Regular City Council Meeting Monday,April 11,2011 Page 12 Councilmember Pust reviewed some of the various duties for this continuously evolving event as an HRA showcase and marketing effort for Roseville to encour- age environmental stewardship. While noting that the Living Smarter Fair was a large piece of the duties of this position, Councilmember Pust noted that when the HRA was first created, the Community Development Director had served as their Executive Director and hands-on person; and that the HRA was attempting to transition that position back to its regular operating duties, with less time spent on HRA activities as applicable. Councilmember Pust noted that it represented a re- sponsible way for government to look at how it used its limited resources at vari- ous levels. City Manager Malinen concurred with Councilmember Pust's comments; and noted that going back to 2007, transitioning within the City Manager and Com- munity Development Director positions, and lower level staff supporting the posi- tions, had continued to evolve following Ms. Kelsey's hire and her taking on more of those duties. Mayor Roe concurred with comments of both Councilmember Pust and City Manager Malinen, noting that transitioning those duties would get the Community Development Director position back on track. At the request of Councilmember Pust, City Manager Malinen advised that this action was before the City Council due to creation of a new job classification, not just adjusting an existing job description; and included a change in salary range. Councilmember Pust noted that while the job description came before the City Council for review and approval, the position was funded in its entirety from HRA Levy funds. Mayor Roe concurred, noting that the position was budgeted by the HRA from their 2011 Levy, which had remained the same as the 2010 Levy. Johnson moved, Pust seconded, authorizing the reclassification of the Housing Program Coordinator position to a Housing Program manager position; and fur- ther move that Jeanne Kelsey, currently the Housing Program Coordinator be promoted to the Housing Program Manager position, retroactive to January 1, 2011. Councilmember McGehee noted, even with this discussion, she was very im- pressed with Ms. Kelsey's job performance and her most recent presentation to the City Council. Roll Call Ayes: Willmus; McGehee; Pust; Johnson; and Roe.
