Human Resources And Information Technology Committee Meeting 07/14/2021 – Will Vote On Pay Changes For Election Workers, Creation Of Deputy Director Position For Health Department

The Human Resources and Information Technology Committee is meeting 07/14/2021 at 6:30PM.

They’ll be voting on the Public Works HVAC position overhire that also came before the Municipal Services Committee.

They’ll be considering and voting on a request to move election worker position to a fix hourly rate. Per the memo, “We are recommending that all election positions in this pay plan move to a fix hourly rate versus a step rate increase based on anniversary. Employees in these positions might work none to several elections during a year, so providing a step increase based on anniversary year does not always make sense. Moving to a fixed rate eases administration and provides a more equitable means to compensate our employees in these positions.” They go on to not that, “Had we made these changes prior to the April 2021 election, the total cost increase for that election would have been $1,276.”

Mayor Woodford is requesting to add a Deputy Director position to the Health Department Table of Organization since its structure does not currently include that. Per the memo, “This change in structure positions the department to have someone serve in the absence of a Health Officer and it supports the City’s succession planning process.” It also “more closely aligns with how other City departments are structured.”

Although the memo mentions an “additional cost” for this change, it does not details how much that additional cost is.

The Human Resources Department is also requesting that the city switch vendors for their workers compensation third party administration.

There are also several information items including changes to several city policies, a Human Resources mid-year budget report, and a recruitment status report.
