CITY OF LODI COUNCILCOMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Class Specification and Adjustment To the Control Point for Human
Resources Director
MEETING DATE: September 4, 1996
SUBMITTED BY: City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: To approve the class specification and adjustment to the
Control Point for Human Resources Director.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The position of Human Resources Director has changed
significantly since its inception in 1988. At that time the
position was given the charge to become a full service department. The position has not only achieved
that directive, but in doing so, has assumed additional functional responsibilties (e.g. the absorbtion of
risk management, and labor negotiations). A survey of the City of Lodi's management survey cities
reveals that the Control Point should be adjusted to $69,240. The increase in position's functional
responsibilities within the last several years, places this position at a level of comparability to similar
positions in other cities with higher levels of compensation.
It is recommended to approve the specification attached, and adjust the control point to the survey mean
of $69,240.
COST: The cost is subject to City Manager discretion in assigning a salary to the incumbent within
the Control Point range. The current salary of the Human Resources Director is $64,730.
FUNDING: General Fund.
