MEMORANDUM
DATE: JULY 2, 1981
TO: PERSONNEL BOARD
FROM: CITY ADMINISTRATOR
It is the feeling of the City Council that the Planning Director
position should be abolished and should be replaced with a more
comprehensive position which would include responsibilities for
community development and redevelopment as well. They directed
me recently to formulate specifications for such a position.
The attached draft is submitted to you for consideration. The
Personnel Clerk has been very instrumental with the formulation
of the specifications , and she has also conducted a salary survey
so that we might be competitive in recruitment.
With this thought in mind, it is my recommendation to the Personnel
Board that a salary of $34 ,000 be the annual advertised salary
for this position and that if approved by City Council that the
person be granted an increase to $35 ,500 annually upon successful
completion of the probationary period.
