MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of Dublin City Council
CITY OF DlBLIN Timothy C. Hansley, City Manager
FROM:
1* SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 88-92
DATE: June 11, 1992
~ Director of Personnel & Purchasing ~
INITIATED BY: David L. Harding,
Attached for consideration, please find Ordinance No. 88-92 authorizing certain
items of compensation relative to the appointment of a new City Engineer. As
described in the attached Ordinance, these items include the following:
* $300 per month vehicle allowance;
* $500 per month temporary housing allowance;
* $5,000 relocation expense.
In staff's judgement, the approval of these items is warranted and, therefore,
Staff recommends that Council adopt Ordinance No. 88-92. Since Staff made the
conscious decision to recruit nationwide for the City Engineer position, Staff
recognized that a relocation allowance and temporary housing allowance would
probably become issues when negotiating with the preferred candidate regarding
compensation. Staff also recognized that when recruiting candidates at the
Department/Division Head level, issues regarding the provision of a City vehicle
or a vehicle allowance could conceivably arise as well. Since Staff consciously
conducted a nation-wide recruitment campaign for this position, and since
candidates employed at similar levels within other public organizations sometimes
receive a vehicle or vehicle allowance, the provision of the above mentioned
items seems fair and reasonable. It should be emphasized that similar items in
similar amounts have been authorized for new Department/Division Heads in the
past; therefore, the provision of such items in this instance is consistent with
the past practice.
f'" In addition, please note that Ordinance No. 88-92 contains emergency language.
In the interest of preserving the public safety and welfare, Staff believes there
~ is an urgent need to make an immediate appointment to this position, and Staff's
ability to do so is based upon the approval of the above mentioned items.
Therefore, Staff respectfully requests that this Ordinance be adopted as
emergency legislation.
