TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Robert 0. Malm, Interim City Manager
SUBJECT: Human Resources Department Reorganization
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to present information to
the Mayor and Members of the City Council to consider position
changes in the Human Resources Department.
BACKGROUND
With the anticipated retirement of the Deputy Human Resources
Director and the transfer of Olga DeLeon to the Manager' s
eft. Office, re-organization of the- Human Resources Department was
included as an important 1997 responsibility for the depart-
ment.
Following a number of discussions and a review of the depart-
ment' s operations with the former City Manager and the Interim
City Manager, the department was requested to investigate
possible alternatives to filling the Deputy Director' s posi-
tion. It was decided the Human Resource function could be
best served by eliminating the Deputy's position and replacing
it with two other positions--a Personnel Technician and a
Human Resource Generalist I (HRGI ) . With the Personnel
Technician (Clerk Typist) position requiring an annual salary
of $23,000, the remaining $36,326 is sufficient to recruit a
qualified individual for the outlined duties of the second
position (HRGI) .
With this in mind, a review of positions within the department
were made and responsibilities realigned. Under the proposed
reorganization, the Personnel Technician will perform recep-
tionist, fair housing in-take, and general clerical duties .
The new position of Human Resource Generalist I (filling
Walter Blalark's slot) will be responsible for fair hous-
ing/EEO, training, employee orientation, special summer
recruitment, participation in union negotiations and serving
as liaison to the Human Relations Commission.

will now be responsible for Contract Administration/Employee
Relations, some negotiation work, safety and health compliance
and programming, ADA, Uniform Personnel recruitment, and will
serve as the liaison to the Fire and Police Commission. The
HRGII position will be at the same salary level as Ms. Bell 's
current position.

that will be affected.

$5,700 to the City, primarily from insurance costs of the
additional employee. The Human Resources Department budget
will be less, given the previous transfer of the City Hall
Receptionist position.
LEGAL IMPACT

• ALTERNATIVES
The City Council could approve the proposed changes or leave
the two positions unfilled.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the necessary
changes to the pay plan to implement the proposed reorganiza-
tion of the Human Resources Department.
