TO: THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: THE CITY MANPCIM OFFICE
COUNCIL MEETING DATE
April 6, 1988
SUBJECT: AUII-EVVE THE RECRUITMENT FOR AND HIRING OF A PERSONNEL DIRECTOR FOR THE
CITY OF LODI
PREPARED BY
A.ssist;xnt City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the establishment of
the management level position of Personnel Director
at a monthly total compensation control point of
$3,976, and authorize the recruitment and hiring of
same.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The personnel office organization and staffing has
remained essentially the same for over 20 years.
This City now has the very real need of a full-time
professional , experienced personnel administrator.
During the last several years we have been fortunate to "get by" in this
critical area absent any problems of significant nature. W can no longer
function efficiently in this manner. To provide the level of service that job
applicants , employees, retired employees, department heads and the public in
general deserve, this position is essential.
Among the reasons for the need for this position are these:
Since 1967 when the personnel office was established, the City
work force has increased by 54%.
There has been no increase in the staffing of this function
since the addition of a clerical position in 1971.
The administration of the workers' compensation function has
become increasingly more complex and time consuming as a result
of a torrent. of legislation and adverse court cases in recent
years.
Equal employment opportunity practices and affirmative action
requirements have become more involved.
There has been ever-increasing administration and monitoring of
employee benefit programs put in place as a result of
negotiation:.

The recommended total compensation figure was arrived at in the
same manner by which the City Council established total compensation for
department heads, that being a differential of the City Manager's total
compensation based on a survey of the same Valley cities. In this case, the
survey revealed a differential in the 62%-63% range, and the recommended
figure is consistent with that.
The City Manager and I will be pleased to answer any questions
Councilmembers may have regarding this recornmendaticn.
