REQUEST FOR ACTION TO ITEM NUMBER Ma ox and Ci Council 4.5 AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Consent une 4, 2012 Cal Portner, Ci Administrator ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Approve Engineering Technician II Position REVIEWED BY ACTION REQUESTED Approve Engineering Technician II position. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION In a work session following the May 21, 2012, regular Council meeting, the city administrator provided an overview of his proposed staff reorganization plan. The plan included the addition of an Engineering Technician II position. The city does not have an approved Engineering Tech II position. The origina12012 budget request included an upgrade to Engineering Tech II for the existing Tech I vacancy. At the close of the budget discussion, the Ciry Council moved all of the approved vacant Engineering Tech I salary to a contingency fund pending the administrator's staff review and recommendation. An intermediate level, experienced technician provides needed engineering support with very little daily work oversight. Ongoing and planned workloads fax exceed the capacity of the city engineer, who is the lone staff member in this area. FINANCIAL IMPACT The position is anticipated to be filled as anon-exempt grade 7. The City Engineer estimates 20% of the personnel costs will be General Fund-related and the remaining will be reimbursed to the General Fund from Capital Project Funds (40% to Project Funds and 40% would be attributed to NPDS requirements). The 20% not reimbursed from the General Fund, would come out of the $158,550 Council Contingency fox personnel recommendations. The annual General Fund cost is expected to be approximately $14,000 for salary and benefits. The new employee is projected to begin in July.
