IV. BACKGROUND
On December 3, 2019, the City Council adopted the classification of Council Aide, and approved the creation of five part-time positions, with one Council Aide for each of the council members, including the mayor. Later on June 21, 2022, the City Council adopted an amendment to the classification and also established the position of full-time council aide, along with corresponding and updated compensation and benefits for both full-time and part-time Council Aide classifications. This was due to the increased need for Council Aides to provide administrative support to their assigned elected officials during an ever-expanding calendar of events.
On December 13, 2023, the City Council approved a revised compensation range to reflect a 7.5% pay adjustment retroactively effective July 1, 2022, to remain consistent with recent increases to other represented employees.
At this time, job specifications and the salary allocation for the Senior Council Aide position are being presented to outline the qualifications, essential duties and pay scale for the position. This position will provide direct supervision of the Council Aide team. The salary allocation is Range 1001, $6,101 - $7,790.
The amended Council Aide job specification is also being presented to establish that the position reports directly to the Senior Council Aide.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
There is no additional fiscal impact, as the funding for this new classification was approved as part of the City Council approved Fiscal Year 2023-24 annual budget.
