Councilmember JOHN PATRICK LANE Councilmember MAUREEN W. WALL City Clerk THOMAS P. GENOVESE City Treasurer MEMORANDUM TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager ~):_' ,;:_/ DATE: March 10, 1988 Director of Community Development R. DENNIS DELZEil City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police SUBJECT: AUTHORIZE RECRUITMENT FOR ADDITIONAL PLANNING POSITION As the City Council is aware, the work activities for the Community Development Department have not decreased even with the slow down in residential activity. A number of other items have been delayed or have taken longer than expected due to other demands on staff time. The most noteable example is the General Plan Update. In addition, a number of items have not even been initiated as a result of the current work needs. These include Citywide traffic mitigation report, hillside ordinance, zoning ordinance revision and local planning ordinance. Implementation and administration of development projects, implementation of Measure I F', code enforcement activities, economic development and general public inquiries have all increased to some extent. Another concern that I have is the impact on the Director of Community Development. Because of these and other demands, the management and administrative tasks have by necessity taken a backseat to the processing of applications and preparation of special reports. This is counterproductive in the long run and may be detrimental to the operations of both the Department and the City in general. The Director of Community Development is currently preparing a formal report concerning work activities and needs of the department. The preliminary findings indicate that an additional planning position is likely to be needed. This is in addition to the vacancy in the Associate Planner position. The Director's report will also include funding considerations and the cl-assification level for the proposed position i.e. Senior Planner or Associate Planner level. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529-6864 .. The Honorable City Council March 10, 1988 Page 2 To preclude further de1ay in the event the Council ultimately authorizes an additional position, it is recommended that the Council authorize the recruitment and establishment of ah eMp 1 oyment 1 i st for the Senior Planner classification. The current salary range for Senior Planner is $2,670 -$3,246. The City does not have a current employment list and hasn't conducted an examination for this position in nearly two (2) years. Even if the Council does not subsequently authorize an additional position, the City would have an eligibility list. The recruitment and examination cost should not exceed $500 and ~= ~:-:=~:.:=~-::i :': tf:e 1987/88 ~dnrtPr! h11r!gPt. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Authorize recruitment and establishment of an employment list for the Senior Planner classification.
