AGENDA REPORT
Honorable City Council
ITEM
John E. Nowak, Assistant City Manager
23 September 1999 (Meeting of 10/06/99)
SUBJECT: Consider the Addition of a Code Enforcement
Officer I or Code Enforcement Officer II Position
and Reclassifying the Management Analyst Position
in the Administrative Services Department to a
Senior Management Analyst position.
BACKGROUND: As part of the FY 1999/2000 Operating Budget
the City Council approved the positions of Management
Analyst in the Administrative Services Department and Code
Enforcement Intern in the Community Development Department.
The Council is requested to consider adjusting the
Management Analyst position to Senior Management Analyst
and the Code Enforcement Intern to either a Code
Enforcement Officer I or Code Enforcement II position.
DISCUSSION: The FY 99/00 Operating Budget authorizes a
part -time Code Enforcement Intern position in the Community
Development Department, funded with Community Development
Funds. To assist in directing the code enforcement
workload and to begin a more proactive program of
addressing problem areas, it is proposed that the intern
position be replaced with a full -time Code Enforcement
Officer. This position could also assist with the housing
rehab loan programs to expedite the processing and
completion of the work. The total cost of the intern
position is $11,995 for a full year. A Code Enforcement
Officer I position would cost approximately $39,800 for a

full year, or $23,200 for the balance of this fiscal year.
A Code Enforcement Officer II position would cost
approximately $50,020 for a full year, or $29,178 for the
balance of this fiscal year. (See attached chart.) It is
proposed that the recruitment take place for both a CEO I
and a CEO II position with the City Manager deciding at
which level to hire based on the qualification of
applications received.
The Code Enforcement Officer could be paid from revenues
other than Community Development Funds. Both Redevelopment
Housing funds and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
funds can be used for enforcement programs within
limitations. The Agency funds could be used within the
project area and the CDBG funds could be used for any
low /mod housing unit within the City. Federal regulations
for CDBG funds require at least 510 of the inspections
charged to this fund relate to property impacting
households with less than 800 of median income. The Code
Enforcement Officer would need to document inspections made
to certify eligibility. It would be proposed that the
funding division for this new position come equally from
the Community Development, Redevelopment Housing and CDBG
funds. A public hearing for the establishment of the
position with the CDBG program would need to be held at a
later time. Also, resolutions amending the budget would be
presented at a future Council and Agency meeting.
The FY 99/00 budget also contains authorization for a
Management Analyst position in the Administrative Services
Department to provide professional staff support to the
City Manager, the Assistant City Manager and other
departments. Funding was divided between the General Fund
and Redevelopment Fund. Recruitment for the position has
been undertaken and the qualifications of the candidates
warrant the position being classified as a Senior
Management Analyst. In addition, existing Senior
Management Analyst positions in other departments perform
the same level of work as proposed for this position. The
position was originally budgeted for a full year but would
be filled for approximately eight months. The salary

proposed hiring rate is approximately $16,000 per year.
There are sufficient cost savings this fiscal year from the
reduced employment period for this position where the
higher classification would be possible without any budget
adjustment. (See attached chart.) Additional savings will
be realized in the Department as a result of the delay in
filling the Finance Manager position.
RECOMMENDATION: (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED) The City
Council is requested to (1) authorize the addition of a
Code Enforcement Officer I or Code Enforcement Officer II
position, at the City Manager's discretion, and elimination
of the Code Enforcement Intern position in FY 99/00; and
(2) authorize the reclassification of the Management
Analyst position in Administrative Services to a Senior
Management Analyst position.
