<br />DATE: March 7, 2023 <br />CONSENT <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Kristina Handt, City Administrator <br />AGENDA ITEM: Approve Building Official Job Description Update and Ordinance Amendment <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: <br />Since 2016 the Building Official has reported to the city administrator. Prior to that the Building <br />Official reported to the Community Development Director. When a past council changed to a <br />Planning Director position in 2016, staff brought forward a proposal to update the city ordinance <br />to have them report to the Planning Director so it would be consistent with the job description. <br />On a 2-2 vote, the ordinance change failed. Since an ordinance is a higher authority, staff <br />changed the job description to have the Building Official report to the City Administrator. <br /> <br />Now that the city is going back to a Community Development Director, staff is proposing updates <br />to the job description and ordinance for consistency. <br /> ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Should the Council approve the new job description for the Building Official and Ordinance <br />amendment regarding reporting structure? <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <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 made changes to reflect the new reporting structure to the <br />Community Development Director and removed some of the fire inspection relate language since <br />that ordinance was updated last year and is back under the purview of the fire department. A <br />redlined version of the new job description is included in your packet. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT: <br />Just costs to publish the ordinance change <br />OPTIONS: <br />1) Approve the Building Official job description and adopt Ordinance No 2023-05 <br />2) Do not approve the above mentioned changes <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />If removed from consent agenda: <br />“Motion to approve the Building Official job description and adopt Ordinance No 2023-05.” <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br />• Building Official Job Description <br />• Ordinance No 2023-05
