Summary

Council and the City Attorney reviewed revisions to the City Administrator/Finance Director job description and City Code, including reporting lines and Teamsters review; the city will update the job title, salary and reporting relationship before posting.

Councilmember Kayleen Bryson asked where the City Administrator/Finance Director position had been posted; Mayor Peter Sharp said it had not been posted while City Attorney Norton and the Teamsters review the job description. City Attorney Norton said City Code needs amendment to designate a 'department head' and that only planning job descriptions require Teamsters review.

Attorney Norton and councilmembers discussed that the position description needs a correct title, salary, and should state the position reports to the mayor rather than the council. The item will return to the next council meeting after the Attorney completes the code amendments and the job description is finalized.
