PREPARED BY: Denise Garcia, Human Resources/Risk Management Manager SUBJECT: Adoption of the Job Description and Pay Range for the Position of Building Inspector I.
===========: ===
Recommendation:
Adopt the Job Description and Pay Range for the Position of Building Inspector I.
Background:
The City allocated one (1) full time permanent Building Inspector I position for the fiscal year 2022/23. There is not a properly approved job description or salary range for the position of Building Inspector I currently on file. For auditing purposes and to reduce exposure to liability, it is necessary for City Council to formally approve all job descriptions and salary ranges.
Discussion & Analysis:
An approved job description and salary range must be approved prior to the recruitment and/or hiring process being initiated. Approval of this classification enables the City to begin the first steps of implementing a succession plan in the Building and Planning Department. By developing and training entry level positions the Department will be better prepared for promotions, retirements, or other departures by having their replacement ready to start. Formal job descriptions allow supervisory staff to set performance measures and organize accountability with the position, and track progress, for the completion of annual evaluations.
