Council approves split of ADA/risk-safety position into manager and coordinator roles
Summary
City staff said it could not find a single candidate with both ADA compliance and risk-safety skills, so the council approved splitting the previously approved ADA risk-safety director role into an ADA risk-safety manager and a safety coordinator, initially on a temporary basis.
City manager Don Rosenthal and HR staff explained the administration could not find a single candidate with both ADA compliance and risk-safety experience for a previously approved combined position. The recommendation was to retain the funding but split the role into two positions — an ADA/risk-safety manager and a safety coordinator — and to hire on a temporary basis to test the arrangement.
Council members asked clarifying questions about responsibilities and timelines. HR representative Billy Joe said the coordinator role would take clerical and ground-safety duties while the manager retained higher-level ADA and risk responsibilities. Council members supported moving ahead; Councilwoman Harris made the motion and Mister Jernigan seconded. The council voted unanimously to approve the change and add the coordinator position.
Next steps: Administration will recruit and fill the two roles and report back on implementation and timing.
