RECOMMENDATIONS
Pursuant to the City's Municipal Code Section 2-12 and in order to complete the personnel -
related documentation required for this newly budgeted position, Council is required to
formally adopt the job description and amended salary resolution. As a result, Staff
recommends that the City Council:
1. Approve the new job classification of Assistant Director of Community
Improvement (Attachment 1).
2. Adopt Resolution No. 15- (Attachment 11), which amends Resolution
No.08-59 by establishing the new Assistant Director of Community
Improvement classification with a salary range of $9,526 to $12,766 per
month under the Executive Salary Resolution.
BACKGROUND
With the adoption of the FY 2015-2016 Budget, the City Council approved the creation of
the newjob classification of "Assistant Director of Community Improvement." This executive
management position will have specific responsibilities related to management and
oversight of the Community Improvement Division (CID) within the Development Services
Department. CID was transferred from the CEO's Office to Development Services during a
re -organization of the departments in 2014.
ANALYSIS
The attached job classification of the Assistant Director of Community Improvement
clearly delineates the essential functions and qualification guidelines.
The attached salary range is consistent with the salary schedule for the existing
Division Manager classifications in the Development Services Department.
This management class is distinguished from the Building Official and Assistant
Development Services Director due to the fact that the job responsibilities relate solely to
the Community Improvement Division. The Assistant Director of Community Improvement
will oversee four Code Enforcement Officers whose responsibilities include the
implementation and monitoring of the Group Home Enforcement, Hotel/Motel Enforcement,
Neighborhood Stabilization Programs, and other related community improvement activities
as required. Work is assigned and evaluated by the Deputy CEO/Director of Economic
Development and Development Services. The Development Services Director would
remain as the direct supervisor to this position.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
The recommended action is required pursuant to the City's Municipal Code Section 2-
212 for maintaining and administering a position classification plan. No other
alternatives are identified.
FISCAL IMPACT
The funding for the position was approved by Council on June 23, 2015 as a part of the
FY2015/2016 budget process. Consequently, there is no additional fiscal impact.
LEGAL REVIEW
The City Attorney's Office has prepared and approved documents as to form. Also, the
Costa Mesa Division Managers Association (CMDMA) has been notified of this new job
classification.
CONCLUSION
The new classification was approved by City Council on June 23, 2015 as part of the
Fiscal Year 2015/2016 budget. Pursuant to personnel regulations, it is necessary to
complete the personnel -related documentation required for this newly budgeted position.
The Assistant Director of Community Improvement will oversee four Code Enforcement
Officers whose responsibilities include the implementation and monitoring of the Group
Home Enforcement, Hotel/Motel Enforcement, Neighborhood Stabilization Programs, and
other related community improvement activities as required.
