DATE: MARCH 22, 2006 CONSENT AGENDA
SUBJECT: AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO THE ALLOCATION POSITIONS AND
COMPENSATION PLAN 2005 - 2006
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
BY: Aviation Department
SUMMARY
This requested action would be the 6th Amendment to the Allocation Positions and
Compensation Plan for 2005 — 2006, resulting in the following Department of Aviation
organizational personnel changes: elimination of one (1) Assistant Director of Aviation
position, reclassifying the one (1) remaining Assistant Director of Aviation to increase
that position's responsibilities; reclassifying the Contracts & Leases Manager to Asset
Manager to better reflect that position's duties; create one (1) additional Airport
Operations Specialist position for 24/7 coverage for increased security and oversight of
that function. These actions will not increase the current authorized staffing level at the
Airport, but will result in a budget savings of salary and benefits of approximately
$44,611 annually.
RECOMMENDATION:
1 , Approve Resolution No. , A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY
COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS APPROVING
AMENDMENT #6 TO THE ALLOCATED POSITIONS AND
COMPENSATION PLAN, ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION 21284.
Z. Authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary documentation.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
Prior to September 2005, there were two Assistant Directors of Aviation, one primarily
responsible for administration functions and one for operations and planning functions.
The Assistant Director of Aviation —Administration, became vacant in September 2005.
In accordance with the City Manager's policy to review all personnel attrition, the

Amendment to Allocation Positions Plan
Director of Aviation incorporated several of these duties into his responsibilities and that
of the remaining Assistant Director of Aviation. Elimination of the one Assistant
Director's position will save approximately $145,170 (salary and benefits) annually and
reclassifying the remaining Assistant Director's position to increase his job duties will
cost approximately $6,575 (salary and benefits) annually. This reclassification will be
retroactive to October 2005.
Additionally, the position of Manager, Contracts & Leases has recently become vacant
through retirement. This particular job description has been expanded to require a
greater knowledge of business and finance issues as they relate to managing the
Airport's assets, developing Airport property and securing additional streams of revenue
such as FAA grants and new entrepreneurial opportunities. This reclassification will add
approximately $4,931 (salary and benefits) to the airport budget
Finally, to achieve better 24 hour operational shift coverage, a third Airport Operations
Specialist position will be added to cover all three shifts at the Airport, versus the current
two shifts. This allocation brings greater personnel experience during the midnight
hours at the Airport and will strengthen our security and oversight capacity. This
position will cost approximately $89,053 (salary and benefits) and is funded through the
partial savings from the elimination of the Assistant Director of Aviation.
FISCAL IMPACT: IFinance Director
The changes requested in this amendment to the Allocation Positions and
Compensation Plan for 2005 — 2006 will result in approximately $44,611 in annual
salary and benefit savings to the Airport budget beginning FY 2006-2007.
