<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - April 28, 2008 <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember McClung seconded <br />a motion to approve the Consent Calendar and to authorize execution of <br />all necessary documents contained therein. The motion carried <br />unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />S. PULLED CONSENT ITEMS <br /> <br />4D. Motion to Approve the Customer Support Specialist Job <br />Description and to Reclassifv the Customer Service Representative to the <br />Customer Support Specialist Position. <br /> <br />Finance Director Iverson stated in 2007 the City Council authorized a compensation study of <br />all City positions. During this study, it was found that the Customer Service Representative <br />position did not quite fit into the new scale. The City's consultant recommended that this <br />position should be integrated into a new Customer Service Specialist position, which is a new <br />title for the current Office Support Specialist position. This integration would speed efficiencies <br />for the City. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that he would like to see this item held off until after the new City <br />Administrator can be hired. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung agreed with Councilmember Grant. <br /> <br />Mayor Harpstead stated that he would be in favor of moving forward. He also stated that he <br />would like to see the new City Administrator deal with the larger issues right away and that these <br />positions report to the Director of Finance and the City Administrator would delegate to that <br />person. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant stated that even though the person reports to the Director of Finance the <br />City Administrator would delegate the organizational reports and moving this forward may tie <br />the hands of the incoming City Administrator. <br /> <br />MOTION: Mayor Harpstead moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a <br />Motion to Approve the Customer Service Specialist Job Description and to <br />Reclassify the Customer Support Representative to the Customer Service <br />Specialist Position. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes asked for clarification regarding the job duties of the three individuals <br />involved. <br /> <br />Finance Director Iverson explained that the only difference was that one person was not able to <br />issue permits and with the reclassification this person would be trained to do this as well so that <br />all three individuals would be doing the same jobs. <br />
