Council moves to create assistant director position; salary range to be finalized
Summary
The presenter proposed elevating a current administrative assistant to an assistant director role to reflect added responsibilities; the presenter said the salary increase has been budgeted and council moved to create the position pending a finalized job description and formal legislation.
Council members discussed and moved to create an assistant director position to formalize expanded duties performed by an existing administrative assistant. The presenter said the change reflects increased responsibilities over the past two years and described the proposal as a promotion that will allow the department to rely on the assistant to run day-to-day operations in the director’s absence.
The presenter said the salary increase for the new range "has already been budgeted and appropriated" in the annual budget but the precise salary range and a finalized job description will be completed and provided to the personnel committee within the coming week. During discussion council members asked whether the effective start date should be backdated to Jan. 1 or begin on the date the council approves the position; participants suggested the new settlement would begin when council makes the decision.
Chair (speaker 3) moved to create the position as recommended; a council member seconded. The transcript shows agreement and further discussion on drafting legislation and personnel committee review; the record does not include a formal roll-call tally in the excerpt.
What happens next: staff will finalize the job description and salary range, send those materials to the personnel committee for review, and the solicitor will prepare any legislation necessary to enact the new position.
