REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: FEBRUARY 2, 2009 TITLE: PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO CLASSIFICATION AND COMPENSATION PLAN AND ANNUAL BUDGET ~,r ~~ CITY MANAGER RECOMMENDED ACTION CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: APPROVED ^ As Recommended ^ As Amended ^ Ordinance on 1St Reading ^ Ordinance on 2"d Reading ^ Implementing Resolution ^ Set Public Hearing For CONTINUED TO FILE NUMBER Adopt a resolution that amends the City's Basic Classification and Compensation Plan (82-110) and amends the fiscal year 2008-2009 annual budget to add, delete, reallocate and adjust the compensation of several positions in the Community Development Agency. DISCUSSION The current economic climate has necessitated a series of cost-cutting measures in the Community Development Agency, including the elimination of several positions. This reduction has, in turn, prompted an internal review of the Agency's structure and functions in order to identify core responsibilities and distribute work in an equitable manner. As a result of this review, the Executive Director of Community Development is proposing the addition of one full-time Accounting Assistant position, a compensation increase to the Housing Authority Coordinator classification, and the deletion of two full-time Parking Meter Technician I positions. In addition, the Executive Director requests the reallocation of one Parking Meter Technician I position to Parking Meter Technician II and the reallocation of one full-time Senior Office Specialist position to Senior Accounting Assistant. These proposed changes will align duties and responsibilities with classifications at appropriate compensation levels and facilitate the Community Development Agency's ability to continue operating at full service levels. 55C-1
