Recommendation

Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution providing for a temporary increase in the salary for the City Clerk.

Background

The Deputy City Clerk has resigned her position effective October 4, 2001. This leaves the only full-time position in the City Clerk’s Office vacant. In addition to the City Clerk and Deputy City Clerk, the office is staffed with a half-time Clerk Typist. Currently the City Clerk salary is set at 50% of the Deputy City Clerk salary or $2,101 per month.

Analysis

With the resignation of the Deputy City Clerk, the City Clerk plans to conduct a complete review of the duties and functions of the City Clerk’s Office. In order to complete this review, the Clerk will temporarily be performing additional duties and performing much of the work done by the former Deputy. Additional work will also be temporarily assigned to the half-time Clerk Typist. This work will allow the Clerk to have a better understanding of the amount and scope of the full range of duties performed by the office and to determine what, if any, changes in job assignments may be in order. This review is essential prior to conducting a recruitment for a new Deputy City Clerk.

This increase is requested for a limited time effective October 16, 2001 through January 31, 2002.

Fiscal Impact

There is no additional fiscal impact to the City as adequate funds are available from salary savings as a result of the vacant Deputy City Clerk position effective October 4, 2001.
