DISCUSSION The Personnel Services Department recently completed a labor market survey of compensation rates assigned to executive director job classifications overseeing development -related functions i.e., Community Development Agency and Planning & Building Agency, Personnel Services. The survey revealed that while no adjustments are necessary for the Executive Director of Planning & Building Safety (EM) job classification, data suggests that the Executive Director of Community Development (EM) and Executive Director of Personnel Services (EM) job classifications are significantly below the average compensation rate for comparable positions, with 11.86% and 8.86%, respectively. The current compensation range for both, Executive Director of Community Development and Executive Director of Personnel Services is $10,211 - $14,428. The proposed compensation range increase for the Executive Director of Community Development is $11,553 - $16,325 (13.15%). The proposed compensation range increase for the Executive Director of Personnel Services is $11,273 - $15,926 (10.38%). As recruitments are pending for these two job classifications, this lack of market competitiveness will put the City at a disadvantage when searching for high-quality job applicants. Therefore, the Interim City Manager is proposing equity adjustments to bring these two job classifications to the average rate in the labor market. The Executive Director of Community Development class will be adjusted from salary rage range EM -33 to EM -38 and the Executive Director of Personnel Services class will be adjusted from EM -33 to EM -37. These salary increases will enable the City to regain market competitiveness in these high -demand job classifications and will enhance the City's ability to attract and retain well-qualified candidates for these critical positions. 5513-1 Approve an Amendment to Classification and Compensation Plan and Annual Budget September 19, 2017 Page 2 STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item allows the City to meet Goal # 7 Team Santa Ana, Objective # 4 (Establish employee compensation that attracts and retains a highly qualified workforce), Strategy A (Ensure compensation is sufficient to attract and retain properly skilled employees and is comparable to other public agencies).
