DISCUSSION In May, 2013, the City Council of the City of National City unanimously approved the City's fiscal year 2014 operating budget. Said budget included the creation of a new department titled Housing, Grants & Asset Management. Officially formed as of July 1, 2013, the department includes the administration of low incoming housing and grant programs, and the management of the City's real property assets. One of the primary factors driving the need to create a central point for the management of real property assets is the State of California mandated dissolution of Redevelopment. The dissolution legislation as written requires that agencies develop and execute a plan for the disposition of all Redevelopment real estate holdings. This position will oversee that process and will become the central point for the performance of real property management functions for all City holdings and those of other City entities. In reviewing the duties associated with the position assigned to property asset management, it was deteiuuned that there is no existing City of National City classification that performs the proposed range of duties. As such, the intent is to create a new classification: Property Agent. 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 Community Development Specialist II: $4,499 - $5,468, monthly (range 130). If approved, this classification will replace the Housing Department's budgeted Community Development Specialist I (CDS l) position. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the resolution, amending the MEA salary schedule to include Property Agent under salary range 130. FISCAL IMPACT If the Property Agent position is filled, the difference in salary ($5251month) will be covered by salary savings as the budgeted CDS I has been vacant since August 9, 2013.
