According to Mr. DeBar's December 2, 2014, Work Session report, Mr. DeBar recommended adding a Project Management position in the Public Works Department (report attached). At the February Work Session and the February 10th City Council Meeting, a new proposed position was discussed for the Public Works Department called "Project Coordinator. This proposed position would work directly with the Director of Public Works on capital improvements and public works construction projects. The Project Coordinator would be responsible for the day-to-day coordination of assigned projects, ensuring that work is completed on time and in compliance with standards. This position would work closely with the Director of Public Works and provide regular project updates. At the February 10th City Council Meeting, it was the consensus of the City Council to move forward in completing a compensation analysis on the position. During the March Work Session, the City Council reviewed the compensation analysis and it was the consensus of the City Council to move forward in approving the job description, salary compensation and authorization to advertise for the position. Discussion: Staff submitted the draft Project Coordinator job description to Springsted, Inc., and requested them to do a HAY point and salary compensation analysis. Attached is Springsted's report. Springsted recommends that the Project Coordinator be assigned 291 HAY points, based on the position's comparability to the Planning Associate position, which is also at 291 HAY Points.
