BACKGROUND As part of the 2004 budget process, the Council evaluated civil engineering services and the advantages of hiring an in-house civil engineer. This topic has also been discussed at the November 2003 Work Session and the 2004 Council/Staff Retreat. UPDATE Subsequent to the November 2003 Work Session the civil engineering position has been reviewed further at the staff level. From an organizational perspective, staff is recommending that the position be a direct report to the City Administrator, By doing so, this will give the City Administrator an opportunity to assess the workflow of the position and evaluate where the position would most effectively be placed within the organization at a future date, While the position would report to the City Administrator, it would not be a department head. The position description has been revised to reflect this organizational arrangement.
