FY24-25 Mid-Year Budget Update, Appropriation Requests, and Workforce Changes March 4,2025 Page 13 4 8 6 7 The compensation changes will create internal equity between similar engineering classifications in the City between the Public Works Agency and the Planning and Building Agency. Five classifications are being merged into two classifications to create fewer and more effective classifications to meet the needs of the Accounting Division of the Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA). The classification title changes seek to standardize, ensure uniformity, and modernize classification titles as used internally and in outside agencies. These changes will help ensure the City’s classification and compensation plan provides equitable compensation, utilizes appropriately titled classifications, and remains competitive with both, internal classifications and those of comparable external agencies, ultimately enhancing the City’s recruitment and retention efforts. Classification and compensation proposed changes are detailed in Exhibit 2. The following are proposed workforce changes for full-time positions as detailed in Exhibit 3. City Manager’s Office •The City Manager’s Office is requesting to reallocate an Administrative Receptionist to an Executive Assistant. An Executive Assistant provides more sophisticated activities to support and balance City Councilmembers’ requests, as well as administrative support to the Deputy City Manager and Assistant City Managers. Human Resources (HR) •Currently, the Human Resources department has a Management Analyst underfilling the Senior Organizational Development and Training (OD&T) Analyst position. HR is requesting a new Management Analyst position to retain the current Management Analyst and allow the Senior OD&T Analyst position to be filled accordingly. The Management Analyst is essential for managing the department’s budgets, contracts, and Public Records Requests, while the Senior OD&T Analyst is critical for expanding training, coaching, and recognition programs that support employee growth and the City’s commitment to innovation and professional development. A portion of HR’s General Fund part-time salaries budget will be used to fully fund the additional Management Analyst position, resulting in a net zero fiscal impact for this request. Finance and Management Services Agency (FMSA) •The purpose of the reallocation from an Accounts Payable (AP) Technician to a Senior Accounting Assistant is to differentiate an experienced AP Technician from an entry-level. This position, like other Senior Accounting Assistants in FMSA, performs duties that require the application of specialized knowledge and skills gained only through experience with the City.
