COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Item 1~„
Meeting Date 11/3/87
ITEM TITLE: Ordinance 223 6 Amending Section 2.05.010 of the
Municipal Code Establishing Unclassified Positions
SUBMITTED BY: Principal Management Assi stant6~~~ SECOND READING AND ADOPTION
REVIEWED BY: City Manager / ~~~~ (4/5ths Vote: Yes X No )
Sections 500 and 701 of the City Charter provides which employee positions may
be in the unclassified service. Section 701 (8) reads as follows: "The City
may place assistant and deputy department heads, assistants to the City
Manager and new management level positions in the unclassified service by an
ordinance adopted by a 4/5ths vote." When the budget was adopted for Fiscal
Year 1987-88, it was anticipated that certain re-titled and new positions
would be unclassified. Review of the Charter indicated that an ordinance
adopted by a 4/5ths vote would be required to establish those positions
desired to be unclassified. Section 2,05,010 also reveals that some positions
currently entitled to be unclassified are not, therefore, certain newly titled
positions are included in the proposed ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the ordinance amending Section 2.05.010 by adding
~lssistant Director of Finance, Assistant Director of Personnel, and Budget
Officer as unclassified positions; changing the title of Deputy Director of
Public Works/Engineering to Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer and
Public Services Director to Deputy Director of Public Works/Operations.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
When the position of Budget Officer was created in the Fiscal Year 1987-88
budget, it was established as a mid-management position with the anticipation
that, in addition, it would be an unclassified position. This position is an
appropriate management level position that should be placed in the
unclassified service.
In the current budget, the position of Principal Personnel Analyst was
re-titled Assistant Director of Personnel. Sections 500 and 701 of the City
Charter provides that the unclassified service may include assistant and
deputy department heads; therefore, it is proposed that the Assistant Director
of Personnel be placed in the unclassified service.

• Meeting Date :11/3/87
The position of Assistant Director of Finance was established in Fiscal Year
1982-83 by changing the title of Chief Accountant to Assistant Director of
Finance. Inadvertently, the position was not added to the unclassified
service as intended. Since the Charter indicates that assistant and deputy
department director positions may be in the unclassified service, it is
proposed that this position be placed in the unclassified service. The
position is currently vacant and the hiring process will make it clear that it
will be an unclassified position.
The current Code (Section 2.05.010) places the Deputy Director of Public
Works/Engineering in the unclassified service. After having the position
filled for a year and seeing the evolution of the position, it is proposed
that the title be changed to Deputy Director of Public Works/City Engineer.
The individual filling the position has been acting as Assistant City Engineer
and will now assume responsibilities as City Engineer, which will free the
Public Works Director from day-to-day Engineering decisions and allow him to
better manage his department. Section 2.05.010 also includes the position
"Public Services Director" -- a title that has not been used since the current
incumbent was hired. It is therefore proposed that this title be changed to
Deputy Director of Public Works/Operations as reflected in the current budget
and other documents.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
