SUBJECT:
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
BILL HUSTON, CITY MANAGER
AUTHORIZATION TO CREATE POSITION CLASSIFICATION OF
ASSISTANT PLANNER
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council authorize creation of the position classification of
Assistant Planner (salary range of $1,522 to $1,850) in the Community
Development Department.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Services Assistant retired effective May 1, 1982. This position
is responsible for zoning code enforcement and gathering, maintaining and
formating population and other data for the Community Development
Department. Prior to the retirement of the Public Services Assistant, it
had been decided to place business license enforcement in the Community
Development Department, thereby consolidating zoning and business license
enforcement which often deal with the same situation.
DISCUSSION:
It is staff's recommendation that the Public Services Assistant
classification be eliminated. In lieu of this classification, the entry
level classification of Assistant Planner would be created at a salary
savings of $228 per month. While the Assistant Planner would be
principally responsible for code enforcement and statistical research,
these functions would also be performed by other Community Development
staff in a backup capacity. This approach provides greater flexibility in
assignment of tasks, backup support and avoids the inherent problems
associated with a single specialized classification.
Assistant Planner is the standard entry level classification used in most
cities. The salary range is based upon the Council approved criteria in
establishing salary ranges for City employees.
