CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 15, 2004 Item #1 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL FROM: Anthony Arroyo, Administrative Analyst If SUBJECT: Approval of Organizational Changes for the Electric Utility, Community Services and Public Services Departments and Amend Resolution 57-04 to Establish or Modify the Salary Ranges for Five (5) Positions DATE: June 7, 2004 BACKGROUND: Because of the ongoing reorganization and retirement of some of the executive positions within the city, there is a need to increase the salaries of the City Engineer and adjust the salary range of the Community Services Director. There will also be two new job classifications in the Electric Utility Department; one of which will be the General Manager (formerly Assistant Utility Director) and Assistant General Manager (formerly Transportation and Distribution Superintendent). The changes in the Electric Utility Department will become effective immediately with the approval of Council and the changes in the Public Services and Community Services Department will occur on or after July 1, 2004. DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS: Electric Utility With the retirement of Tom Clarke, the Electric Utility Department will require new titles for those personnel in charge of the daily operations. The title of the Utilities Director will be eliminated. The current Assistant Electric Utility Director position will be upgraded to General Manager; the title of Transmission and Distribution Superintendent will be upgraded to Assistant General Manager. The Assistant General Manager will become a contractlexempt employee within the Executive group. Effective with the approval of Council, the salary range for the General Manager will be $7,624- $9,266 per month; the salary range for the Assistant General Manager will be $7,243-$8,803 per month. With the elimination on the Utilities Director, these changes result in a net savings of $119,020 per fiscal year. Community Services With the retirement of Ron Kenny, the Recreation Services Manager title will be eliminated. The current Recreation Services Manager, Bill Smith, will fill the Community Services Director position. Mr. Smith will oversee Recreation, Library Services and Childcare Services. The Community Services Director salary will be reduced 10% from $6,759-$8,515 to $6,407-$7,787. This results in a net savings of $94,944.
