Approve by resolution revisions to the City Clerks job description. <br />2. Approve by resolution the adoption of the job specification of Code Enforcement <br />Officer 1/11. <br />3. Approve resulting budget appropriations. <br /> <br />Background <br />From time to time, departments may request new positions, changes to current <br />classifications or new classifications depending on the changing needs of their <br />departments. The Human Resources department is responsible for evaluating these <br />requests and conducting compensation and classification comparisons and analyses. <br />Outlined below are two requests requiring City Council review and approval. <br /> <br />1. Revisions to City Clerk Job Description <br /> <br />The City of Redwood City maintains job descriptions for all positions within the City's <br />classification system. Periodically, job descriptions are reviewed and modified to meet <br />current market standards andlor to update new duties and responsibilities that have <br />over time become essential functions of the position. With the recent announcement <br />that the City Clerk will be retiring, the current job description was reviewed and <br />proposed minor revisions were developed. The main revisions include the following: <br /> <br />· Added clarifying language pertaining to responsibility for ensuring compliance <br />with various laws; <br />· Based on internal review and analysis of current market standards, the <br />requirement for three years of supervisory experience was added; <br />· Included the requirement for a professional certification as Municipal Clerk or <br />participation in a program leading toward certification and; <br />· Updated the job specification to be more consistent with recently updated <br />classes (Le. added a "Special Requirements" Section; which is the standard for <br />all city job descriptions.) <br /> <br />Attached for your review is the revised job description for City Clerk (see attachment 1.) <br />
