BACKGROUND
Within the last several months, the City has undergone significant organizational change. During
such time, efforts have been made to identify and begin implementing City Council goals and
priorities, and further engage community members with City goals and workplans. As part of
these efforts, the City Manager's Office and key management team members have been
examining ways to shift the overall organizational structure to better deploy staff talents and
strengths and provide enhanced service to the community, and to ensure organizational
sustainability through addressing vacancy succession, retention of key staff, right -sizing span of
control and workload for key management positions, and creating succession resilience through
establishing additional staff advancement opportunities.
In August 2018, pursuant to the MOUS between the City and the Petaluma Professional and Mid -
Management Association (PPMMA), and with the support of the other City bargaining units, the
City retained Ralph Andersen and Associates to conduct a comprehensive classification and
compensation study of its miscellaneous, full-time classifications, including certain public safety
positions. The classification review involves the following:
• A systematic description, in the classification specifications, of the kinds of work being
performed by employees and the levels of responsibility and difficulty of that work.
• Development of a classification structure that reflects the City's overall classification
strategy.
• Drafting of new class specifications as appropriate.
• Allocation of each position to the appropriate class based on the duties and
responsibilities assigned at the time the position was studied.
• A review process to permit each department to review the draft classification
recommendations.
• Development of a classification plan that accurately describes positions, aligned with
organizational needs, and assists with developing recruitment and career development
strategies.
• Review of and recommendations for salaries of studied classifications to ensure salaries
are internally sound.
The classification portion of the process will be completed first and is currently underway. The
compensation portion of the project will be undertaken when the class specifications are
complete and will require several months to fully complete.
DISCUSSION
While the classification and compensation study has been proceeding, as part of the
organizational enhancement efforts identified above, the City Manager's Office and management
team members have identified structural changes that need to be implemented prior to the
completion of the classification and compensation study to maintain continuity and effectiveness
of operations in response to current and planned staff departures. the proposed classification
specification changes recommended for City Council approval with this action would address
2
these address immediate organizational and operational needs, implement the City's recently
adopted goals and objectives, and assist the City in establishing much needed succession -
resiliency planning for organizational sustainability.
In preparation for the proposed action, a complete review of the affected classification
specifications was completed based on the City's existing salary structure and maintaining
internal parity and alignment. The proposed class specs are based on that review. The results of
the review and the proposed changes contained herein align with the duties and responsibilities
of the existing workloads and City needs. Also, the proposed changes have been discussed with
Ralph Anderson and Associates who indicate that they do not conflict with their preliminary
classification findings.
The proposed changes to the City's Classification and Compensation Plan are pursuant to the
City Manager's authority and responsibilities as the City's Personnel Officer in accordance with
Petaluma Municipal Code 3.04.020, which authorizes the City Manager in paragraph (D) to:
"prepare or cause to be prepared a position classification plan, including class
specifications and revisions of the plan;"
and which authorizes the City Manager in paragraph (E) to:
"prepare or cause to be prepared a plan of compensation and revisions thereof,
covering all classifications in the competitive service."
The proposed changes to the classification and compensation plan that are recommended at this
time due to immediate organizational needs are as follows:
Economic Development Specialist - FT
Due to workload and organizational needs, the full-time Economic Development Specialist
classification includes the responsibility for performing a variety of para -professional level economic
development duties including representing the City with developers, business, and community
leaders; recruiting new business and advising businesses seeking expansions; identifying sources of
grant funding; and preparing a variety of analyses and reports. This classification is similar in concept
to the Limited -Term Transit Marketing Coordinator, a professional job classification that coordinates
and promotes the City's transit program. It is recommended that a full-time Economic Development
Specialist classification be created with a salary level that is equal to the Limited Term Transit
Marketing Coordinator, a salary range with a top step of $6,068 per month.
Director of Economic Development and Open Government.
The Director of Economic Development and Open Government position is a new director level
classification. This role will oversee technology operations and infrastructure, data and information,
service design, community engagement, and economic development activities, functions, programs,
and projects. While this may appear to be an unusual combination of services, the economic
development and comununity engagement responsibilities share a similar nexus and are common
areas of expertise under economic development. The inclusion of the information technology
function provides a more streamlined organizational solution, recognizing that an Information
3
Technology Manager bears the technical responsibility of day-to-day management. Based on
existing structure and further analysis of current salary relationships, it is recommended that the title
of Director of Economic Development and Open Government be adopted with a salary placement
equal to the Director of Human Resources at a salary range top step of $13,530 per month.
Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation
Under the re -organization efforts currently proposed, the City's parks and recreation divisions will
report to the City Manager's Office. In order to recognize this shift in role and responsibility, the
creation of a Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation is proposed. While this classification will be
further studied as part of the Citywide classification analysis, the current proposal recognizes the
role of the Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation while allowing further organizational changes
to be considered. This change involves upgrading a Recreation Supervisor position to the Deputy
Director of Parks and Recreation, with a change in reporting relationship to a higher-level manager
within the City Manager's Office. Based on analysis of the job classification and the
organizational shift, it is recommended that the salary range for the class of Deputy Director of
Parks and Recreation be set 15% above the Parks and Facilities Manager with a top step salary of
$11,360. This salary placement provides a sufficient differential over the Parks & Facilities
Manager, a potential subordinate to the proposed Deputy Director of Parks and Recreation.
Deputy Director of Operations and Deputy Director of Environmental Sei vices,
A proposed organizational shift within the Public Works Department will upgrade two management
job classifications to Deputy Director level classifications. The current department classification
structure has a Director, an Assistant Director, and Manager levels with some managers reporting to
the Assistant Director and some reporting to the Director. While the overall organizational structure
is still being developed, the changes currently proposed establish an appropriate salary placement for
the Deputy Director levels as follows:
A Deputy Director of Operations classification with a salary range that is 5% above the current
Operations Manager classification, a top step salary of $11,657 per month.
A Deputy Director of Environmental Services classification with a salary range that is 5%
above the current Environmental Services Manager classification, a top step salary of $12,158
per month.
Assistant Public Works & Utilities Director
Along with the proposed two new Deputy Director positions, an adjustment to the salary range of
Assistant Public Works & Utilities Director by 5% are recommended to preserve the existing salary
buffer to the Deputy Director levels. This would result in a salary top step of $12,824.
The salary levels for these positions will be further evaluated later in the classification and
compensation study. The recommended salary levels provide a conservative placement within the
City's existing structure.
Senior Management Analvst
The City's salary schedule includes a Senior. Management Analyst classification. The classification
has not been utilized, allocated, or updated within the City's compensation plan. The classification is
4
a common one and is used for positions that perform advanced level professional duties in support of
City programs, budgets, and projects with a high level of independence. The senior level classification
is comparable to other senior level professional positions.
Recognizing that the City has other "analyst" positions as well as other senior professional
classifications, it is recommended that the salary level for this class be placed at a level that allows
for consistency in class titles and levels among similar type of jobs. Since the Citywide classification
study may create or alter some related class levels, it is recommended that the salary for this class be
aligned with an existing City job classification with the ability to review the salary further when more
detailed salary and benefit data is collected later this year. It is recommended that the salary range for
Sen,ior Management Analyst be set the same as Senior Planner, a salary range with a top step of
$8,526.
Assistant Citv Manager
The City plans to initiate recruitment efforts for an Assistant City Manager replacement in order to
fill an upcoming vacancy due to the current Assistant City Manager's planned retirement in August,
2019, In order to meet current needs of the organization and attract qualified candidates a salary
range approximately 11.5% above the current range is recommended, with a top salary range of
$15,667. The proposed salary preserves an adequate buffer below the City Manager position.
The Assistant City Manager position is currently assigned to Unit 8, which is comprised of
unrepresented positions consisting of Department Heads and Assistant City Attorneys. The
economic Development/Redevelopment Manager is currently represented by the Petaluma
Professional & Mid -Managers Association ("PPMMA"), Unit 9. However, the proposed Director
of Economic Development and Open Government position would be assigned to Unit 8, All other
positions addressed in this proposed action are represented by PPMMA.
In accordance with Section 5, Management Rights, of the MOU between PPMMA Unit 9 and the
City,
It is the right of the City to make decisions of a managerial or administrative
character including: decisions on the type, extent, and standards of services
performed; decisions on the methods, means, and personnel by which the City
operations and services are to be conducted; and those necessary to exercise
control over the City government operations in the most efficient and economical
manner practicable and in the best interests of the City residents. All managerial
functions and rights which the City has not expressly modified or restricted by
specific provision of this MOU shall remain with the City.
The proposed Classification and Compensation changes are consistent with the management rights
reserved by the City in accordance with Section 5 of the Unit 9 MOU. Nonetheless, under the
Meyers Milias Brown Act, Government Code Section 3500 and following, which governs
employer/employee relations of local government agencies in California, impacts from exercise of
management prerogatives such as creation of new positions as is currently proposed may be subject
to bargaining between the City and affected, recognized bargaining units.
Accordingly, City PPMMA representatives have held several meetings and exchanged information
concerning the proposed changes. All of the change proposed with this action have either been
accepted by, or received no objections from, PPMMA representatives.
Additional changes regarding which staff hope to soon recommend for Council action include
position allocations for the Director of Economic Development and Open Government, Deputy
Director of Parks and Recreation, and Deputy Director of Operations. PPMMA representatives
have indicated a belief that allocation of these latter three positions may result in impacts that are
subject to bargaining under the MMBA. Accordingly, discussions between City and PPMMA
representatives are continuing regarding these three positions, and staff is unable to recommend
allocation of these positions at this time.
PUBLIC OUTREACH
There was no specific public outreach performed in relation to this item aside from the normal
meeting agenda process. As indicated above, the City and PPMMA representatives have
discussed the proposed actions both in meetings and through email correspondence.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The financial impacts of the proposed changes have been incorporated into the Fiscal Year 19-20
budget. Depending on the determined pay step for each position, the proposed changes will range
between approximately $115,881 to $136,909, with an impact ranging from $86,995 - $101,884
allocated to the General Fund and between $28,885 - $35,026 to Non -General Funds.
