<br /> <br />REPORT <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />September 18, 2000 <br /> <br />Subject <br />Hiring of IT Analyst II above entry level. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br />That the City Council approve the hiring of Christopher Boyd as an IT Analyst II at $5,300 <br />per month. <br /> <br />Background <br />Currently, the salary range for IT Analyst II is $4,792 to $5,751 per month. Section 23.31 <br />of the Redwood City Code of Ordinances requires Council approval of any appointments <br />above the initial point in a salary range. <br /> <br />Given the current demand for Information Technology professionals in the local <br />employment market, it is becoming more challenging to recruit qualified individuals. We <br />have to compete with well-financed Silicon Valley enterprises for the limited number of <br />analysts that can support financial applications. <br /> <br />Mr. Boyd has graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Computer Science and <br />has worked with Information Technology for fifteen years. He has worked with financial <br />systems, has experience with project management, is familiar with recent technologies, <br />and would be a valuable resource for the Information Technology Division. <br /> <br />Due to the intense competition for competent software professionals, it is to the City's <br />advantage to offer a higher beginning salary in order to hire the most qualified candidate <br />available. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />Funds allocated in the FY 2000-01 budget are sufficient to cover this increase in salary <br />level that amounts to $5,435 for ten months including PERS costs. <br /> <br />é.- , <br />4ß<'>1.<¡ -< ¿,~' ~ <br />George W, Gipe <br />Information Technology Manager <br /> <br />fi1 f~ <br /> <br />I), 'II.' .,1/ <br />,/~~ <br />Edward p, Everett <br />City Manager <br /> <br />Brian J, Ponty <br />Director of Finance, Financial Planning <br /> <br />, r."-- -r ' <br />
