I outlined the number of direct reports; changes in job titles; number of additional hires; and preliminary cost estimates for the proposed changes. Council directed me to return with two (2) plans comparing and contrasting the plan presented (the 3- legged stool), with one that called for four(4)direct reports that included a Community Development Director position. Council has also asked for a comparison of costs to make the changes contained in either plan, and to the extent possible, indicate the people who might be in the proposed positioning changes. The following is an outline of the assumptions and rationale for cost identification related to each plan. I. Assumptions A. "Four-Leg" Stool 1.
