Several new or expanded positions are provided for
• - in the budget. In Administrative Services, the part
time bookkeeper position is proposed to be full time,
with the title of Account Technician. In Public
Safety, a code enforcement officer position is added,
specifically to handle weed and nuisance abatement.
Also, a clerk -typist position is added, to handle all
necessary paperwork from the department. In Community
Development, an additional building inspector is added
for six months (January - June), because of the
additional building inspection load expected in 1985
and to improve the permit issuance process. The City
Engineer position is re -budgeted this year, although
I am also proposing that we bring in a consulting
engineer/public works director to review our needs
ana make recommendations regarding permanent staffing.
A public information officer is not presently included
in the budget, but the position could be useful, and
we have the cost figures available for inclusion.
Regarding salaries and benefits, it has been our goal
to bring the City into a position reasonably equivalent
with the other cities of the Coachella Valley. Toward
that end, it is recommended that the City pay the 7%
employees' share of the PERS contribution. This is
the standard in the other valley cities. Between
March 1983 and March 1984, the consumer price index
increased between 3.0 and 3.5%. A 38 cost of living
increase is recommended.
Several positions are proposed to have range adjustments
in order to bring them to levels in the mid -range of
similar positions with other valley cities. Other
positions are proposed fro range adjustment and/or
title change because of increased responsibility.
These positions are: Building Inspector, City Attorney,
Clerk -Receptionist, Code Enforcement officer, Community
Safety Coordinator, Department Secretary, Director of
Administrative Services, Director of Community.Development
and Street Maintenance Worker. The details of these
changes will be described more fully in the subsequent
detailed budget description and during the budget
review process. Many of these matters should be
discussed in executive session.
