| Mayor and City Council
| FROM:
| Stefan T. Chatwin, City Manager
| | SUBJECT: | Resolution 2021-211 of the City Council of the City of Fairfield Amending the Departmental Position Control List and Adding New Pay Grades for the Newly Created Positions |
|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDED ACTION | | Adopt resolution. |
|
| | | | | | | | | STATEMENT OF ISSUE | To ensure efficient operations and retain talent in key positions in the City Manager's Office, Housing Services Department, and the Police Department, staff is requesting changes to the Position Control List and Pay Grades. |
|
| | | | | | | | | DISCUSSION | The city manager continues to look to streamline department operations to maximize the reach and impact of our services to the city's residents and stakeholders. Consequently, staff is recommending organizational changes to the City Manager's Office and the Housing Services Department. Additionally, the police chief requested Human Resources to review the salary and update job descriptions for police support managers and compare them to our comparable jurisdictions.
City Manager's Office
In the City Manager's Office (CMO), staff is requesting to add a new executive office manager to the department. The new executive office manager will perform the functions of the executive assistant and oversee all administrative functions in the CMO, including the deputy city clerk.
As a result, staff is requesting to eliminate the current executive assistant position in the City Manager’s Office.
Housing Services Department
The Housing Services Department is requesting to eliminate the housing finance analyst position and add a management analyst II position to better reflect the current level of complexity and responsibility of this position in supporting our Housing Rehabilitation and First Time Home Buyer programs.
Police Department
Staff has surveyed comparable jurisdictions and have updated the salary, job title, and job descriptions for the police support manager positions in charge of dispatch, records and property, and community services. Based on that survey and analysis, staff requests to eliminate three police support manager positions and add the following positions to replace them: police records and property manager, police community engagement manager, and police communications manager. Staff has met and conferred with the Fairfield General Managers' Association over these changes and has the Association's concurrence.

|
| | | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT | The prorated cost for the changes proposed is $46,587 from the General fund (Fund 011) and $6,484 from the Low Mod Income Housing Assets (Fund 022). The annual cost of these changes will be $55,902 from the General Fund and $7,781 from the Low Mod Income Housing Assets. |
|
| | | | | | | | | PUBLIC CONTACT/ADVISORY BODY RECOMMENDATION | None.
|
|
| | | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVE ACTION | Council may decide not to approve the resolution to amend the current departmental position control list and salary recommendations. If council does not approve the proposed changes, it will be very difficult to ensure efficient operations and retain talented staff members in the City. |
