Re: Ordinance No. 23 -10 —Additional Information Requested by Council
Summary
During the first reading of Ordinance No. 23 -10 (Amendments to Compensation Plan) regarding the
reclassification of three positions and the subsequent reassignment of pay grades, Council requested the
following additional information:
■ a comparison of each affected incumbent's current salary and location in his/her current
pay range and his/her projected new salary and location in the new pay range; and
information comparing the operational cost of Community Relations and Events
Administration before (2009) and after (2010) the organizational restructuring.
Position Reclassifications /Pay Grade Reassignments
In response to Council's request for additional information related to the three position reclassifications
and pay grade reassignments, staff has prepared the following table showing the requested comparison of
each incumbent's current salary and location in the current range together with each incumbent's
projected new salary and location in the new pay range.
It is important to reiterate that, as discussed in staff s June 10, 2010 memo accompanying Ordinance 23-
10, these reclassifications will result in an overall net reduction in personnel costs of approximately
$31,000. This $31,000 reduction in personnel costs includes the anticipated salary adjustments for the
employees assuming more significant roles in the organization, with higher levels of responsibility,
complexity, and accountability. The proposed amendments to the Compensation Plan do not result in any
changes to the number of full -time staff positions. The amendments will result in the elimination of the
part-time permanent position (Membership Coordinator) in Recreation Services.

During the discussion at the first reading of Ordinance No. 23 -10, staff responded to a question fi•om
Council regarding the proposed pay grade of 3.3 for the Events Manager classification. Staff briefly
explained that given the Career Band Description for the Operations Band (attached to Ordinance No. 23-
10) relative to this classification's nature, scope, complexity, and level of responsibility /accountability,
the appropriate pay grade would be 3.3. In reference to that discussion, staff would like to provide a more
detailed explanation of its analysis, which may be helpful to Council in understanding the level at which
staff is recommending the Events Manager classification be slotted.
The process for evaluating this position's placement, as well as the two in Recreation, in the classification
and compensation structure involved an initial analysis conducted by HR Director Harding in conjunction
with Deputy City Manager Epperson. Mr. Harding's and Mr. Epperson's recommendation was then
reviewed by the senior management group (Deputy City Managers) who concurred with the
recommendation. Council will recall that the Career Band structure is the keystone of our Classification
system and is used in all instances that involve the slotting of job classifications due to the creation of
new positions or the reclassification of existing positions within the classification structure. (Attached for
Council's reference is a copy of the Career Band Descriptions that accompanied Ordinance No. 23 -10,
with particular focus drawn to the Operation Band (Band 3).
It is important to remember that the definition for each respective Career Band description serves as the
anchor for judging the relative size and strength of the role and its impact on the success of the
organization. Roles judged to fit substantially within the description are slotted at level 3.2; roles judged
to be larger, stronger, with greater impact on the success of the organization are slotted at the 3.1 level;
Ord. 23 -10 — Memo re. Additional Information
June 25, 2010
Page 3 of 3
and roles judged to be smaller, less complex, with less impact on the success of the organization are
slotted at the 3.3 level.
Three particular distinguishing characteristics in the Operations Band (Band 3) description that staff
believe are important in reaching its decision on the placement of the Events Manager, are the following:
serving as head of an important function focusing on translating strategic and tactical plans to operational
plans for his /her specific function; reporting directly to a member of the City Manager's executive team
(Deputy City Managers); and leading a function that provides important City services, including the
direct management of human and capital resources. In contrast, classifications placed in Implementation
Band (Band 4) are core professionals (non - managerial) and are often individual contributors with a solid
foundation in a specific function or discipline, as was the case when the position in question was
previously classified as an Events Administrator at level 4.2.
Budget Information - Community Relations and Events Administration
The following information addresses Council's request regarding the operational cost of Community
Relations and Events Administration. The legislation amending the City's organizational structure,
Ordinance No. 63 -09, was passed by Council on November 16, 2009 and the 2010 Operating Budget was
prepared based on the new structure, including the adjusted salary for the proposed Events Manager
position.
As reflected in the attached 2009 and 2010 Operating Budget pages, the total amount budgeted for
Community Relations in 2010 reflects a decrease of $39,945 compared to the amount budgeted in 2009.
The 2010 Events Administration budget reflects a decrease of $258,827 compared to the amount
budgeted in 2009. The total 2010 Operating Budget for the two (2) work units has a combined budget
decrease of $298,772 as compared to the 2009 Operating Budget.
An additional question was raised with regard to the recently engaged outside professional services in
Community Relations. To provide context to the cost information that follows, additional background
information is necessary. Authorized within the 2009 Operating Budget was a position entitled Public
Affairs Officer, which later became vacant in August 2009. This position subsequently remained unfilled
for the remainder of 2009 and was eliminated and replaced with a Public Informiation Officer position in
the 2010 Operating Budget; however, this position was not funded. In addition to the unfunded Public
Information Officer position, an employee in one of the two funded and staffed Public Information
Officer positions qualified for short -term disability and has been on disability leave since late -March
2010. Consequently, an administrative decision was made to utilize outside professional services to off-
set the current staffing shortage.
The use of the outside professional services also provides an opportunity to evaluate contracting for
specific communication needs versus utilizing City employees. The type of services being provided by
the three outside professional service providers involve professional written communication, media
relations, marketing, social media policy development, and web test editing. The total monthly
professional service fees for the three professional service providers amount to $5,000 per month, which
covers a combined total of 75 hours of services per month. The total amount paid through June 15, 2010
for services rendered equals $9,564.50.
Recommendation
Staff recommends adoption of Ordinance No. 23 -10 at the second reading/public hearing on July 1, 2010.

Re: Ordinance No. 23 -10 -Amending the Compensation Plan
Summary
As Council will recall, in late 2009 the City Manager recommended an organizational restructuring,
which was subsequently approved by Council. During the discussion surrounding this restructuring,
Council was advised that there may be some transition issues that would require further study by staff,
and that staff would report back to Council mid -year regarding the proposed resolution of such issues or
the need for additional resources. One of these transition issues involved identifying any gaps in the
organization resulting from this restructuring, where the reassignment of existing staff or the hiring of
additional staff may be necessary. Human Resources has conducted an analysis of these organizational
gaps and has recommended that these gaps be addressed by the reclassification of certain positions and
the reassignment of personnel.
In addition, in early 2010 staff strengthened its commitment on an organization -wide basis to
conducting such in -depth workforce /talent analyses for position vacancies (funded positions) occurring
during the course of the year to determine whether the critical work could be redistributed elsewhere in
our existing workforce where additional capacity may exist. (Council may recall that during the first
quarter 2010 financial update presentation in April, Deputy City Manager /Finance Director Grigsby
made reference to these kinds of workforce analyses in the context of pending position vacancies.)
Conducting such a workforce and talent analysis, especially in the context of recent position vacancies
and the current economic conditions, is a sound management practice. This enables management to take
a fresh look at the nature of the work relative to the talent already in our workforce and reassign that
talent accordingly. Several position vacancies have indeed occurred in the first half of 2010, which have
resulted in opportunities for management within the affected operating units to re- examine the structure
and nature of the work and determine whether the existing talent within the organization could absorb
the critical functions. HR has assisted departmental directors in conducting such workforce /talent
analyses, which has resulted in the recommendation to reclassify certain positions and reassign
personnel.
After careful consideration of the recommendations from Human Resources in both of the above
scenarios, senior management concurs with such recommendations. These recommendations result
I — These are positions fully funded by the 2010 Operating Budget and Annual Appropriations, not to be confused with
the position vacancies identified in the Budget as "unfunded."
Memo re. Ordinance 23 -10 - Amending the Compensation Plan
June 10, 2010

in the need to reassign certain classifications to different pay grades in the City salary range structure in
Section 2, paragraph A of the Compensation Plan. Attached, therefore, for your consideration is
Ordinance No. 23 -10 amending Section 2, paragraph A of the Compensation Plan to reassign such
positions to the appropriate pay range in the City salary range structure.' Also attached for your
reference is a redlined version of Section 2.A of the Compensation Plan showing the proposed
amendments, in addition to the current Salary Range Structure as adopted in Section 23 of the
Compensation Plan.
A brief summary of the amendments referenced in Sections 1 and 2 of the attached legislation is
provided as follows.
Section 1 . This amendment relates to a job reclassification and proposed pay grade reassignment within
Events Administration.
• Events Manager — The organizational restructuring approved in late 2009, in part, included the
separation of the Community Relations /Communications function and the Special Events
function from one combined operating unit into two separate operating units. This restructuring
resulted in a leadership /management gap within the new Events Administration unit.
Consequently, Deputy City Manager Epperson and HR Director Harding conducted an analysis
of the work structure, nature of work, and talent within the new Events Administration unit to
determine how the leadership /management gap should be addressed. This workforce /talent
analysis included an in -depth examination of the job classification titles and duties of the
positions comprising this operating unit. The outcome of this analysis has resulted in the need to
reclassify one of the existing "Events Administrator' positions to "Events Manager' to assume
the leadership role in that unit. Since this reclassification results in a larger role in the
organization, with an elevated level of responsibility, complexity, and accountability, it requires
a commensurate reassignment in pay grade from pay grade 4.2 ($52,600 - $77,100) to pay grade
3.3 (S 69,500 - $101,900) in the City salary range structure. (Attached for your reference is the
Events Manager Classification Description.)
Section 2 . These amendments relate to job reclassifications and proposed pay grade reassignments in
Recreation Services.
• Parks & Recreation Operations Supervisor — As the result of a recent vacancy within the Parks
& Recreation Facility Reservations Supervisor position and, under the advice and direction of
Deputy City Manager Epperson and HR Director Harding, Matt Earman, Director of Recreation
Services, conducted a workforce and talent analysis of his operations unit to determine whether
the work of that unit could be restructured to enhance the unit's overall effectiveness, yet reduce
personnel costs. As a result of his analysis, Mr. Earman recommended the restructuring of the
unit's work, which includes the consolidation of certain functions and operations, the
realignment of certain roles, and the reclassification of the existing "Parks & Recreation
Reservations Coordinator' position to "Parks & Recreation Operations Supervisor," thereby
eliminating the need to re -fill the position vacancy. This restructuring of the work, consolidation
of functions, and position reclassification achieves alignment of all facility scheduling, rental,
2 - Section 33.27 of the Dublin Codified Ordinances requires the Compensation Plan to be adopted by Council in
the form of an ordinance. Section 33.28 further establishes that the Compensation Plan may be amended on the
recommendation of the City Manager from time to time as circumstances require, either by the adjustment of
pay ranges or by the reassignment ofjob classifications to different pay ranges.
Memo re. Ordinance 23 -10 - Amending the Compensation Plan

and manager on duty functions and personnel under the supervision of a single operations
supervisor responsible for managing all day to day logistical activities, plus reduces personnel
costs by approximately $9,000. (Under the current structure, the facility planning, scheduling,
rental, and manager on duty functions, operations, and personnel are assigned to different
sections of the unit and report to different supervisors.) Since this reclassification results in a
larger role within the organization, with a higher level of responsibility, complexity, and
accountability, it requires a commensurate reassignment in pay grade from pay grade 5.3
($35,000 — $51,300) to pay grade 5.1 ($42,200 - $61,900) in the City salary range structure.
(Attached is the Parks & Recreation Operations Supervisor classification description.)
Parks & Recreation Facility Coordinator - As part of the workforce /talent analysis conducted by
Mr. Earman regarding the restructuring of work in the operations unit and the subsequent
consolidation of functions and realignment of roles, Mr. Earman has recommended the
reclassification and change in status of the Part-Time Permanent "Membership Coordinator'
position to Full -Time Permanent "Parks & Recreation Facility Coordinator." This modified role
would now be responsible for coordinating the consolidated functions involving the DCRC
Manager on Duty shifts, membership sales processing, refund processing, transaction balancing,
and inquiries related to facility reservations, under the direction of the Parks & Recreation
Operations Supervisor referenced above. This restructuring of work and consolidation of roles
would result in the net reduction of one Part-Time Permanent position and reduction in
personnel costs of approximately $34,000 annually. Since this reclassification results in a larger
role within the organization, with an elevated level of responsibility, complexity, and
accountability, it requires a commensurate reassignment in pay grade from pay grade 5.3
($35,000 - S51,300) to pay grade 5.2 ($38,000 - $55,800) in the City salary range structure.
Attached is the Parks & Recreation Facility Coordinator classification description.
