Description APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the job description and salary range for the
Recreation Facilities Manager position.
DISCUSSION
As a part of the 2017 budget, funding was included to reclassify the Operations Coordinator position to
Recreation Facilities Manager. Staff is not requesting a new person or position but rather a
reclassification of an existing position with a new title and job description. The draft job description is
attached. This recommendation was discussed with and approved by the prior City Administrator
during last year’s budget cycle, and the current City Administrator agrees with the recommendation as
well. The impact on the 2017 budget would be $5,739 in salary costs which is already included in this
year’s budget.
In 2008, budget cuts caused the City to eliminate the position of Community Center Manager and the
employee in that role was laid off. In an effort to minimize costs in the department, the duties of the
Community Center Manager were split up between the Parks and Recreation Director and Operations
Coordinator. This distribution of duties is no longer sustainable and was budgeted for a change in
2017. As you are likely aware, over the past several years several new duties, responsibilities, facilities,
staff, programs, and focus areas were added to the position of Operations Coordinator. Jon Balvance
was hired in November of 2013 and has done an excellent job for the City of Rosemount. Mr.
Balvance’s background and experience have helped him excel in his position. The City relies heavily on
him in a managerial role and he has taken on more responsibilities.
In the past, the City has utilized the services of Ann Antonsen of Springsted Incorporated to evaluate
new and updated job descriptions to assign comparable worth points and associated pay to the
positions. In addition, she assists us with our Pay Equity Compliance Review that is submitted to the
state every 3 years. Ms. Antonsen has reviewed job descriptions including the existing Operations
Coordinator position, the proposed Recreation Facilities Manager position and considered the changes
in duties to the position as it’s evolved over the years. She has recommended that the new position be
assigned 412 job points based on the nature and scope of the position, other position responsibilities
within the City, and pay equity data. Based on this data, staff is proposing the position be compensated
at the 2017 range of $70,928 - $88,753 annually (exempt). For reference, this classification and
subsequent range is comparable to the position that was eliminated in 2008.
SUMMARY
Staff is recommending the City Council approve the job description and salary range for the Recreation
Facilities Manager effective June 1, 2017.
