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 Proposed Amendment to Basic Classification and Compensation Plan February 2, 2009 Page 2 of 2 FISCAL IMPACT Assuming an effective date of February 1, 2009, the fiscal impact for the remainder of the fiscal year is as follows: Addition of one Accounting Assistant position: $22,350 Compensation increase to Housing Authority Coordinator: $4,015 Deletion of two Parking Meter Technician I positions: ($40,910) Reallocation one Senior Office Specialist position to Senior Accounting Assistant: $6,455 Reallocation of one Parking Meter Technician I position to Parking Meter Technician II: $3,250 The net fiscal impact of these changes is a cost savings of $4,840.
