Item No: 09G <br />7�T DS Meeting Date: Auqust 28 2017 <br />MOUNUAW <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />City of Mounds view Staff Report <br />Nomor— <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8817 Promoting Planner Jon Sevald to Supervisor <br />of the Community Development Department and Approving <br />Revisions to the Planner Job Description <br />Introduction: <br />The Community Development Department has been without a director or supervisor since <br />March of 2011, when the Community Development Director position was eliminated. <br />Subsequent to the position elimination, the City Administrator assumed the oversight role. <br />With the City Administrator resigning, we will need to assign someone to have supervisory <br />oversight of the department. Planner Jon Sevald would be the logical choice to fill this void <br />and is the recommended candidate. <br />Discussion: <br />Mr. Sevald started working for the City of Mounds View in February of 2016. Previous to <br />Mounds View, Mr. Sevald worked for the Cities of Anoka, Andover and Sherburne County. <br />He has a Master's Degree in Public Administration and has been a great addition to the <br />Community Development Department. Given his experience and education, he would be a <br />good choice to serve as the department's supervisor. Currently, Mr. Sevald is at Step 4 <br />($31.27 per hour) of the Planner wage schedule. The addition of department supervisor <br />duties on top of the Planner responsibilities should result in a pay increase. <br />Staff is suggesting the new position be called "City Planner / Supervisor", with the same <br />salary range as the Building Official, which is as follows: <br />Ste 1 <br />Ste 1.5 <br />Ste 2 <br />Ste 3 <br />Ste 4 <br />Step 5 <br />$32.47 <br />1 $33.49 <br />J $34.50 <br />$36.53 <br />$38.56 <br />1)40.59 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 8817, promoting Jon Sevald to the position of <br />City Planner / Supervisor and be assigned to Step 2 of the revised pay range, presently <br />$34.50 per hour. In addition, staff recommends approval of the revisions to the Planner <br />Job Description. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />J <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br />
