Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Administration June G, 2011 Annie Deckert, Economic Develo meat Director Item Description Reviewed by Authorize Hiring Process for the Assistant Economic Lauren Wi er, HR Re resentative Development Manager/Director Reviewed by Action Requested Authorize hiring process for the Assistant Economic Development Manager/Director. Background/Discussion In 2007 following the resignation of the Assistant Director of Economic Development, the position description, title, and pay grade were reviewed when the position was vacated. A recommendation was made by staff to maintain the position at the current pay grade with minor changes to the position description. The Council did not agree with staffs recommendation and took action to lower the position to an entry level position and revised the position to Economic Development Assistant. The Personnel Committee reviewed the new entry level Economic Development Assistant position and recommended it be placed at pay grade seven. The Council ultimately reduced the pay grade to pay grade six at the February 8, 2008 Council meeting. An Economic Development Assistant was hired in April of 2008. From 2008 to 2010, the duties and responsibilities of this position are above entry level and do not appropriately fit the job description; therefore, this position was revised to Marketing and Business Development Administrator in December 2010. This position is responsible for more marketing and communication duties, including the branding and marketing strategy process, in addition to liaison to Northstar Corridor Development Authority Marketing Committee and social media strategy implementation. Major revisions to the position included the addition of the following: • Administers and implements City Wide Branding Campaign while utilizing and promoting City's 2011 adopted Vision and Goals • Develops and monitors Economic Development Authority marketing and Advertising budgets and others as assigned. • Coordinates with the City Clerk to administer and develop marketing plan for social media sites • Provides social media training to City staff. Based on the final action of the title for the Economic Development division manager position, staff recommends changing the title to Assistant Economic Development Manager, or whatever is consistent with that action, and proposes few revisions. Notable revisions include:
