NEW BUSINESS - BUSINESS LICENSE INSPECTOR/~AGE GRADE CHANGE #AB84-350 Mr. Johnson read a reomest from Personnel Director, Dave Hiestand, to approve a wage classification change from WG 8, $8.60 per hour, to YE 12 at $10.70 per hour for the job title Business License Inspector. He gave a short narrative of the revisions to the job occurring as early as 1982. ¥9~ile all of the changes confirmed the need for a salary revision, it was never performed. He gave ccmparisons for like classifications paid in other cities and emphasized the need for Council action. ~r. Hiestand stated the need to fill the second position opening which is in the budget and the two positions should be the same level of responsibility allowing more time out in the field to perform audits. CounciLman Johnson asked why this is not going through Civil Service? Mr. Hiestand stated that it is customary to cc~e before Council for approval for salary adjustment approval before taking the issue to the Civil Service Commission as the Ccn~nission does not have the authority to make salary adjustments without Council approval. ~%r. Johnson further asked how the Business & Occupation revenues ccm~oare with 1984 projections. Mr. Olney stated, "not what we expected". Mr. Olney said some accounts are up with some down but the money is in f]~e budget to make the adjustments. He said Ms. Coberly has rewritten most of the B & O regulations. Councilman Johnson asked what the additional new hire would be doing? He said he wanted both employees out in the field doing audits and more thorough inspections. Councilman Homing noted that since there was a de~ree attached to this classification, was there to be a division head? If so, why not advertise for that position and upgrade the salary at the same time. He felt that maybe the Council would be "jumping ahead" and felt more infomation is needed to determine which way this devision is going. Mr. Hiestand said there are several areas in the wage classification scale that need inmediate' attention and gave the Animal Control division as an example. Mr. Hiestand stated money has been saved in the B&O division by not hiring the second individual. Councilman Homing reinterated his stand that serious consideration should be given to hiring someone at the higher level and wanted to have the Civil Service Co~mission review. He felt the Council would be favoring an incumbent employee. Mr. Hiestand said this wage change was not done with the incumbent in mind. ~ir. Pachek stated the need to have the best employees for the job and probably would support this request, Councilman Anderson agreed with the concerns of Councilman Homing and felt more study should be done and tabled until more information was available. ~0703 · M/S/C/U/(Drouin/Johnson) to table, for one week, the request for Wage Grade change for the position of Business and Occupation Inspector, until the requisites for the two positions are more clearly defined and the division's goals are established.
