AGENDA TITLE: Amendment to Salary Range for Community Center Director
MEETING DATE: October 4, 1999
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve Salary Range for Community Center Director
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Over the past 20 years, the Lodi Community Center (Hutchins Street Square) has grown from a deserted school site
to a $20 million Community Center with facilities for an 800 seat theater, business conferences, an art center; a
senior day care center, a youth day care facility and a senior center. This was made possible through a partnership
between the City and the Old Union High School Site Foundation (Foundation). The Foundation is a group of local
residents who took on the responsibility to raise funds to restore their old High School into a facility that could serve
the community for years to come.
The goal to restore the school became a reality through the leadership and efforts of the Community Center Director
who was hired 20 years ago. With construction of the last phase of the project in 1997/98, the Foundation assumed
responsibility to re -pay the City for the last $10 million borrowed to complete the Center. As such, the Community
Center Director has a level of responsibility that is not found in other communities.
Over the years, this position has evolved from performing oversight managerial functions to focusing on a revenue
generating component that is integral to the success of Hutchins Street Square, the Lodi High School Foundation,
and the City of Lodi. Additionally, with the major renovation of Hutchins Street Square to include a theatre for
performing arts the financial investment in this facility has increased and expanded the level of activities, which has
required additional expertise to manage.
In reviewing the labor market for the position of Community Center Director, it was found that this position is
unique to the City of Lodi. Cities that have a Community Center do have a Community Center Director. However,
they are not responsible for raising $10 million to re -pay a construction loan. As a result, we have looked at internal
relationships within the City to determine a fair and equitable range.
Based on this evaluation it is recommended that the control point for the Community Center Director be set at $6,322
with a range of $5,690 to $6,955.

There is not immediate cost to the City in making this change since the current salary of the Director is $5,690 and
the bottom of the proposed range is also $5,690. However, the incumbent will be able to earn raises in the future
based on job performance and cost of living adjustments approved by the City Council.
