City creates two finance positions; council says change is budget neutral
Summary
Sylvania adopted an ordinance creating two finance roles — Financial Analyst (grade 22, roughly $95,000) and Financial Coordinator (grade 20, roughly $75,000) — to recognize work formerly in one administrative role; council characterized the change as budget neutral and approved it as an emergency measure.
Council approved Ordinance 104-2026 to revise the city’s departmental organization in the finance division by adding two job titles: Financial Analyst (grade 22) and Financial Coordinator (grade 20). The change follows recent staff turnover and work performed by interim staff.
Councilmember (staff presenter) said the grades are approximately $95,000 for the grade 22 position and $75,000 for grade 20, and that the proposal was intended to reflect responsibilities rather than add headcount. The mayor described the proposal as budget neutral, saying the positions eliminate two previous titles and maintain the same number of staff.
"So this is a budget neutral proposition for the city," the mayor said. Councilmembers said job descriptions and coordination with the incoming director of finance will clarify exact duties. The ordinance passed as an emergency measure.
