MEETING DATE:  4/25/2016

SUBJECT:  Revisions to FY16 Compensation Plan

PREPARED BY:  Casandra Sanjurjo, Human Resources Manager

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Approve the revisions to the FY16 Compensation Plan and provide for one (1) additional FTE for Public Services, Electric Division.

 

Summary

The Administration periodically evaluates the organizational structure of the departments and staff of the City to ensure we are meeting the needs of our citizens in the most efficient manner. After evaluation, some restructuring is planned which necessitates an update of the Compensation Plan in addition to providing opportunities for future restructuring, if necessary.

 

The proposed Compensation Plan includes some new position titles and pay range changes to existing position titles to facilitate current and potential restructuring. The proposed new position titles include:  Electric System Planner which represents one (1) new FTE, Engineering Supervisor, Facilities Maintenance Manager, Human Resources Generalist and Lead Engineering Technician. Additionally the following changes to existing position titles are being proposed: Finance Director to Finance & Administrative Services Director, Utility Billing Supervisor to Utility Billing Manager and reclassifying the Safety Specialist from exempt to non-exempt. The associated pay range proposals represent competitive local market salaries.

 

Some of these position titles will not be filled immediately, but are being provided in the Compensation Plan so the Administration will have the opportunity for potential restructuring when necessary.  The ultimate result in any organizational restructuring is to ensure that the City serves the citizens at the high level that is expected.
