COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
MEETING DATE: October 1, 2013
AGENDA ITEM NO.
ITEM TITLE:
The Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City approving an amendment to the salary schedule
for the Municipal Employees Association employee group to include a salary band for the newly created
classification of Academic and Enrichment Programs Coordinator at $4,261 - $5,180, monthly (range 124),
PREPARED BY: Stacey Stevenson
PHONE: 336-4308
EXPLANATION:
DEPARTMENT: H
APPROVED BY:
With the unanimous approval of the Civil Service Commission, the Human Resources Department created a new
classification of Academic and Enrichment Programs Coordinator. While the application was drafted in a manner
that will allow for fairly broad application, the immediate need is in the Library Department's WINGS program.
Said program has historically been led by a Librarian. As discussed with the Civil Service Commission, the job
functions, knowledge, skills and abilities of the position do not properly align with the Librarian classification.
Likewise, the minimum qualifications for employment as a Librarian are not consistent with what is needed for
this position. As a result, the Library Department has experienced recruiting and retention problems. The intent of
the new classification is to attract and retain candidates limn the academic and/or enrichment pool.
The action before the City Council is to establish the compensation for the classification. Based on the scope of
work, consequence of error and span of control, it is recommended that the compensation be set at an amount
equal to Librarian: $4,261 - $5,180, monthly (range 124).
