BACKGROUND: As can be seen in this chapter references,this section of the City Code has been modified numerous times since 2000. Section 2 of Chapter 7,primarily outlines the specific job titles for not unionized or inanagement employees. This section has had to be reperirively updated as job titles change within the organization. The needs of the City cl�ange over time and the industry standard titles change over time also. In order to remain competitive and attractive as an employer we need to adapt as well. We are updaring this section now to create new positions of Civilian Liaison Officer(CLO)and Grants and Procurement Manager. With the need to update it for these two new positions,we are also cleaning up unfilled positions and updating previously created positions already staffed. At some point the Council may choose to eliminate this Section 2 of Chapter 7, and defer all job titles and positions to the City Manager and Civil Service Commission within the parameters of the City Council approved budget. POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: None known INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: Huma.n Resources and Legal Deparhnents STAFF REFERENCE: Staff familiar with this Ordinance and recommendation include Deputy City Manger Jon Kindseth, Corporate Counsel Wendy Morthland,and City Manger Scot Wrighton BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: Four Civilian Liaison Officers have been been included in the 2020 proposed budget witlun the Police Deparhnent budget. The Grants and Procurement Manager is budgeted for within the Transit budget. This position although new for the City,the intention is to hire the person already filling this role under our contract with MV Transportation. This section of the City Code is amended everytime there are new positions created.
