At that time, the duties and responsibilities evaluated were those included in managing the City's Information and Complaint O�ce functions. The position now has the responsibilities of the old City Cierk position with the exception of City Council secretary duties, voter registration, and conducting municipal elections. While officially allocated to the Citizens Service Progam Directot class this position is commonly referred to as the City Clerk. The old City Clerk/Commissioner of Registration class was assigned to Non-rep. grade 22. Further responsibilities added to the position ate associated with economic development.

A new QES evaluation of the position, taldng into consideration the addition of the aforementioned responsbilities, revealed an incsease in the factor level awards for the factors of Knowledge Required, Effect of Actions, Mental Effort, and Units Supervised. The Knowledge required factor increased from a level seven to level eight because the position needs advanced lrnowledge of the work required in order to carry out a very wide variety of assignments.

Before the assignment of all three programs the position was required to have work knowiedge with sufficient comprehension to perform varied assignments in the field. The impact the duties and responsibilides of the Citizens Service Program Director position have on the organization and the community has increased, especially with the addition of the Housing Code Enforcement program.

Analvsis The Citizens Service Program Director class, formeriy entitled Information and Compiaint Oflicer, is currently assigned to gade 20, of emplayee group 17, Non-represented City Managers. This grade assignment was based on a 7une 13, 1988, QE3 job evatuation and anatysis. At that time, the duties and responsibilities evaluated were those included in managing the City's Information and Complaint O�ce functions. The position now has the responsibilities of the old City Cierk position with the exception of City Council secretary duties, voter registration, and conducting municipal elections. While officially allocated to the Citizens Service Progam Directot class this position is commonly referred to as the City Clerk. The old City Clerk/Commissioner of Registration class was assigned to Non-rep. grade 22. Further responsibilities added to the position ate associated with economic development. This position oversees the activities of an Assistant to the Mayor III in Non-rep. grade 4'IC, Public Information Specialists in PEA grade 13, a City Web Master in SPSO gade 20, aad an IS InfozmationlTechnical Anaiyst I in AFSCME Tech., grade 30. These positions perform duties marketing and promoting the City. Those du6es include the determination of internal and etctemal promotional needs, the development of a comprehensive marketing and communications pian, the marketing and promotion of the City as a place for special events, the development of special events, and the development and maintenance of positive relationships with special interest groups. Most recentiy, this position has been assigned the responsibility of managing the Housing code Enforcement program that until the recent joint powers agreement with Itamsey County, had been a part of the Division of Public FIealth. The Housing Code Inspection Supervisor, which is in SPSO grade 21, now reports to this position along with an Administrative Assistant in Non-rep. grade 16, a Police Sergeant Police grade 35, a Management Assistant II in PEA grade 9, and a . , � , i ,' number of Environmental Health Inspectors Supervisors in AFSCME Tech. Grade 40, and Environmental Health Inspectors in AFSCME Tech. Grade 35. The Housing Code Enforcement Program is highiy visible with the public. Also, the Mayor has made addressmg housing issues a top priority ofhis administration. A new QES evaluation of the position, taldng into consideration the addition of the aforementioned responsbilities, revealed an incsease in the factor level awards for the factors of Knowledge Required, Effect of Actions, Mental Effort, and Units Supervised. The Knowledge required factor increased from a level seven to level eight because the position needs advanced lrnowledge of the work required in order to carry out a very wide variety of assignments. These assignments can be very difficult and unusual given the nature of the work performed in the Information and Complaint, Marketing, and Housing Code Enforcement programs. There is a great range of public and employee relations activities within the three areas. Before the assignment of all three programs the position was required to have work knowiedge with sufficient comprehension to perform varied assignments in the field. The impact the duties and responsibilides of the Citizens Service Program Director position have on the organization and the community has increased, especially with the addition of the Housing Code Enforcement program. The importance of housing programs has increased with the citizens and consequently with the Mayor's administration. The work of this position was primarily concemed with ensuring the proper design and operation of the information and complaint system. Now the work of this position produces a service that affects the development of a major City program. This position oversees a program charged with solv'sng housing problems and developing new approaches to the problems. Consequently, the level awazd for the factor of Effect of Actions has increased &om a level four to a level five. The work of the Citizens Service Program Director has changed from, primarily varied duties of a standard nature related to managing the City Clerk and Information and Complaint Office activities to duties that aze non-standard and highly unusuai with the addition of the Housing Code Enforcement program. The position is now faced with more abstract situations requiring legal analysis. Therefore, the factor level award for the factor that measures the mental effort required to do the job has increased from a level three to a level four. With the addition of the Mazketing and Promotions and the Aousing Code Enforcement programs, the number of employees supervised, either directly or indirectiy through subordinates, has increased from less than 15, to over 50. Consequently, the factor award for the factor of Units Supervised has increased from a level three to a level five. The overall increase in QES job evaluation points resuking from the four factor level changes, places the position in Non-rep. grade 26. This is the same pay rate as the Program Administrator position overseeing the overall acquisition and maintenance of municipal vehicles and small engines. It is also the same pay rate assigned to the Confidernial Program Administrator position in PED and the Assistant Director of Human Resources. St. Paul Supervisors Organization represented classes with a similar compensation rate are the PED Program Administrators, Police ��-a-�D Research and Grants Manager and Principal Designer. Recommendation It is recommended that a resolution be processed changing the rate of pay for the Citizens Service Program Director gade 20 (salary range of $48,544 to $65,644) to grade 26 (salary range of $56,983 to $77,369) of the Employee Group 17, Non-represented City Managers salary schedule. It is also recommended that the advisory specification be updated to include the new duties in overseeing the activities associated with the City Clerk, Marketing and Promotions and Housing Code Enforcement functions. It is further recommended that an ordinance be drafted amending the minimum qualifications for the position by increasing the professional level experience requirement and supervisory/management. This recommendation is warranted by the significant increase in responsibility assigned to the position.
