Title
Reclassification of GRUCom Director to Director of Sales and New Services (B)
Change the GRUCom Director's job title and job description to better reflect changes to the job responsibilities.
Explanation
In continuing efforts to improve internal efficiencies and customer service delivery, some reporting changes involving GRUCom took place about a year ago. A number of staff in the operational area of GRUCom was transferred to the Information Technology (IT) Department. The GRUCom Director retained the "business" and "sales" aspects of GRUCom which includes the supervision of four employees - one manager and three professionals. In turn, seven employees in News Services and Gas Marketing and Sales were moved to the supervision of the GRUCom Director to better coordinate sales opportunities. These employees previously reported to the Marketing Director. Because of the changes in the GRUCom Director's supervisory responsibility, this position is recommended to be reclassified and the title and job description changed to Director of Sales and New Services. The primary focus of this new position will be to develop and implement strategic sales initiatives to acquire new customers and retain existing customers; monitor the financial and business plans for GRUCom and Gas; and plan, direct, coordinate and administer sales and business activities in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
Fiscal Note
This is a title change only and has no fiscal impact.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve reclassifying the GRUCom Director (Pay Grade M-12) to Director of Sales and New Services (Pay Grade M-12) and adding this job title to the Occupational Index.
