Represented CiTy Managers. The salary is $71,088 to $96,740, annually.
Based strictly on a comparison of duries and responsibilities, type of City legislative codes and State
statutes enforced by the unit, and the staff size, the position in question compares most closely with the
Fire Marshall position. However, the Fire Marshall is a classified position that works under the general
supervision of an Assistant Fire Chief, while the Director of Neighborhood Housing and Property
Improvement is an "at will" position that reports directly to the Mayor. Also, much of the work
conducted by the new department is complaint based, while much of the work of the Fire Prevention
Division is conducted on a scheduled basis. These factors would make the new position much more
politically sensirive.
Regarding the minimum qualifications for the new Director of Neighborhood Housing and Property
Improvement, attached is a listing of the current minimum qualifications for department and office
directors. The ordinance drafted to establish the new department indicates that prior to appointment
of the new director, the Council may prescribe minimum qualifications by ordinance.
O. E. S. Evaluafion and Anal,�sis
The QES analysis supports assigning the position to grade 29 of the Non-represented City
Managers, Employee Group 17, Salary Schedule. The salary range is $71,088 to $96,740.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the position be allocated to the new unclassified position titled Director of
Neighborhood Housing and Property Improvement and assigned to grade 29 of Employee Group 17,
the Non-Represented City Managers Salary Schedule. It is further recommended that the minimum
qualifications for the position be advisory. Minimum qualifications serve to establish limits on the
pool of candidates. Minimum qualificarions for unclassified posirions appointed by the Mayor and
serving "at will" like the position in quesrion, are better left "advisory." This gives flexibility so the
minimum qualifications can be established, following a study, at the rime a vacancy is announced
prior to posting the selecrion process. This makes the qualificarions more up to date and relevant.
