CITY OF SEBASTOPOL CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM REPORT FOR MEETING OF:
=========================================================================================== To: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
From: City Manager Don Schwartz
Subject: Approve Community Development Director Classification and Pay Range =========================================================================================== RECOMMENDATION: Establish New Classification of Community Development Director, Approve Related Specification and Pay Range, and Authorize City Manager to Recruit for the position and make any necessary changes to documents, schedules, and staff assignments to affect the changes.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: The City’s current Planning Director position will be vacant on May 1, 2024. This item requests Council’s consideration to establish a new classification of Community Development Director and the related specification and pay range. The new classification is needed to allow the City the flexibility and agility to combine some or all community and economic development services under one department. This item further requests authority to recruit for the new classification of Community Development Director. A recruitment is needed to provide leadership for current projects through the hire of a skilled retired annuitant as an Interim Planning Director for 30-hours per week. California Government Code 7522.56 requires, among other things, that the City recruit for a permanent position during the appointment of a retired annuitant to an interim position.
Staff intends to terminate the retired annuitant appointment upon completion or termination of the recruitment.
BACKGROUND: Planning Director Kari Svanstrom has submitted her notice to separate from City service on April 30, 2024. The Planning Department is in City Hall and consists of three staff members: the Planning Director, an Associate Planner, and a Permit Technician. Major current projects include
1. City Ventures – an 80-unit residential project
2. Awarded Grants:
a) CalTrans Sustainable Transportation ($250,000),
b) Association of Bay Area Governments Priority Development Area Planning Grant ($250,000),
c) State Housing & Community Development “LEAP” Planning Grant – One-time funds to help meet housing element RHNA requirements.
The City’s Economic Development functions have historically been performed by the former Planning Director with input from the City Manager. The Planning Department was responsible for the former Business Outreach Committee as well as was responsible for a contract with the Chamber of Commerce for a former economic development position that was seated in the Chamber of Commerce. Building plan check and permitting functions are performed through a contract for services and supported by a .5 FTE Senior Admin Assistant located in the Fire Department. The City of Sebastopol Building and Safety Division, with input from Engineering, Police, and Planning Departments, provides an integrated approach to code enforcement to promote a clean, safe, and healthy environment for all residents by enforcing the City’s Municipal Code. Staff receives and responds to citizen complaints regarding substandard housing, nuisance abatement, zoning violations, and building use violations.

ANALYSIS: The placement of a retired annuitant as Interim Planning Director is needed to provide leadership to the City’s existing planning staff and lead current initiatives and grant funded projects. An open recruitment is required for hiring a retired annuitant into the Interim role.
Every vacancy is an opportunity to review business needs and organizational structure. We believe that combining planning functions with housing, economic development, and potentially building will create efficiencies. Adding economic development responsibilities to this role may allow us to become more effective at supporting our local economy.
Given the City’s fiscal crisis, we have looked extensively for alternatives to filling the Planning Director position.
We recognize that holding an executive-level position vacant could generate significant savings, and this remains an option. Our efforts have included soliciting proposals for part-time assistance from three planning firms, hoping that hiring them on an interim basis could allow us to meet key expectations while saving money.
However, their costs are around $200/hour, making them prohibitively expensive and well above the costs of filling the position full-time at either the Planning Director or Community Director role.
We also explored filling the position at the Planning Director level, including speaking with qualified candidates and consultants in the field. The labor market for senior-level planning staff is very limited and the role of Community Development Director is a better fit for our long-term needs.
While we propose to create and begin recruitment for the position, we do not anticipate making offers until after budget hearings in June. Holding the position vacant is part of our approach of exploring all options for savings, recognizing that doing so could have significant consequences.
As part of the analysis of the Planning Director position we looked at alternate ways to structure planning and the related activities and services provided by the City by looking at how comparable cities structure related programs and services.
Many cities in Sonoma County combine multiple development and housing related services into one department commonly called a Community Development Department or Development Services Department. The charts below show common structures and the cities and titles of positions who lead their Community Development activities. As you can see, all cities combine planning, building, development, and zoning.

City Council Meeting Packet of: April 23, 2024
Some cities have also combined other functions into the same department such as housing, economic development, engineering, code enforcement, and in a few cases, community sustainability and public art.
The department head titles used for the above departments are listed in the chart below.
Municipality Classification Title
Cloverdale Assistant City Manager/Community Development Director Petaluma Director of Community Development
Healdsburg Community Development Director
Sonoma Community Development Director (established July 2023) Windsor Community Development Director
Rohnert Park Director of Development Services
American Canyon Community Development Director
St. Helena Director of Community Development
Sebastopol’s organizational model separates planning and building into two departments and uses a collaboration of departments for enforcement of related municipal codes. The Council and the City Manager’s office provide input on policies for the Economic Development initiatives for the city. In response to a staffing study conducted and to streamline City services as well as create opportunity for cross training of employees, the Council has previously directed staff to combine the functions of building and planning into a single department as a “onestop-shop” for the community.
The proposed new Community Development Director classification provides for oversight of the City’s planning activities and greater organizational flexibility to include combining related functions into one Community Development department which could include most or all the following over time:
Planning: Development services, current planning, planning plan check and permitting, long-range planning, administration of the City’s General Plan, Housing, and Parks Planning Economic Development: Promotes a healthy and sustainable economy within the community and a business environment to attract, retain, and support the growth of local businesses and visitors Building: Inspection, construction and repair building project plan check, enforcement of the City’s construction codes, investigates complaints against City ordinance, zoning violations, and Housing Code violations Housing: Promote and support the availability, adequacy, and affordability of housing through the City’s guiding policy documents, General Plan, Housing Element, and development codes Code Enforcement: Investigation of complaints against zoning, housing, building, and other development related ordinance and laws, negotiating remedies, and where necessary administering citations and condemnations Combined staffing of these functions in one department can help to streamline permitting and promote collaboration between services and functions. Continuity and collocation of services provides opportunities for cross-training, which may lead to career paths and retention.
The attached new classification specification focuses on planning and adds oversight of economic development, building, and other related programs and functions as assigned by the City Manager and through policy direction from the City Council. The added functions may be performed by staff or through contracted services as City needs evolve over time. Staff recommends establishment of the new classification and approval of the related specification.

SALARY RECOMMENDATION
When establishing a new classification, it is customary to also establish a salary recommendation and new pay range for the classification. To assess market competitiveness, staff surveyed eight similar municipalities.
Market competitiveness is one aspect for consideration when setting salary. Another critical aspect is internal parity with other similar positions within the City. A salary of 5% below or above the market average for a position is considered competitive in the market. A competitive salary contributes to a higher likelihood that a recruitment would be successful and may contribute to the retention of a successful candidate. Sebastopol’s executive pay ranges at the top monthly step currently lag the market averages by between 3% and 28%. The City does not currently have a pay philosophy or policy that sets salary at a level in relation to market.
Internal parity and fiscal sustainability are other important factors in pay administration. Sebastopol’s top monthly salaries for its executives currently are:
Planning Director is the lowest at $13,777 per month. There is not enough data in the City’s comparable labor market to set salary for the Planning Director based on market because many similar municipalities combine services under one director. The added responsibilities of directing a department with combined services such as planning, building, economic development, and code enforcement create a broader and more complex scope of Agenda Item Number: 2
Agenda Item Number: 2

work and increase the responsibilities of the position. Is it typical to value a position a little higher when increasing responsibility and authority. To determine how much more, we looked at the placement of a Community Development Director within the organizational structure of the comparator Cities.
All comparator cities place the Community Development Director below the City Manager in top monthly salary.
Five comparator cities (62.5%) place Community Development Director salary below the Assistant or Deputy City Manager. Half of the cities also place the salary below the Chief of Police. And two of the comparator cities placed the Community Development Director top monthly salary below either the Administrative Services, Finance Director, or the Public Works Director.
Therefore, staff recommends Council consider setting top monthly salary for the new Community Development Director below that of the City Manager and somewhere between market average and possibly at or below that of the City’s Assistant City Manager / City Clerk.
Among the city’s comparator entities, the average differential between City Manager and Community Development Director is 30% below the City Manager. The average differential between Assistant City Manager and Community Development Director is 7% below Assistant City Manager. Sebastopol’s Assistant City Manager / City Clerk salary is 17% below market average resulting in limited space to set salary for Community Development Director significantly below Assistant City Manager / City Clerk without compromising competitiveness in the market which can affect the City’s ability to recruit qualified candidates. Options, differentials, and market placement for salary ranges between Assistant City Manager and the Market Average are shown below for consideration and Council direction.
Staff recommends Council select one of the following options for setting pay for the Community Development Director. The options are shown in text and chart form for clarity:
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Option A: Set top monthly wages at 10% below the Market Average and 35.7% below the City Manager ($15,043).
This is also slightly below the Assistant City Manager. We believe this option to be a balance of responsive to our fiscal situation and relatively competitive in the market.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH:
This item has been noticed in accordance with the Ralph M. Brown Act and was available for public viewing and review at least 72 hours prior to the scheduled meeting date. The City has also used social media to promote and advertise the City Council Meeting Agenda Items.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Considering the City’s fiscal crisis, we have looked extensively for alternatives to filling the Planning Director position. Holding the position open provides a savings estimated to be just over $40,000 for FY23-24 and approximately $204,000 for FY 24-25. At least in the short-term, this is not recommended. Higher level leadership is necessary to continue to shepherd forward the current project list and several grant funded initiatives, and to support the city’s existing planning staff.
Filling the position at the Planning Director level with qualified consultants on a project-level basis is also not recommended. Consultants quoted their assistance at an average of $200 an hour which is more costly than the Planning Director position and therefore, cost prohibitive.
Therefore, staff will hire a skilled retired annuitant as an Interim Planning Manager to support the existing planning staff, the City, and Council, at least in the short term, and recommends establishment of the new position. Government Code 7255.56 requires the City to recruit for the vacant position during the appointment of a retired annuitant to an interim role. The salary savings from the Planning Director vacancy will be used to pay the FY 23-24 estimated cost of $32,000 for the retired annuitant. The cost of the recruitment required, estimated to be $3,000 - $5,000, is included in the current agreement with the City’s human resources consultant.
While we propose to create and begin recruitment for the position, we do not anticipate making offers until after budget hearings have concluded. Holding the position vacant is part of our approach of exploring all options for savings, recognizing that doing so may result in unintended consequences.

Should the Council decide to authorize the hiring of a Community Development Director in the future, and should the city be successful in negotiating a placement of the successful candidate at a low step in the approved pay range, each option provides some savings from the current planning director compensation at lower ranges. This is because the current Planning Director also receives $3,300 in longevity pay due to her tenure with the City which the new Director will not.
