City of <br /> Elk REQUEST FOR ACTION <br /> River <br /> TO ITEM NUMBER <br /> Mayor and City Council 4.12 <br /> AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY <br /> Consent May 20, 2013 Tina Allard, City Clerk <br /> ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By <br /> Communications Coordinator Position Description and Pay Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> Grade Classification REVIEWED BY <br /> ACTION REQUESTED <br /> Approve by motion the following: <br /> 1. Communications Coordinator position description,placed at Pay Grade 7. <br /> 2. RaeAnn Gardner as communications coordinator at Pay Grade 6, Step D effective May 21, 2013. <br /> BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION <br /> The City Council reviewed the new Communications Coordinator position description and pay grade <br /> classification at their May 13, 2013, meeting. <br /> RaeAnn Gardner has worked to develop the position over the past six months and has performed very <br /> well. The position requirements score in Pay Grade 7, however Ms. Gardner does not fully meet the <br /> educational requirements. Because of an overlap in the city Pay Grade structure (the last two steps in <br /> Grade 6 fall within Grade 7), staff proposes to promote Ms. Gardner into the new position at Grade 6 <br /> until full experience/education requirements are fulfilled, at which time she would be moved to the same <br /> wage in Pay Grade 7 until capping out at the final step. <br /> Per city policy, she would be eligible for a step increase in July 2014, based on a satisfactory performance <br /> review. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT <br /> Ms. Gardner's previous position was classified as Pay Grade 5 as determined by the City of Elk River <br /> Compensation and Classification Plan. <br /> The approved position entails a different degree of responsibility, accountability, education/experience <br /> and decision-making and after review in accordance with the city classification plan it is proposed to <br /> compensate at Pay Grade 6 pending completion of education / experience requirements for the position. <br /> The promotion provides for a pay increase commensurate with the new position and will be funded <br /> through Council Contingency if not absorbed by the division. The impact of the increase is projected to <br /> be approximately$1,500 for 2013. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> ■ Communications Coordinator Position Description <br /> N:\Public Bodies\Agenda Packets\05-20-2013\X4.12 SR Comm Coord.docx Na <br />
