<br />DATE: February 7, 2023 <br />CONSENT <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Kristina Handt, City Administrator <br />AGENDA ITEM: Approve Community Development Director Job Description and Authorize <br />Advertising <br /> BACKGROUND: As we’ve planned in the 2023 budget, the city will be replacing the Planning Director position with a Community Development Director. A new job description and posting are included in your packet. ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: Should the Council approve the new job description and posting for Community Development Director? <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: Since the audit of the planning and building departments (divisions of community development <br />really) in 2021, we have been talking about transitioning to a Community Development Director <br />role to oversee all community and economic development functions. This will help improve internal processes between these divisions as well as give the public a clearer idea of who is responsible for executing development and responding to concerns in the city. <br />During the Baker Tilly classification and compensation study they updated job descriptions. They <br />made updates to job descriptions based upon the information submitted by employees and their supervisors in completing their position analysis questionnaires and based upon the SAFE criteria used in evaluating the job. I further added clarification around economic development activities and made updates based upon a review of this position in other cities. A redlined version of the <br />new job description is included in your packet. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: Funding for the Community Development position to start in Q3 2023 is included in the budget. The position will be placed at grade 12 similar to other department head positions such as Finance <br />Director and Administrative Services Director. <br />OPTIONS: 1) Approve the Community Development Director job description and authorize advertising for applications <br />2) Do not approve the above mentioned changes and advertising the position RECOMMENDATION: <br />If removed from consent agenda: <br />“Motion to approve the Community Development Director job description and authorize <br />advertising the position.” <br /> ATTACHMENTS: • Community Development Director Job Description • Community Development Director Posting
