BACKGROU ND INFORMATION The Community Development Department is comprised of three divisions: Building, Neighborhood Services, and Planning. The City Manager has been serving as the Community Development Director in addition to his role as the City Manager for the past five years. With an increased volume of building and planning activities, along with the recent resignation of the City Planner, the City Manager wishes to fill the vacancy with a Community Development Director. The Community Development Director will be a working supervisor with oversight of three CDD divisions. The new director will be tasked with performing a workload analysis in the department and report back to Council on any unmet demands. Staff reviewed the Community Development Director job description and propose amendments to the job description to reflect knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for the Director position. Staff is not recommending an increase to the salary which is currently $140,332.09. FISCAL IMPAGT:The fiscal impact in FY 2019120 to the Community Development Fund would be approximately $45,000. The General Fund has been receiving support from Community Development to recognize City Manager time spent serving as the Director. Given a new director will take time to get up to speed, there is no need to adjust the FY 2019-20 transfer, however in future years, the additional direct transfer of 50% ($149,000) of the City Manager's cost to the General Fund will not be justified.
