Fan'or CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW Agenda Section r. REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Report Number: (( t"'i` STAFF REPORT Report Date: 11/26/96 • 1%. keR7 COUNCIL WORK SESSION MEETING DATE -- Special Order of Bus. ''x,°'it'PartIltist '' December 2, 1996 — Consent Agenda _ Public Hearings X Council Business Item Description: Reclassification of Administrative Aide Position to Human Resources Technician Executive Director's Review/Recommendation: -No Comments to supplement this report -Comments attached. Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) Summary:This is the next step in the administration and finance department reorganization. I am proposing to reclassify the administrative aide position to"human resource technician", a title and job description I think is more appropriate for the needs of the department and the abilities of the person in the position (Lynette Morgan). Council will recall that with Michelle Chambers leaving, administrative duties were moved around to other positions and with that to first, make sure someone was meeting those work needs, and second, to determine as best possible the man power needs of the department. I feel this reclassification will fit into work load the department attempts to carry. A job description is attached. Council will note that the principle duties of the position will be personnel administration oriented and under the direction of the Finance Director. In addition, recycling and licensing duties 41bwill continue. Secretarial and economic development assistance will be eliminated and assigned to the new office secretary position. The main body of work for the coming year to two years will be in setting up a more coherent personnel system, one that will involve detailed review and updating of existing administrative policies and procedures, coordinating this review process with employee education and information, and interdepartmental coordination of personnel management policies and procedures. I consider this to be a large task in addition to ongoing every day work, and signifies a true difference in approach with the department's use of its personnel. With that in mind, I ask the Council to consider the basic change proposed here in the use of the individual in this position and the overall approach to this department as brought to your attention over the past few months. With the new classification (which will need Council approval), a new wage is also proposed as follows: Step 1: $27,040 Step 2: $28,730 Step 3: $30,420 Step 4: 32,110 Step 5: $33,800 This is an increase over the current position system of approximately 8.33% and is figured as 1996 wages, meaning the steps would increase per a cost of living increase as determined for all positions. I am basing cgoit,j_ Chuck Whiting, City dministrator RECOMMENDATION: Review and discuss proposal with recommendation for a resolution to be ilpassed at next regular Council meeting.
