ITEM #12 CITY OF COLTON For the City Council Meeting of June 5, 2007 TO: Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers FROM: Candace Cassel, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Consideration and Approval of Recruitment and Ratification of employee appointment to the position of Administrative Analyst 1/II in the Economic Development Department. BACKGROUND The Economic Development Department requests approval to fill a vacant Administrative Analyst. The current Administrative Analyst decided to change career paths and has given notice to terminate his employment, effective June 1, 2007. The Administrative Analyst will be under the supervision of the Economic Development Director to implement and provide various functions as assigned. The salary range is: $3,864-$4,698 for an Administrative Analyst I and $4,252-$5,168 for an Administrative Analyst ll. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS The Economic Development Department assists the City of Colton in performing a variety of activities connected with attracting new businesses to the city, retaining existing businesses, implementing and monitoring affordable housing programs, redevelopment compliance (bond disclosures, legislative amendments to redevelopment plans) and commercial redevelopment projects. Currently the Department has been down by a Project Manager position for approximately 1 Y2 years. Although it is the intention to fill the position given the current work load, the previous two recruitments did not yield a high level of applicants. In order to maintain a professional level of service, the Economic Development Department requests to fill the vacancy of Administrative Analyst 1/11, this is typically an entry level position, as soon as possible. The department plans to recruit for either an Administrative Analyst I or Administrative Analyst II and hire an applicant at the appropriate level based upon their qualifications. Depending upon the caliber of talent the successful Administrative Analyst candidate has, the department will move forward with addressing the vacancy of the Project Manager position. FINANCIAL IMPACT The position has been budgeted for in the 2006/07 FY Economic Development budget. Sufficient funds are available as this position currently exists and was vacated by a separating employee.
