DATE: October 15, 2014 Consent Calendar
SUBJECT: 2014-2015 ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION PLAN
AMENDMENT1
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Department of Human Resources
SUMMARY
An amendment to the current fiscal year Allocated and Compensation Plan adds an
Assistant City Manager-Engineer (ACM-E) position to the allocated plan. Primarily, the
new position will oversee and coordinate a wide range of Measure J capital
improvement projects currently underway and forthcoming over the next several years.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt Resolution No. _ "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 1
TO THE ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND COMPENSATION PLAN FOR FISCAL
YEAR 2014-2015, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION 23559."
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate this
action.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
With the advent of Measure J in 2011, approximately 75 new capital improvement
projects totaling over $35 million have been completed and/or are in various stages of
implementation. In future years, Measure J revenues will present continued project
opportunities to implement. These of course, are in addition to the regular capital
improvements which occur annually throughout the City, from state/federal street
programs, the Airport, Waste Water Treatment Plant, other City facilities, etc.
Historically, the City organization plan included two Assistant City Manager positions,
particularly in the areas of transportation/energy (Streets, Parks, Airport, Co-gen, etc.)
and development. However, during the recession — as those positions became
vacant — the incumbents were not replaced as a cost savings measure for the General
Fund. Z.M

2014-2015 Allocated Position Plan
At this time, however, the City is at a critical juncture with regard to gaining ground
toward a range of new capital projects which benefit the entire community. Measure J
funds have provided the monetary resources to allow these projects to become a reality,
however, building organizational capacity making sure they are timely implemented and
completed is paramount. The proposed ACM-E position will be uniquely qualified for this
task — with an engineering background requirement, and broad supervisory authority, a
focused coordination and collaboration among departments, consultants and
contractors will be possible.
As our current Measure J Special Projects Coordinator will be retiring in an April
timeframe, the new ACM-E position will ensure an appropriate transition takes place in
a timely and effective fashion.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This will be a General Fund position at a salary classification range EX3/87 ($156,600-
$210,120) plus benefits estimated at approximately 37%. Conversely, a savings of
approximately $100,000 (Measure J Funds) will accrue with the retirement of the current
Special Projects Coordinator position.
