Adopt a Resolution Approving Revisions to the Job Description and Salary Range
for the Position of Construction Project Manager
August 6,2014
Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving revisions to the job description and
salary range for the position of Construction Project Manager
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Over the last several years, the City has experienced attrition
through retirements and resignations, resulting in numerous
unfunded and vacant positions across the City. Staff members have
been assigned additional duties and tasks; as such, some may be
performing higher level work. Consequently, the Human Resources division has experienced an
increase in requests for job reclassification studies
Upon request of the Lodi City Mid-Management Association (LCMMA), Human Resources conducted a
review and analysis of the Construction Project Manager position in the Public Works Department. This
analysis included discussions with the incumbent and the Public Works Director, as well as a review of
the current job description, job duties being performed and salary information. Based on the review, it
was determined that the incumbent is performing supervisorial duties (i.e., writing performance
evaluations, planning, training, and reviewing the work of subordinate staff) that are not currently listed in
the job description and were previously performed by a since retired Senior Civil Engineer. ln addition,
the Construction Project Manager assumed responsibility for project management for the Parks Division
and Public Works roadway and utility projects that were previously performed by the Senior Civil
Engineer. Upon the retirement of the Senior Civil Engineer, these additional duties have been assigned
to the Construction Project Manager.
The City wishes to amend the job description to include the additional duties and responsibilities that are
currently being performed and to amend the salary schedule to provide compensation for these additional
duties.
After discussions with and concurrence from LCMMA, staff requests Council approve the job description
and salary range for Construction Project Manager ($7t,gSS - $87,340) which is approximately 13
percent above the current salary effective March 3, 2014. This job description will remain within the
LCMMA Bargaining Unit.
FISCAL IMPACT:about $12,500 annually will result from theA net increase of
reclassif ication.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Absorbed within existi ng riations of the Public Works Department.
