Title
Upgrade of Staff Assistant II Position from Part Time to Full Time in the Marketing & Communication Office (NB)
Explanation
In December 2004, two positions, Senior Executive Assistant (FT) and Staff Assistant II (PT .5 FTE) were transferred from the Clerk of the Commission Office to the Marketing and Communications Office. The Staff Assistant II (PT .5 FTE) is currently vacant.
The department has found that 1.5 FTE staff support does not allow for efficient or effective service delivery. Increasing .5 FTE will provide two full time staff to assist in increasing productivity and customer service by:
1) Providing consistent staffing of the City Hall Visitor Reception desk
2) Better utilization of the Senior Administrative Staff within the Marketing and Communications Office
3) Allowing the Interim Department Manager to focus on Marketing and Communications issues rather than doing support work
Fiscal Note
The estimated cost is approximately $12,000, including benefits, and funds are available in the Marketing and Communications budget.
Recommendation
Personnel & Organizational Structure Committee recommend the City Commission approve increasing the .5 FTE Staff Assistant II to 1 FTE Staff Assistant II. pay grade DD (CWA) $23,809.66 - $29,434.69.
