RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA APPROVING A SALARY ADJUSTMENT FOR
THE ANIMAL CONTROL MANAGER CLASSIFICATION IN
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
WHEREAS, the position of Animal Control Manager has undergone significant change
in the last 5 years and manages an operation that will double in physical size when the new
animal care facility is opened; and
WHEREAS, with this growth in size, comes a growth in the number of contracts with
outside agencies to provide animal control services for which this position will negotiate and
have lead responsibility for carrying out the provisions of the contract; and
WHEREAS, currently the City provides animal control services to Imperial Beach,
Lemon Grove, National City, and will also provide sheltering services to the U.S. Customs
Service; and
WHEREAS, this position will oversee a new component to animal care operations, the
medical clinic and surgery suite which also requires that this position be responsible for
maintaining our Drug Enforcement Agency License for Controlled Substances (Class II, III, IV
and V Narcotics); and
WHEREAS, this position will be working with various animal rights groups and the
animal fights community on a daily basis and will require an individual that has the political
acumen to balance the City's needs with those of the animal rights community; and
WHEREAS, a salary survey was recently completed in order to gauge the appropriate
salary level for the Animal Control Manager and because of the autonomy, complexity of duties
and other factors, it was decided to initially set the salary of the Animal Control Manager to the
same level of civilian Fire Marshal; and
WHEREAS, future salary increases would follow Mid-Managers schedule and this
position will remain in the Mid-Manager benefit group; and
WHEREAS, the cost of this salary adjustment for the fiscal year is $13,000, which salary
adjustment will be absorbed by the Police Department through anticipated salary savings; and
WHEREAS, no additional budget appropriations are required in Fiscal Year 2003; and
WHEREAS, the increase for Fiscal Year 2004 will be presented during budget
deliberations.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby approve a salary adjustment for the Animal Control Manager classification in
the Police Department effective October 18, 2002.
