Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
Certain periodic revisions to the authorized number of positions are appropriate and necessary during the fiscal year.
This Resolution seeks to adjust the number of authorized full-time positions, job classifications and pay grades established as part of the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2023 Operating Budget. These adjustments are necessary to address critical operational gaps within City departments and offices.
This Resolution include the following changes:
Within the Department of Development Services:
• Addition of an Entitlement Review Administrator position primarily responsible for overseeing business systems to analyze ways to create efficiencies in the entitlement review process.
• Addition of a Development Review Coordinator position primarily responsible for coordinating workload and output of the City’s Development Review process and serve as a liaison between the business community, developers, customers, and the City.
• Addition of an Engineering Plans Reviewer position primarily responsible for review of development plans and specifications for private land use development, right-of-way permits, and other engineering projects.
• Addition of an Assistant Planner position primarily responsible for assisting with planning, zoning, and development regulation activities.
• Addition of a City Engineer position primarily responsible for planning, developing, and directing major programs and projects of the Engineering Division.
• Addition of a Structural Inspector, Plumbing Inspector, and Permit Services Representative II to address and streamline increasing workload.
Within the Office of the City Manager:
• Addition of an Administrative Assistant II position primarily responsible for performing advanced level administrative work to support the increased workload of the office.
The changes listed above increases the number of positions authorized for Fiscal Year 2023 from 1,344 to 1,353.
Fiscal Impact:
The proposed position changes will fiscally impact the General Fund and the Building Fund. For FY23, funding will be covered with salary savings from existing vacancies and the conversion of part-time positions in the Planning Division and Building Division. Additional budget amendments may be necessary in the current fiscal year and next fiscal year’s proposed budget will reflect these changes.
