CLASSTFICATION STUDY RESULT
We have compieted our study of the Pazks and Recreation Director position held by Robezt
Bierscheid. We have reviewed relevant job information, discussed the position with HR
Administration, and compazed the posirion with related classes and positions. Internal
department director comparisons include the Director of City Council Operations, Director of
Technology and Communications, Human Resources Director, Library Airector, and
Director of Public Works classifications. A mazket analysis was also conducted, comparing
the position to the director positions of the Ramsey County and Minneapolis Parks and
Recrearion Depariments.
'I`his study indicates that the position performs functions at a higher salary grade than
currently assigned. Therefore, the Parks and Recrearion Director classificafion should be
assigned to grade 36 of the Non-Represented Employee Group satary schedule. Intemal QES
analysis indicates the position performs broad management funerions with an expert-level of
understanding in a range of administrative roles. 'I`his position d'uects and manages the
comprehensive development strategies for Parks and Recreation. The depth of understanding
required for aspects of planning and program management, technical expertise,
communication, and staff management competencies exceed the competency levels
associated with some director posifions such as Library Director and the D'uector of
Technology and Communicatiotts classificafions.
In addition, market comparisons were made with the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation
Director and the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Superintendent positions. Market
evaluation revealed the comparison posirions aze compensated higher than the City Parks and
Recreation Director position. [Jpgrading the studied position by four salary grades and
considering the full compensation package, would place this posirion slighdy below the
Ramsey County and Minneapolis director positions.
The Ramsey County and Minneapolis positions are sunilaz, in many regazds, to the City
Pazks and Recreation D'uector position. All posirions manage parks and recreation systems
that include golf courses, numerous pazks, trails, recreation facilities, and park facilities.
An Affirmative Action Equal Opportuniry ADA Employer
Responsibilities and scope of job functions of the Ramsey County Pazks and Recreation
D'uector compaze closely to those delegated to the Saint Paul Parks and Recreadon Director
classi&cation. The Minneapolis Superintendent position has executive authority for the pazks
and recreation fitnction sepazate firom the City of Minneapolis. This additionai role broadens
the scope of responsibility for this comparison position. Therefore, the remaining salary
difference appears appropriate due to distinctions between the Minneapofis and Saint Paul
director positions.
Should you choose to reallocate the position, City Council approval of the salary grade
change is required before a Reailocation Certification can be sent througti the required
Human Resources process.
If you have any questions or need assistance in this matter, please ca11 me at 266-6520.
