TITLE
The Mayor and City Council shall discuss and possibly take action on approving a staff complement change to reclassify position of CIP Coordinator to CIP Project Manager and modify the 2014 Salary Plan to reflect the change. The position is currently vacant; the total cost of the reorganization is estimated at $5,113 in FY 13-14 which will be absorbed through vacancy and budgetary savings. Discussion and Action.
AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION
The proposed reclassification within the current Public Works Department represents a sound business decision that provides the following benefits to the Public Works
Department, and subsequently the City of Maricopa:
(a) The needs of the City and the CIP generally demand that an engineer project manager-caliber employee be sought,
(b) The City previously advertised for the position and received inadequate quality applicants with education and experience below what is desired and below what other Cities are hiring, and
(c) Ensures that employees are working within a designated Job Classification.
CIP Coordinator reclassification to CIP Project Manager results in a higher salary range, the cost of this reclassification is estimated to be $5,113 for the remainder of the fiscal year and approximately $10,225 in subsequent FY 14-15.
This item will be presented by Public Works Director William P. Fay.
