Item #6.6. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />July 10, 2000 <br /> <br />Personnel Committee Recommendations <br /> <br />Economic Development Department <br /> <br />In mid 1995, when the city comp worth plan was updated, the director of <br />economic development position came out with a point ranking, which equated <br />into level 3E of the city pay plan. In 1998, after Paul Steinman had been in <br />the position for a couple of years, he completed a time spent profile in order to <br />reevaluate the comp worth point ranking based on his duties and <br />responsibilities. The profile came back with a ranking of 98, and Paul's pay <br />grade within the city's system was elevated to 5E. The position had certainly <br />changed in nature and increased in responsibility under Paul's management, <br />but this ranking was a surprise. <br /> <br />The position and department continued to evolve and change under Paul's <br />management and in 1999, a new position was established and an assistant <br />director of economic development was hired. The department essentially <br />doubled its manpower and some of the director's work and responsibilities <br />were shifted to the assistant position. (Nonetheless, like all city departments, <br />the ultimate responsibility lies with the department head). The assistant <br />director of economic development position did not have a comp worth pay <br />ranking when it was established, and now that Marc has been in the position <br />for over a year, the time spent profile has been completed. The results are in <br />and the recommendation of the committee, which I support, is that the <br />position be established with a point ranking of 86 and a pay grade of 2E. <br />Additionally it is recommended that Marc's pay be set at $42,110.09 as of <br />July 1, 2000. (Step A of Pay Grade 2E) <br /> <br />During the selection process for Cathy Mehelich, the interview committee <br />and executive search consultant discussed the department and position and <br />how things have changed in the last four years since Paul began his work <br />with the city. Everyone agreed that with Marc Nevinski's increased role in <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
