenance Worker I" maybe that's not needed? It's referencing related recruitment; could be considered boilerplate? It's not about the job itself. Might be considered metadata; we could drop it as it's not substantive about the role. The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can drop the line about related recruitment.
We need to keep notes about wage increases, retirement enrollment, physical requirements, schedule, experience, license, highly desirable.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
Grounds Maintenance Worker II positions work at parks, recreation centers and other City facilities to perform a variety of grounds and facility maintenance duties.
Then responsibilities list.
Responsibilities
- plant and replace shrubs, flowers, turf and trees
- clean and maintain parks, campgrounds and recreational areas by removing weeds, debris and trash
- edge, fertilize, water, mow, prune and trim park landscapes
- perform minor maintenance and repair of irrigation systems
- clean and maintain buildings and other facilities, including mopping, sweeping, waxing, dusting and similar tasks
- set up facilities for multiple types of functions, including meetings, dances, conferences, or other events
- perform minor painting, including the removal of graffiti
- perform minor construction and maintenance work such as the placement and repair of benches and picnic tables
- perform daily inspections of assigned areas for safety hazards and complete written inspection forms
- report necessary repairs and significant maintenance needs, outside of scope of grounds maintenance work to supervisors and others
- may lead the work of assigned workers and volunteers
- drive a pick-up truck or other vehicle to job sites with equipment and supplies
- maintain and prepare athletic fields and sports areas
- clean and disinfect restrooms, and comfort stations at parks and/or recreation centers
- install memorial markers, set concrete monument foundations and assist in interment tasks at Mount Hope Cemetery
- prepare reports
- perform other duties as assigned
Then Requirements/Experience.
We could have Requirements
with experience details.
But we also have Qualifications (license). Could combine.
Better: Experience Requirements
with list.
But the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should use those exact headings where applicable.
Thus:
Requirements
for experience.
Qualifications
for license.
Skills
for highly desirable.
Benefits
for wage increases and retirement enrollment.
Schedule
for unusual work schedules.
We also need to include physical requirements (lifting, bending) maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? Could be part of Requirements (physical demands). We'll include in Requirements list.
We must not create Pay section because no base pay.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information.
Let's extract details:
From notes:
- Employees in job classifications represented by AFSME Local 127 are scheduled to receive the following general wage increases: 3.5% effective 7/1/27 2% effective 7/1/282% effective 1/1/29 (note formatting: "2% effective 7/1/282% effective 1/1/29" seems missing space; but we keep as is.)
- Eligible benefitted employees originally hired on or after July 10, 2021, will be automatically enrolled in the San Diego City Employees Retirement System (SDCERS).
- Grounds Maintenance Worker II employees may be required to bend and stoop repeatedly and lift and carry items weighing up to 60 pounds.
- Grounds Maintenance Worker II employees assigned to work at Mt. Hope Cemetery may be required to lift ground tamps, metal frames for burial graves and memorial markers that weigh between 75 to 100 pounds.

- Notes: If self-employment is used to qualify,
or drop it." So we can drop the line about related recruitment. We need to keep notes about wage increases, retirement enrollment, physical requirements, schedule, experience, license, highly desirable. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:
