AGENDA REPORT
CITY OF MOORPARK
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Steven Kueny, City Manager R�
DATE: January 3, 1997 (CC Meeting of January 15, 1997)
SUBJECT: Consider Compensation Adjustment for the Deputy City
Manager and Public Works Director During Vacancy in
Director of Community Services Position
BACKGROUND:
In early July 1996, the Director of Community Services' position
became vacant. At that time, the Public Works Director was
assigned responsibility for the Parks, Landscape and Facilities
Division of the Community Services Department. This included
providing direction to the Maintenance and Operations Supervisor.
The Deputy City Manager was assigned responsibility for the
Administration, Recreation, Senior Citizens, and Cable Television
activities. This included providing direction to two Recreation
Supervisors and the department's Administrative Secretary. These
assignments have ended effective January 4, 1997, with the
appointment of Mary Lindley as acting Director of Community
Services.
Typically, when a person is appointed to an acting position, he
receives a minimum of 5 percent (5?1�) and usually 10 percent
(10%), or more, to accept the additional responsibility. In this
case, the Deputy City Manager is it a higher classification
and retained his current responsibilities. The Public Works
Director is in a lateral classification and retained his current
responsibilities. Neither of them has received any additional
compensation for the added responsibillities.
It is recommended that the Deputy City Manager receive an
additional 72 hours and the Public Works Director 48 hours of
administrative leave to be used by December 31, 1997, with the
option to request payment in cash for all or part by June 30,
1997, at their discretion. This represents the equivalent of 12
hours for the Deputy City Manager and 8 hours for the Public
Works Director for each of the six (6) months they assumed the
additional responsibilities.

The 120 hours have a value of about $5,700. The funds are
available from the estimated $33,722 in savings realized from the
position vacancy. If one or both of them opt for payment, it
will be charged to the Community Services Department. No budget
amendments or appropriations are required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve an additional 72 hours of administrative leave for
Richard Hare, Deputy City Manager, and 48 hours of administrative
leave for Ken Gilbert, Public Works Director, with use consistent
with this report.
