AB # 145-35 TITLE: ESTABLISHMENT OF RECORDS DIVISION,
-a- AND SALARY RANGE -’
AND RECORDS MANAGER CLASSIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. ~4-526 establishing the Records Division; establishing the new
classification and salary of Records Manager; and authorizing the transfer of funds.
I ITEM EXPLANATION
In May 1999, Council accepted the Document Management System Requirements Study, and
authorized staff to issue an RFP for a Document Management System. Due to the significant
resources that will be required to implement, support and maintain the system, Council also
approved the addition of four positions: a System Administrator, a Records Supervisor, and two
Document Coordinators. For lack of an appropriate department in which to place the positions,
all were placed in the Information Systems Department.
Staff has now had an opportunity to evaluate these records functions relative to their placement
in the organization. The primary evaluation evolved around the records functions created by
this new program in comparison with the records functions performed by the staff in the City
Clerks Department.
Though the City Clerk’s Department has historically been recognized as the repository for the “official” city records, those records are truly a small portion of all of the records in the City
which the new program will encompass. At the same time, the staff in the City Clerks
Department will have a continuing role with the ““official” city records as well as with the new
records program. Therefore, staff feels the blending of the Records staff and the City Clerks
staff will be appropriate. To maintain the focus on the larger, citywide records and document
management program, staff recommends the establishment of a Records Division reporting to the Administrative Services Director, and the establishment of a Records Manager to lead that
Division.
Though the technical support, and associated System Administrator position, will remain with
the Information Systems Department, the Records Management Supervisor and the two
Document Coordinators (and corresponding funds) in the Information Systems budget will be
transferred to the Records Division budget. Additionally it is recommended that the four full-
time employees and the budget of the City Clerk’s Department (with the exception of the items
related to the position of the elected City Clerk) be transferred to the Records Division budget.
The key responsibilities and qualifications of the Records Manager position are set forth in the
attached Classification Specification. Based on a salary survey of comparable positions in the market and a review of internal relationships, Human Resources recommends the Records
Manager be placed in grade 4 of the Management Salary Structure (minimum $50,700, market range: $57,000 - $69,700). It is also recommended that the City’s Conflict of Interest Code be
amended to require this position to file under disclosure categories 2, 3 & 4.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated total compensation cost for the new position of Records Manager is $83,000.
Funds will be available in the Records Division budget when the positions and appropriate funds are transferred from the Information Systems and City Clerk’s budgets.
