<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: <br />As we’ve planned in the 2023 budget, the city will be replacing the Planning Director position <br />with a Community Development Director. A new job description and posting are included in <br />your packet. <br /> ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Should the Council approve the new job description and posting for Community Development <br />Director? <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />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 <br />internal processes between these divisions as well as give the public a clearer idea of who is <br />responsible for executing development and responding to concerns in the city. <br /> <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 <br />supervisors in completing their position analysis questionnaires and based upon the SAFE criteria <br />used in evaluating the job. I further added clarification around economic development activities <br />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: <br />Funding for the Community Development position to start in Q3 2023 is included in the budget. <br />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: <br />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 <br /> <br />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: <br />• Community Development Director Job Description <br />• Community Development Director Posting
