City Administrator position and appointing that position to Desaree Crane. He reviewed the job responsibilities that Ms. Crane has assumed, many being the duties of the Assistant City Administrator with the vacancy of that position at the end of 2002. Since that time, Ms. Crane has received compensation at a rate of ten percent (10%) above her level and continued to do the duties. City Administrator Ulrich advised that Labor Relations has performed an assessment of the Assistant to the City Administrator position in terms of number of points relative to other jobs in the City. They also looked at comparable pay scales to other similar jobs throughout the metropolitan area. He noted that Ms. Crane recently received her Bachelor's Degree and has done a great job in this position. The proposed rate would go from $22.63 an hour to $26.93 an hour. It would be a new position with a new title. Because the job has been performed for the • last two years, Staff recommends action be retroactive to July 1, 2005 and pay be implemented at Step 5 at the current job position.
