The proposed resolution also allows Executive Managers to receive the same stipend for use of a personal phone or tablet in lieu of City - issued equipment at the same level afforded to other management employees. Finally, the proposed resolution adjusts the salary for the Executive Director of Planning & Building job classification by 17.5 %. Two recent recruitments to fill this position have resulted in a lack of applicants who are currently in this position in cities of similar size and complexity as Santa Ana.

As this position is instrumental to one of the key operations of the City, a competitive salary is necessary to attract and retain the best qualified candidate. Therefore, an equity adjustment is recommended to compensate the position properly when compared to positions in other cities with equivalent scope and level of responsibility. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal #7 — Team Santa Ana, Objective #6, Provide a positive workplace environment that supports the health of its employees and celebrates its success and goals.
