. .� � � ! ��. . � � � � � � To#he Honorable Mayor and City Council . From the City Manager December 19, 2005 Subject Job description and salary range for the new Redevelopment Project Manager classification. Recommendation It is recommended that Council approve the job specifications and salary range for the new Redevelopment Project Manager classification. Background In late 2003, two employees were hired on two-year contracts to work on issues and projects relating to the downtown and the implementation of the Downtown Plan, and economic development and the implementation of the Economic Development Strategy. At the time, it was believed that the duration of the duties and responsibilities of these finro contract employees would be for two years. Since then, it has been determined that the scope of work relating to the downtown and economic development is of a more permanent nature. Staff, in consultation with Human Resources, reviewed existing job descriptions to det�rmine if there were any current classifications that could be utilized for the purpose of performing the aforementioned duties and responsibilities. Staff determined that there were no current classifications that sufficiently matched the work to be performed. Therefore, it was determined that the creation of this new classification was in order. Much follow up work and continued diligence will be needed after the completion of the retail/cinema project, Courthouse Square, streetscape and other public projects to protect the investment the City will have made in the Downtown. This new classification will be dedicated to this work and is critical to help insure the long-term success of the Downtown revitalization efforts. Alternative The alternative would be to not create this new classification and to continue to have contract employees perform the work relating to downtown and economic development. Fiscal Impact These are redevelopment funded positions. The salary and benefits for this proposed classification are consistent with the safaries currently being paid to the two contract employees, and as such are already budgeted for FY 2005-06 in the Redevelopment Operating Budget. Salary and benefits for this new classification will have to be included in future Redevelopment budgets in lieu of the contract positions.
