Adoption of an Ordinance Amending Pay Plans “N” and “N-S” in Order to Add Three (3) Classifications and Approval of Various Staffing Authorizations
a. Ordinance No. 3052: An Ordinance of the City of Redmond, Washington, Amending Pay Plans “N” and “N-S” in Order to Add Three Job Classifications to the Non-Represented and Non-Represented Supplemental Pay Plans, Providing for Severability and Establishing an Effective Date
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The purpose of the Staffing Authorization is to recognize the following changes in staffing levels and classifications:
• Eight (8) additional Parks FTEs were authorized to support the implementation of the Parks and Recreation Recovery Plan. The recovery plan lays out a multi-faceted, stepped approach that informs the milestones to be reached before the positions are hired and the criteria that must be met. The Parks Recovery Plan and the request to add the required FTEs were approved by Council on April 6, 2021 during the Regular Business Meeting.
• Two (2) job classifications were added to create a Deputy Department Director classification for the Executive and TIS departments. The classifications were added to create consistency across departments, address span of control issues for Department Directors and to provide a path for succession planning. No additional FTEs were added. The request to create the new classification for the Deputy TIS Director was approved by Council at the April 27, 2021 Finance, Administration and Communications Committee of the Whole meeting. The Deputy Executive Department Director was approved by Council at the May 11, 2021 Planning and Public Works Committee of the Whole meeting.
• One (1) job classification has been added to create a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Program Manager as informed by the budget process. The request to create the new classification was approved by Council at the April 27, 2021 Finance, Administration and Communications Committee of the Whole meeting.
• Four (4) additional Fire Fighter FTEs were authorized to formalize the over-hire practice used to help reduce overtime costs for the department, and the FTEs are to be used for over-hire purposes only. The change was recommended by Council during the May 18, 2021 Regular Business Meeting.
