Resolution

ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding Resolution No. 2162.  A Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Luis amending the classification and service plan to create two (2) IT positions; superseding any conflicting provision of existing regulation or policies; providing for severability; and declaring an emergency.   (Derek Duenas, IT Manager)

SUMMARY:

The IT department currently has a vacant position that, after being reviewed, it does not meet the demands of the city. The IT Department is requesting to close (in other words, not fill) the current IT Technician position and open two (2) new positions. The positions being requested are IT Helpdesk Technician and Information Technology Specialist (Public Safety). The helpdesk position will help improve the departments' customer service, address any tier-one service requests, and escalate requests to the appropriate technician. The IT Specialist position will specialize in Public Safety information technology. Classification and pay grades have been reviewed and approved by CPS HR Consulting, the agency that did the in-depth studies to update the city's classification plan. Staff recommends approval to amend the two positions so that they may be formally included in the classification plan.


                 Position                                                    Department                     Pay Grade
1. IT Helpdesk Technician                                 Information Technology                 106
2. IT Specialist (Public Safety)                          Information Technology                  202                 

If City Council directs that this item proceeds to the Regular Council Meeting, for the positions to go into effect immediately, the resolution will require six (6) votes of City Council in favor.

On this item, the staff is recommending a second motion to approve the related budget changes. The budget changes require a simple majority vote of the quorum present. 

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2162 TO CREATE THE POSITIONS AS PRESENTED.
