ATTACHMENTS: Draft CD Technician Job Description APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the job description and salary range for the
Community Development Technician position effective October 18, 2022
BACKGROUND
Staff is requesting the creation of a Community Development Technician position. Last month, the
Community Development Office Specialist resigned. Staff has reevaluated the needs of the
organization and the department and have determined the duties that are most needed in our current
operations. We are proposing that the current “Community Development Office Specialist” position
be restructured and replaced with a new position called “Community Development Technician”. The
2022 budget can accommodate the suggested changes and the proposed job description for this new
position is attached.
The City continues to experience significant growth and the Community Development Department
(Planning, Economic Development, Building Inspections, and Permitting) is busier than ever. This
restructured position will assist in these key areas and help address the complex needs of the
department.
In reviewing the CD Technician position, staff worked with Baker Tilly to conduct a position analysis
to determine pointing, compensation, and grade placement using the new SAFE Evaluation System. It
is recommended that the Community Development Technician position be placed at Grade 11 and
assigned 230 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
2022 range of $29.38 – 36.77 per hour.
In addition to City Council approval, the City must confer further with AFSCME Local 3857 because
the position is currently not stipulated in the contract. Once this is complete, staff intends on moving
forward with recruiting and filling this position as soon as possible.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the job description and salary range for the Community
Development Technician effective October 18, 2022.
