Council reviews merged community service officer job description, expands code-enforcement role
Summary
Council members reviewed a revised community service officer job description that merges two positions, adds code-enforcement and property-maintenance duties, and sets the role at about 20 hours per week with a modest salary-range adjustment.
Monona council members reviewed a proposed job description on April 8 that merges two existing positions into a single community service officer role with expanded code-enforcement responsibilities.
Staff presented the draft and said the revision merges previous duties into one role and adds specific code-enforcement and property-maintenance responsibilities pulled from municipal ordinances. “Discussions with the mayor today did wanted to maybe specifically add property maintenance into number 4,” staff said, recommending property maintenance be a standalone duty in the new description.
Council members noted the position will report to the chief and that the merged assignment is intended to increase efficiency and community outreach. Doug (council/staff) emphasized the change dovetails with a recent ordinance amendment that gives the position the authority to issue citations for certain code violations. Staff said the new position would cap code-enforcement hours at about 20 per week and that the salary range was adjusted following a compensation study to reflect the added duties.
There was no formal action; the item was returned to staff for finalization and implementation planning. Council members expressed support for clearer, more specific language about property maintenance and asked staff to finalize the position description ahead of recruitment.
