<br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br /> <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br />OCTOBER 17, 2005 <br />TITLE: <br /> <br />PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO <br />CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION <br />PLAN AND ANNUAL BUDGET <br /> <br />APPROVED <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1 st Reading <br />o Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Adopt a Resolution that amends the City's Basic Management Classification <br />and Compensation Plan (Resolution No. 91-066) and amends the Fiscal Year <br />2005-06 Annual Budget to reflect this change. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Personnel Services Department recently completed an analysis of the <br />duties and responsibilities of the Jail Administrator position. Over the <br />last decade, the size and scope of the Santa Ana Jail Facility has increased <br />significantly. The facility currently houses both pre-arraignment and long- <br />term arrestees, has a budget of $11.5 million, and receives contract revenue <br />of over $12 million. This has resulted in an increase in the level of <br />responsibility and authority assigned to the Jail Administrator. However, <br />the compensation for this job classification has not changed since the <br />Police Department created the classification in 1992. When first <br />established, the new Jail Administrator was charged with the hiring and <br />training of our first Detention Officers and the construction of the City's <br />temporary holding facility. The facility shortly thereafter grew to a <br />temporary 96-bed jail staffed by slightly more than a dozen employees. While <br />continuing to manage the operation of the temporary facility, the Jail <br />Administrator supervised the construction of the new facility and <br />coordinated the staffing, procurement and transition planning. Today, the <br />permanent facility holds 480 beds and is staffed by over 125 employees. The <br />Police Chief now requests a 15% equity adjustment to compensate the <br />incumbent properly when compared with other mid-management positions with <br />equivalent scope and level of responsibility. <br /> <br />558-1 <br /> <br />CS 383 <br />
