City Council

7. APPROVAL OF BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR STAFFING IN THE HUMAN\nRESOURCES DEPARTMENT – F2M23-17, F2M23-2, M2M23-201\nCity staff was recently informed about the planned retirement of the existing Executive\nAssistant in the Human Resources Department. When a vacancy in a position is created\nwithin a department, City staff will often take the opportunity to review and evaluate\nexisting staffing structures. In this case, after reviewing, it was determined that the\nDepartment would most benefit from replacing the Executive Assistant position with a\nConfidential Management Analyst. Examples of the specialized responsibilities the\nConfidential Management Analyst – Human Resources would be tasked with include but\nare not limited to: monitoring and management of the City’s liabilities claims, managing\nand tracking of the department’s budgetary expenditures and contracts, assisting with\nworkers compensation claims, utilization of best practices to limit City’s exposure to\n5\n12-11-23\nliabilities and risk, and maintaining the City’s property schedule with the City’s existing\ninsurance providers. Staff is requesting the City Council approve an amendment to the FY\n2023-2025 Adopted Budget to remove one Executive Assistant – Human Resources\nposition and one part-time Human Resources Technician and add one Confidential\nManagement Analyst – Human Resources position to the Human Resources Department.\nRecommended Action: City Council take the following actions: 1) Approve a budget\namendment to remove one full-time Executive Assistant – Human Resources and one\npart-time Human Resources Technician and add one full-time Confidential Management\nAnalyst – Human Resources in the Human Resources Department; 2) Direct the Finance\nDirector to move forward with the proposed budgetary amendments; and. 3) Direct staff\nto undertake the steps necessary to finalize the City Council’s action.
