. ~ ~~HILLS MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: Mayor and City Council y,/;; loe Lynch, City Administrator O~- Organizational Structure Change Appointment of Operations and Maintenance Director TO: FROM: cc: Personnel file DATE: April 26, 2002 BACKGROUND . The City Administrator brought a proposal to change the organizational structure of the City staff and realignment of some of the functional areas to City Council in 2000. The City Council authorized the City Administrator to hire two support staff positions and to return to the City Council with job descriptions and information on salary and ranges for the positions of Operations and Maintenance Director and Administrative Services Director. City Administrator provided City Council with the job descriptions for the aforementioned positions for review and discussion and to receive authorization to begin the hiring process for these positions. Subsequent to that, Council discussed the organizational change and reviewed the proposed positions along with the major areas of responsibility for each. At your Council Worksession on April 15, 2002, I believe there was general agreement that the proposed structural change on the Operations and Maintenance side should go forward, This includes the positions of Operations and Maintenance Director, Operations and Maintenance Superintendent, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Operations and Maintenance Labor. Some discussion is still needed about the title for the other position and alignment of duties and responsibilities that would include oversight of economic development and community planning. My understanding is that the Council does desire to discuss this as a separate topic. . As part of the discussion at the Worksession on April 15, 2002, the Council did hear the City Administrator say his desire is to hire an internal candidate and bring that recommendation forward. There was also discussion about the hiring process and whether it was legally required for the City to complete an outside process. My understanding is that we are not legally required to do that.
