SUBJECT: Approval of Classification Specification and Salary Range for
Human Resources Director and a Revised Classification
Specification Changing the Administrative Services Director to
Finance Director
Summary:
Staff is seeking City Council approval to establish a new Human Resources/Risk
Management Director classification and approve the proposed salary range for the
position. Additionally, staff is seeking City Council approval of the revised classification
specification changing the Administrative Services Director to Finance Director with a
corresponding change in duties.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council amend the City's classification system by adding
the Human Resources/Risk Management Director classification, adopt the recommended
classification specification, and approve the proposed salary range of 85.5 with an annual
salary of $125,712-$152,804. Staff also recommends the City Council approve the revised
classification specification, retitling the Administrative Services Director position to
Finance Director.
Discussion:
The Administrative Services Department is comprised of several divisions including
Human Resources, Finance, Information Technology, and Customer Services. The
department also encompasses risk management, general support services, and capital
replacement. It has been challenging in recent years to fill the Administrative Services
Director position and the City has experienced significant turnover in the position.
Currently, the position is vacant due to the promotion of the former director to Assistant
City Manager in September 2016. After working with a recruiter to conduct a national
search, the City has been unable to find to the ideal candidate with satisfactory experience
in the two core department functions of Human Resources and Finance. While
disappointing, this has provided an opportunity to reevaluate the position and assess
whether the department structure is truly sustainable and whether it meets the
organization's needs.

Classification Specification/Salary Range for HR Director and Revised Classification
Specification changing Administrative Services Director to Finance Director
January 10, 2017
Page 2
In assessing the Administrative Services Director position, staff considered the needs of
the organization (a deep breadth of knowledge in human resources, labor relations, and
risk management, as well as municipal finance and budgeting and information technology)
and the challenges the City has faced in recruiting and retaining qualified candidates for
the position. Staff also consulted with a professional public sector recruiter about the City's
ability to attract highly qualified candidates for the position. It is staff's recommendation
that the City create a stand-alone Human Resources/Risk Management Department and
a separate Finance Department in place of the combined Administrative Services
Department. A survey of these responsibilities in other cities indicates that some cities
use the combined Administrative Services approach, while other cities have separate
departments as staff is recommending.
With this reorganization, staff is recommending the City Council approve a new Human
Resources/Risk Management Director classification with a proposed salary range of 85.5.
Staff is also proposing the Administrative Services Director classification be retitled to
Finance Director and the class specification be amended to reflect the corresponding
change in duties. The proposed salary range for the Human Resources/Risk Management
Director reflects a competitive salary that is approximately 5% lower than that of the
Finance Director, reflecting the fact that the Finance Director will have more varied
oversight responsibilities including Finance, Information Technology, and Customer
Services (including water rates). From a succession planning perspective, this is an
opportune time to make this change because the Administrative Services Director position
is vacant and the Assistant Director of Administrative Services and the Finance Manager
have both expressed plans to retire toward the end of calendar year 2017. Creating a
separate Finance Department with a Finance Director position should also yield stronger
director candidates when a recruitment becomes necessary in the future.
Should the City Council approve staffs recommendation, the incumbent Assistant Director
of Administrative Services would assume the Finance Director responsibilities until his
retirement, at which point the Assistant Director classification would be eliminated. The
Assistant City Manager will continue to perform the Human Resources Director
responsibilities, in addition to her other duties, until the new position is filled.
Upon Council's approval of the Human Resources/Risk Management Director
classification, the City will work with the recruiter to immediately begin recruiting for the
position. We anticipate having the position filled within 2-3 months.
Environmental Review:
This action is not subject to CEQA.

Fiscal Impact:
The long-term net fiscal impact of dividing the Administrative Services Department
functions into two departments and establishing a new Human Resources/Risk
Management Director and department is relatively low after factoring in elimination of the
Assistant Director of Administrative Services position when the incumbent retires. It is
essentially the pay and benefits differential between the Assistant Director position and
the Director position. Staff projects an annual increase of approximately $23,700 in salary
and benefits, which is allocated across all funds (General, Water and Sewer).

None required. This classification is non -represented.
