The revised position descriptions and organizational structure for Engineering Division. <br />2. Move Brandon Wisner into the Engineering Project Manager position effective May 3, 2020. <br />3. Move Ryan Sandhoefner into the Engineer 1 position effective May 3, 2020. <br />Background/Discussion <br />As discussed at the May 18, 2020, City Council meeting, we have reworked the position description of our <br />Stormwater Coordinator and Engineering Technician II to better align with our long-term vision for the division <br />which includes cross training and succession planning. The positions are proposed to be replaced with <br />Engineering Project Manager and Engineer I positions respectively. <br />In addition, the vacant Assistant City Engineer position is proposed to be replaced with a Senior Engineering <br />Project Manager description, which at this time, will remain vacant as many of those duties have been absorbed <br />through the action to hire a consultant project manager on May 18. Approval of the Senior Engineering Project <br />Manager position description as this time would complete the full level of changes, we desire to implement. <br />The engineering project manager pay grade is not listed on the attachment. We need further clarification regarding <br />the scoring of the position which will not be available until the date of this meeting. The Council will be informed <br />of the paygrade at that time. <br />Financial Impact <br />The changes proposed with these updates will be budget neutral. The approval will carry backpay for the duties <br />our staff has performed in these roles since the Assistant City Engineer's departure on May 1, 2020. <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />To meet changing needs. <br />Attachments <br />■ Engineering Organization Chart <br />■ Senior Engineering Project Manager Position Description <br />■ Engineering Project Manager Position Description <br />■ Engineer 1 Position Description <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires pi ospei ly. <br />M <br />TUREJ <br />Updated.• August 2020 <br />
