EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In the FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027 Biennial Budget, the City Council authorized the new Revenue Coordinator and Junior Accountant classifications to address operational needs while creating a sustainable professional career path.

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT
The program supports Goal B, Governance and Organization Effectiveness, by aligning critical city services with current staffing levels.
BACKGROUND
With the adoption of the FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027 Biennial Budget, the city created Revenue Coordinator and Junior Accountant positions. The Revenue Coordinator classification will streamline revenue collection and administration by guiding other classifications on day-to-day revenue activities, reviewing compliance information, identifying discrepancies, and supporting audits and collection efforts. This position will allow the Revenue Collections Manager to focus on higher-level operational and administrative duties, including maintaining internal controls and accountability, revenue forecasting and long-range planning, overseeing tax and fee compliance programs, interpreting policies and regulations, and overseeing staff performance and development.
The Revenue Coordinator position is intended to increase project completion efficiency.

A new classification/compensation and job specification has been developed for this position and is attached as Exhibit A.
The Junior Accountant classification establishes an entry-level professional accounting classification within the Accounting series, with employees expected to take on increasingly complex assignments and greater independence as they gain experience.
The position provides accounting support while developing employees’ knowledge and experience in governmental accounting, budgeting, grants, and financial reporting.
DISCUSSION
The proposed salary for the Revenue Coordinator and Junior Accountant classifications is intended to meet the Finance Department's operational needs, reflect the experience and skills required for the role, and support the programs and services provided by the Revenue and Accounting division. The compensation recommendation was developed after reviewing external market data and evaluating the position’s internal alignment within the job series and division structure. The City also met in good faith with OE3 PEG, as required by law. The salary determination is as follows:

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact as funding for this position was included in the FY 2025-2026 and FY 2026-2027 Adopted Biennial Budget.
