Decision Package #63 - Waterfront & Economic Development Manager Pay Range Increase. The Waterfront and Economic Development Department has struggled in its recruitment for the position of Waterfront and Economic Development Manager. The role is very unique and requires a wide variety of expertise in harbor operations, land use matters, property management, real estate, and project/construction management.
Increasing the maximum salary range for the position by $30,000 is expected to make the position more attractive to qualified candidates that can provide immediate value to the Department. Recommended is an ongoing appropriation of $15,000 to the Tidelands Fund and $15,000 to the Uplands Fund to increase the top end of the position's salary range from $119,436 to $149,436.
