We received only one letter of interest and were pleased that it was from <br /> Jeremy Barnhart. <br /> Jeremy has worked for the city as the Planning Manager since May 2006, and has proved to be a <br /> dedicated professional. During past vacancies of the department director,Jeremy took the initiative to <br /> lead the Community Development Department to ensure staff remained cohesive and continued to <br /> operate effectively. Jeremy meets or exceeds all of the qualifications for this position and we are excited <br /> to offer it to him. <br /> Upon council approval,Jeremy will begin his new position tomorrow,March 5, 2013, at pay grade 14, <br /> step C. Based on satisfactory performance,Jeremy will be eligible for a step increase following six <br /> months in this position. As negotiated when he was hired in 2006,Jeremy will continue to accrue <br /> vacation at the rate of three weeks per year until he is due to increase per the city's vacation schedule. All <br /> other pay increases and benefits will be consistent with city policy. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT <br /> Funds for this promotion are included in the 2013 budget. Funds were budgeted for both the planning <br /> manager and the community operations and development deputy director positions. Jeremy will continue <br /> to perform some of the planning manager duties and others will be allocated between the planner and a <br /> budgeted planning intern position that will be filled in the near future. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> None <br /> POWERED 0 <br /> N:\Public Bodies\City Council\Council RCA\Agenda Packet\03-04-2013\4.5.docx 4A f U R E <br />
