impacted directly or indirectly as we have tried to match skills with needs, and that all of the employees who left went on to better positions including Ms. Weitzel. Some specifics to note in the job description include acting as the administrator in the administrator's absence, acting as an in-house legal coordinator with hopes of reducing our city attorney costs, acting as a more direct coordinator of city clerking functions being the management of city actions and documents, acting in a coordinating manner for the dissemination of city business information, and taking on higher leadership expectations. Another aspect of some of the changes to note is that will Tracy Sanchez having left, her replacement will work directly and essentially learn the position responsibilities from Cari. Some additional work will be needed in the future, specifically during a future comparable worth pointing evaluation. I do not think it is necessary to go through a full pointing evaluation at this time. In looking at a few other cities, it appears that assistants range between the high 400s to the upper 600s. I think a more practical concern would be to view the going rate for other positions and assign a compensation Mounds View can afford. It so happens two other communities are looking for assistants currently and I think being relative to the Roseville position is more in line with Mounds View's abilities. I propose simply adding 5%to the top of the assistant to the city administrator position with step increases following at additional 5% increments. Included in your packet is the current 1999 pay plan. Ms. Schmidt is scheduled to go to step 5 in her current position this month. Assistant City Administrator Compensation Range (proposed) Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 48,798 51,357 54,060 56.905 59,900 I would propose starting Schmidt at Step 1 the first full pay period after council approval and moving to Step 2 at the first of 2000 with annual adjustments thereafter. The adjustment for the increase in the 1999 budget would be made from contingency funds, essentially the difference between Step 1 of this position versus Step 5 of her current position proportionate to the remainder of this year. If council agrees to this change, a resolution will be drafted adopting the new position and the accompanying compensation changes.
