Consider a Resolution to Authorize a Recruitment for a Management Analyst

The City recently accepted the resignation of two full-time employees; the Deputy City Administrator/Community Development Director and the Economic Development/Marketing Manager.  The City Administrator, in consultation with the the City Council, has determined that the two positions mentioned above will not be filled in the foreseeable future.   However, the City currently employs a Planning/Management Intern and  through adjustments to that position the City has options to help alleviate some of the duties left vacant by the resignations. 

After extensive analysis, the City Administrator has determined that the elimination of the Planning/Management Intern and the creation of a full-time regular Management Analyst position is a means to help absorb some of the administrative and planning division work; thereby creating a position that will have more time and will perform some of the higher level duties left vacant by the Deputy City Administrator/Community Development Director and the Economic Development/Marketing Manager.

Attached,  please find a draft Management Analyst job description which provides a listing of the job duties; as well as the Needs Analysis for Vacant and New Positions.

To authorize staff to eliminate the Planning/Management Intern and to conduct a recruitment process for a full-time regular Management Analyst position. 

The net 2012 funding required for the Management Analyst position is approximately $19,299.  This amount takes into account the savings realized by eliminating the already budged for Planning/Management Intern position.   The 2013 funding for this position is expected to be approximately $59,803.

Motion to approve resolution # 12-04-XXX confirming the recommendation of the Personnel Committee to eliminate the Planning/Management Intern and to conduct a recruitment process for a full-time regular Management Analyst position.
