Summary
Council discussed reclassifying the human resources coordinator position to human resources director, creating a Transportation Improvement District (TID) project manager role, and proposed personnel policy changes including two weeks paid parental leave, expanded seniority pay and broader education incentive eligibility.
Council reviewed proposed changes to job classifications, a new Transportation Improvement District (TID) project manager position, and three proposed amendments to the personnel policy manual.
Staff said the current title "Human Resource Coordinator" does not reflect the scope and responsibilities of the role and proposed reclassifying it to "Director of Human Resources" with a corresponding pay-plan adjustment. City staff indicated the revised job description and pay-plan changes will appear in next week’s packet for first-reading consideration.
City administration also proposed a TID project manager job to oversee the establishment and operation of a Transportation Improvement District, including grant-seeking and board facilitation. Staff said the goal is to have the position and TID board in place by the end of the year, though they characterized the timeline as aspirational.
Personnel policy amendments outlined at a high level include: (1) maintain six weeks unpaid pregnancy/parental leave but add two weeks of paid parental leave for birth or adoption, (2) extend seniority-pay milestones to all employees (previously limited to hires before 2011), and (3) extend education-incentive pay to eligible employees regardless of hire date (previously limited to hires before 2009). Staff offered to bring Human Resources personnel to council for detailed questions.
Council did not take a final formal vote during the caucus; staff said the job descriptions and pay-plan changes will be incorporated into next week’s packet for formal consideration.
