Re: PROPOSED PROMOTION OF MICHELLE EICHHORN TO CDBG PROGRAM
ADMINSTRATOR AT BAND 11, RATE 4
BACKGROUND
This position will become vacant with the imminent retirement of CDBG Program
Administrator Marylyn Waibel on February 27, 2004. Michelle Eichhom is the City's current
CDBG Program Coordinator, a position subordinate to the Administrator. Michelle was hired
last April at Rate 4, Band 10.
SALARY STEP JUSTIFICATION
Michelle has performed her duties as Program Coordinator admirably. She is very
conscientious and has an excellent grasp on the full range of CDBG and HOME program
activities. She is fully capable of performing the role of Program Administrator with a level of
execution that warrants compensation at Rate 4. The salary range of the Administrator
counterpart at Kitsap County CDBG is equivalent to Band 12, and the range of the next
subordinate position is equivalent to Band 11.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Band 11, Rate 4, be approved for Michelle Eichhorn's salary as CDBG
Program Administrator, effective March 1,2004.

MEMORANDUM

From-' Chris Hugo, Direct~
Date: February 10, 2004
Re: PROPOSED HIRE OF SHIRLEY AIRD AS CDBG PROG COORDINATOR
The Administration proposes to hire Shidey Aird to fill the pending vacant CDBG Program
Coordinator position at higher than entry pay rate and asks the Council's approval. We feel
fortunate that Shirley made application for this position as she is a past City employee and
now seeks to return to us with a new level and range of professional experience including
CDBG program administration.
POSITION BACKGROUND
This position will become vacant with the imminent retirement of CDBG Program
Administrator Marylyn Waibel on February 27, 2004. In a concurrent request to Council, I
propose to promote Michelle Eichhorn, current Program Coordinator, to the Administrator
position. That will create the vacancy in the Program Coordinator position.
SELECTION
The DCD staff considered a range of personnel options as we anticipated Marylyn Waibers
retirement. We considered current DCD staff as well as individuals interviewed last year
when Michelle was selected. Shidey Aird came to our attention of her own initiative. She is
the current CDBG program administrator for the City of Auburn, but commute and lifestyle
preferences have attracted her to Bremerton. She has been following the City's revitalization
activities closely on the web page and desires to join the Bremerton team and make her own
oontdbutions to the community.
Shirley worked for Planning Manager Paul Rogerson in Shelton for several years, and she
comes highly recommended. She has a Master of Planning degree and nine years of
experience in community development. In her current duties, Shirley manages a similar
program budget and projects.
SALARY STEP JUSTIFICATION
As recorded on her application, Mrs. Aird currently makes significantly more in her Auburn
position than the starting Rate for the Program Coordinator in Band 10. Last year, Michelle
Eichhorn was hired at Rate 4 with a similar level of experience.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on her education, experience and anticipated value to the city in this position and as a
personable and skilled public servant, I recommend that Shirley Aird be hired at Rate 4 Band
10, Professional Pay Plan.

HEARING CONSIDERATIONS
BMC 11.20.120 sets forth issues that the City Council needs to determine at the conclusion o£the
Vacation Hearing. These issues and the staffposition are:
1. Whether the street, alley or portion thereof is no longer required for public use and
vacation of the described portion will better serve the public good.
Staff Position:
This portion of the alley is not required for public use. Residents may exit onto l0th
Street instead of llth Street, which is a residential street having much lower traffic
volumes.
2. Whether the vacation is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
Staff Position:
The proposed vacation does not conflict with the Comprehensive Plan.
3. Whether continued use of the proposed vacation as a public way is not of such
public benefit as to justify the costs of maintenance.
Staff Position:
Vacation of the alley would reduce the City's maintenance in this area.
4. Whether substitution of a new and different thoroughfare would be more useful to
the public.
Staff Position:
No other thoroughfare would improve circulation in this area.
5. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater public use
or need than presently exists.
Staff Position:
No future use of this portion of right of way is anticipated.
6. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private
property abutting the same.
Staft Position:
No objections have been received from any abutting property owners to date.
