AGENDA REPORT
DATE: January 25, 1999
TO: Mayor and Members of City Council
FROM: Keith R. Till, City Manager
SUBJECT: Wages and Benefits for Certain Positions
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That Council adopt a resolution setting salaries for the position of Assistant Planner and
Associate Planner.
BACKGROUND:
The City has been recruiting to fill the position of Associate Planner in the Development
Services Department. The recruitment advertisement indicated the City would consider an
Assistant Planner(with less experience) or an Associate Planner dependent upon the
qualifications of the interested applicants.
As the first recruitment yielded little response, the process has now been extended with the
salaries of both positions advertised as under review. A survey of comparable cities indicates
that the Associate Planner salary is too low to attract qualified candidates. It is recommended
that the Associate Planner position be increased by 10% and the salary for the Assistant Planner
be set for 15% below.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Increases to be funded by salary savings through vacant Associate Planner position. Impact
will not be realized for 2-3 years as new employee will start at a lower pay range.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
That City Council adopt the attached setting salary and benefits for Assistant Planner and
Associate Planner position.
