HR AMENDING THE MISCELLANEOUS SALARY SCHEDULE FOR CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER CITY MGR=- IECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution No. y'+'+"revising the classification and salary plan for Code Enforcement Officer I and Code Enforcement Officer 11. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Code Enforcement Division of Community Development is responsible for ensuring that builders, business owners, and property owners adhere to City codes, ordinances, and abatement regulations. The Code Enforcement Division is responsible for regulating noise, animal control, vehicle storage, littering, zoning, and illegal use of private property and public right of way. In reviewing the classification plan, Human Resources and the Community Development Department determined that a study of the Code Enforcement Officer classification should be conducted with the intent of enhancing the City's ability to attract, retain, and develop a professional code enforcement staff. A Human Resource consulting firm conducted a review of the current classification and salary structure. Historically, the City has had one classification of Code Enforcement Officer which was assigned the full range of code enforcement responsibilities. As the City continues to grow, the need for professional code enforcement has also grown. The consultant study recommended that the City create the following: 1) Code Enforcement Officer I: Establish an entry level Code Enforcement Officer I which provides a trainee classification that will offer the opportunity for on-the-job experience in preparation for advancement to journey level code enforcement positions. 2) Code Enforcement Officer 11: Convert the current Code Enforcement Officer classification to a Code Enforcement Officer I1 classification. This classification will not only allow for professional completion of the full range of code enforcement activity, but will be responsible for providing instruction and guidance to less experienced staff. PAGE 2 OF AB# /<, 953 FISCAL IMPACX The proposed salary range for Code Enforcement Officer I is Range 43 of the Miscellaneous Salary Schedule which equals $25,921.22 to $31,507.32 on an annual basis.
