CITY ADMINISTRATION
DATE: December 13, 2011
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: Mark C. Whitworth, City Administrator
RE: Amendment No.1 to Personnel Resolution for Fiscal Year 2011-2012
Background
On July 19, 2011, the City Council adopted a new comprehensive personnel resolution for fiscal
year2011-2012.
The resolution so adopted erroneously neglected to include all necessary updates to the Police
Management Employees subsection based on the new Police MOU recently approved. Those
updates have been incorporated into Section 15(c) of the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the
Personnel Resolution attached hereto.
The proposed amendment also includes general corrections to Sections 9 and 10 respecting the
longevity program to remove Section 9(g), Employees Employed After June 30, 1994, since
Section 9 addresses the longevity program only for employees employed on or before June 30,
1994. Section 10 addresses the longevity program for employees employed on or after July 1,
1994.
Lastly, the proposed amendment includes the creation of the Assistant to the City Administrator
position and corresponding salary scale, originally requested in June 2011. The proposal for this
position is dictated by the current on ongoing workload of the City Administration Department,
including the implementation of numerous citywide reforms, ongoing financial, legislative, and
policy matters, and regular communication with all City departments, outside consultants, and
officials from other legislative bodies and organizations. The job description for the proposed
position is attached.
