CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 1. 1998 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVAL: Henry Garcia, City Manager lU' FROM: Dennis Morris, Human Resource Directorr�;•- SUBJECT: Approve Request for Recruitment, Ratification of Employee Appointment, and Adjustment in Salary Rate for the Position of Finance Director DATE: August 20, 1998 BACKGROUND: The incumbent City Finance Director will be resigning from the aforementioned position effective August 27, 1998, which will create a vacancy and necessitate immediate recruitment action. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: This vacancy will create a tremendous void in the continued effective operation of not only the Finance Department, but other City operations as well, since the Finance Director provides fiscal advice and counsel to the City Manager, City Council, and other City departments. In addition, the Finance Director is also responsible for oversight and supervision of city-wide accounting, payroll, budget, utility billing, purchasing and data processing. In order to attract the best qualified candidates for this critical executive management position, consideration should be given to adjusting the salary rate by seven percent as recommended last year in the Hayhurst & Associates classification and compensation study. FINANCIAL. IMPACT: If current salary rate is increased by the suggested 71/o, the additional cost over a twelve month period is $4608. This suggested increase is in line with comparable area municipalities. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: None. RECOMMENDATION: That the Mayor and City Council approve the recruitment, ratification and increase in salary rate for the position of Finance Director. ATTACHMENTS: Request for Recruitment, job description and resolution requesting amendment of Resolution No. 53-98, Pay and Classification Plan for the City of Colton.
