6. NEW BUSINESS
A. ORGANIZATIONAL ISSUES INVOLVING THE FOLLOWING
DEPARTMENTS:
City Manager's Office
Public Works
Finance (Date Processing)
Development Services (Building Department)
Police Staffing
The Committee discussed a number of organizational issues resulting from
organizational downsizing and several years of the City not keeping pace with
staffing needs due to the growth of the City.
The City Manager discussed an immediate need to address a recent vacancy of
the Administrative Analyst II position in the City Manager's Office and the desire
to obtain Committee and City Council approval to upgrade the level for this
position when it is filled to the Assistant to the City Manager level.
The City Manager indicated to the Committee that analysis of additional staffing
needs and changes to job specification are being prepared for future Council
review and action with the Building Department, Conservation Division and the
Finance Department, Data Processing Division. The Manager indicated he would
be comparing the City's cost of workers' compensation administration with the
possibility of privatizing this function in the future. In addition, he indicated an
analysis of staffing needs and organizational structures for the Human Resources
Division are in process for future review by the Council.
The Committee discussed the potential of additional staffing for the Police
Department related to the Union #10 annexation. This has become somewhat
confused due to the potential additional costs associated with the significant
increase in booking fees recently requested by the County.
The Public Works Department issues were not discussed.
The Committee is in approval of the Assistant to the City Manager position to
replace the Administrative Analyst II position in the City Manager's Office and
endorses the continued study by the City Manager of the other issues presented
and the return of these items to the City Council for action.
