15. POSITION RECLASSIFICATIONS
City Council Meeting Minutes - October 24, 2023 Page 3 of 10
Mr. Brown said the request would authorize the City Manager to reclassify existing positions
within the organization that had either experienced a change in duties and/or responsibilities
or required a grade adjustment to better align internally and with the external market or both.
There were six departments requesting reclassifications.
Mr. Brown made the following corrections to the spreadsheet entitled "Positions
Recommended for Reclassification":
The second to the last column, with the heading of "Estimated Budgetary Impact for FY
24-25 Vacant Positions (based on the midpoint of the range)" dollar amounts were
inadvertently populated for the filled positions.
There was a request to reclassify position number 95, Assistant Fire Marshall, to Fire
Inspector Sr. The spreadsheet reflected a savings for the position of $58,861.46 for this
FY and an estimated savings of $85,022.11 for FY 2024/2025. The correct dollar
amounts should reflect a savings of $4,367.06 for this FY and an estimated savings of
$6,307.98 for FY 2024/2025.
Mr. Brown said after the corrections, the known budget impact for FY 2023/2024 changed
from $232,319.43 to $286,813.84 and it changed the estimated budget impact for FY
2024/2025 from $839,064.48 to $432,332.61.
Councilmember Tolmachoff said the duties of the Director Of Organizational Performance had
been reassigned and she confirmed that the vacant position would be filled.
Mr. Brown said that was correct. The position was in the process of being filled.
Responsibilities that were more employee -centric, such as the Employee Engagement Survey,
Success Factor Awards, etc., were being moved to the City Manager's Office.

Amendment from POS (Public Open Space) to PC (Planned Commercial) and rezoning from
A-1 (Agricultural) to PAD (Planned Area Development).

use designations and promoted a context -appropriate infill development. The rezoning of the
property to PAD was consistent with the land uses in the general vicinity. The rezoning
proposal allowed for flexibility which supported the purpose of the PAD to provide creative
land uses and effective circulation systems while being compatible with other land uses in the
surrounding area.
