INTRODUCED: _ February 9, 2015 BY: Eva Montoya PASSED AND APPROVED: February 9, 2015 City Clerk’s Office Item # S-2 BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED EMERGENCY ORDINANCE COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 09, 2015 TO: President Stephen G. Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Marisa Pacheco – Human Resources Director SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2015 STAFFING ORDINANCE BY REVISING A POSITION WITHIN THE CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE SUMMARY: The City Manager’s office requests to temporarily increase staffing levels by one (1) full time equivalent (FTE) for training purposes. The classification shall be Assistant City Manager and the additional FTE shall be abolished upon the retirement of the current incumbent occupying the classification which is anticipated on February 28, 2015. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On December 22, 2014, Ordinance No. 8811 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2015. BACKGROUND: Currently, the City Manager’s staffing levels include one (1) Assistant City Manager FTE. The incumbent has announced plans to retire by the end of February 2015. There is no mechanism in ordinance to allow for the temporary overfilling of a position in order to facilitate critical training and transition activities. Therefore, the City Manager’s office requests the addition of an Assistant City Manager FTE, bringing the total to two (2), on a temporary basis to accomplish necessary training. It is further requested that the additional FTE be abolished upon separation of the current Assistant City Manager incumbent via retirement. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funding for the position of the additional Assistant City Manager will come from the General Fund. The cost is anticipated at approximately $1,073 per week for the training period during which the additional position will be in existence, but overall there will be a savings as it is anticipated that the new Assistant City Manager will be hired in at a significantly reduced rate. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: The no action alternative would be to retain the current staffing level which would eliminate any opportunity to train a newly hired Assistant City Manager. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
