SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO AND AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2019
STAFFING ORDINANCE BY THE ADDITION OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF
POSITION WITHIN THE MAYOR’S OFFICE
SUMMARY:
The Mayor’s Office requests to adjust its staffing by adding the position of Chief of Staff.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 10, 2018, Ordinance No. 9387 was approved by City Council. This Ordinance
provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2019.
BACKGROUND:
Honorable Mayor Nicholas A. Gradisar requests to adjust department staffing within the Mayor’s
Office by the addition of a new position titled “Chief of Staff” which shall be an Assistant Deputy
Mayor in the Unclassified Service.
The Chief of Staff will provide critical staff support to the Mayor’s office by directing, managing
and overseeing the activities of various City departments. The Chief of Staff will assist the
Mayor in developing and guiding strategy, creating and executing policy development, planning
fiscal and budget management and will develop an effective organizational structure. The Chief
of Staff will collaborate with Department Directors on daily issues and special projects; advise
and assist the Mayor in delivery of City services; liaison with City Council and the general public,
boards, commissions and citizen groups. The Chief of staff will be responsible to provide
interpretation and advice to City staff regarding concerns or problems; conflict management and
resolution to complex and politically sensitive issues,
It is the intent that the role of Deputy Mayor shall be limited to what is required by Charter which
generally concerns succession to Mayor in case of any vacancy. As such, no additional pay is
anticipated for such appointment other than that salary received by the Department Head who is
so appointed.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding for the position of Chief of Staff will come from diverting the funding associated with the
Deputy Mayor position in the 2019 general fund budget in the approved amount of $100,000.
No additional funding is required.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
