DISCUSSION
Human Resources
The number of separations from the City has increased over the past few years, resulting in a recruitment backlog. The number of separations has slowed and staff continues reduce the number of outstanding recruitments. However, the Human resources Department needs additional temporary resources to fully meet the needs of City departments and fill vacant positions.
The Human Resources Department proposes establishing a Human Resources / Risk Management Analyst (HR / RM) Series classification designated as limited term and at-will. The City would appoint incumbents to this classification to complete special projects of a limited duration with established project end dates and seek candidates with a municipal recruitment background to fill a limited term assignment. Incumbents would serve at-will, subject to compensation in the Confidential / Nonrepresented employees resolution. Municipal Code Sections 2.33.010 and 2.33.020 related to City disciplinary and appeals procedures would not apply due to the at-will status, Each limited term / at-will HR / RM Analyst would serve at the pleasure of the Director of Human Resources and the City may discharge without cause.
Staff recommends creating a Human Resources / Risk Management Analyst Series (Limited Term / At-Will) classification and assigning positions to the same salary ranges as the current Human Resources / Risk Management Analyst Series:
HR / RM Analyst I (Limited Term / At-Will) Range 863 $68,449-$87,360 HR / RM Analyst II (Limited Term / At-Will) Range 870 $73,738-$94,114 Senior HR / RM Analyst (Limited Term / At-Will) Range 877 $82,618-$105,441 Library
The City last revised the Library Technical Services Assistant classification in July 2005. The scope of work has changed since that time to include more involvement with library staff technology support. Technology has also changed requiring updated language within the classification specification. Library staff requested revising the title to Library Technology Assistant which library personnel find more recognizable and more reflective of the position duties.
Staff does not propose changing the salary range.
