Council adopts budget amendment to add part‑time hours and small accounting position after presentation of organizational chart
Summary
Council approved an amendment to the operating budget and organizational chart that converts one part‑time administrative accounting position to a 32‑hour role (requiring benefits) and creates a modest budget increase (about $32,785) to cover salary and benefits; council also clarified effective dates for salary plan changes and banked holiday comp time for the city manager.
Staff presented an updated organizational chart for Finance and recommended converting a part‑time administrative accounting specialist to a 32‑hour position and hiring an additional full‑time accounting employee to provide redundancy for billing and payroll functions. The change requires additional benefits funding; staff estimated the fiscal impact at approximately $32,784.93 and asked the council to amend the operating budget accordingly.
After discussion about CalPERS requirements and the need for clearer hourly rates for some contracted roles, the council adopted resolution 1267 by roll call to amend the FY budget, approve the updated organization chart effective July 6 and confirm the city manager’s holiday bank policy modification. Staff will report back on midyear budget impacts.
