TITLE
AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2013 STAFFING ORDINANCE AND
AMENDING SAME BY CREATING A CODE ENFORCEMENT MANAGER POSITION AND
ABOLISHING THE POLICE SUPPORT TECHNICIAN SUPERVISOR AND THE ZONING
ENFORCEMENT SUPERVISOR POSITIONS
ISSUE
Should City Council amend the 2013 Staffing Ordinance by establishing the new position of
Code Enforcement Manager and eliminating the positions of Police Support Technician
Supervisor and Zoning Enforcement Supervisor?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to consolidate code enforcement responsibilities, the City is creating a new Code
Compliance Unit, under the direction of the Police Department. The intent is to combine the
employees working in the Zoning Enforcement division of the Planning and Community
Development Department and the employees working in the Support Services division of the
Police Department effective January 1, 2014.
A new supervisory position titled Code Enforcement Manager will be established to lead this
new unit. The Code Enforcement Manager will supervise both the Code Enforcement and
Zoning Enforcement employees, which will lead to a more efficient code/zoning enforcement
operation, by streamlining communication, planning, and supervision of the International
Property Maintenance Code. Once the Code Enforcement Manager position is filled, the Police
Support Technician Supervisor and the Zoning Enforcement Supervisor positions will be
abolished. Upon abolishing those two positions, the net result will be a decrease of one (1) full-
time employee.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for the new Code Enforcement Manager position has been budgeted for and will be
appropriated in the 2014 Police Department budget.
