SUBJECT: Creation of Economic Development Coordinator
_~W.~'~
DATE: May 11, 1994
BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing ~
As requested by Council Member King at the May 2, 1994 Council
Meeting, attached please find Ordinance No. 45-94 creating a new
Economic Development Coordinator position within the Department of
Development. Also attached please find a rough sketch of the
critical requirements staff would establish for this position as
well as an excerpt from the Mt. Auburn Associates study outlining
the role and general responsibilities of this position.
Based upon the attached documents describing both the general
responsibilities and the required qualifications associated with
this position, staff has contacted other governmental entities in
the Central Ohio area in an attempt to identify comparable
positions and levels of responsibility. Included within this
research were the various local suburban governments in the area as
well as the City of Columbus and the state of Ohio. The results of
this research revealed that specific Economic Development
Coordinator positions per se do not usually exist within the local
suburban governmental entities within the Central Ohio Area.
However, comparable positions were identified at the state level
and within the City of Columbus. The results of our findings are
summarized below:
Ohio Department of Development
The Ohio Department of Development has a classification with
comparable responsibilities entitled Business Development
Representative. The minimum qualifications include a
Bachelor's Degree in City and Regional Planning, Economic
Development, Business or Marketing or two years of experience
in economic development or a marketing-related field. There
is no established pay range for this classification; salary is
based upon the qualifications of the candidate. The most
recent position vacancy announcement of this classification
revealed that a starting salary would be $42,000 (negotiable
based upon qualifications). In talking with the Personnel
Division at the Development Department, it appears a realistic
starting range could be in the area of $42,000 - $48,000.

._~~.~.,,'_.,_~,_,.,,'_ '". ~..__"."_,",,,.. ... . L
, , , '
City of Columbus
The City of Columbus Department of Development has a
comparable classification entitled Economic Development
Coordinator. The minimum qualifications for this position
include a Bachelor's Degree in one of the physical or social
,..,'. sciences and three years of experience in city and regional
planning, community development, business administration,
public administration, or economic development, including one
year of supervisory experience. The starting pay range for
this position is $37,148.80 to $46,092.80. After the first
year of service, a step plan is available that tops out at
$54,849.60.
In light of the current level of understanding regarding the
responsibilities and requirements associated with the proposed
position with the City of DUblin, relative to the responsibilities,
minimum qualifications, and salary information obtained from the
City of Columbus and the Ohio Department of Development, Staff has
identified what would appear to be an appropriate pay grade for
this position. When comparing the relevant factors just identified
with the positions within our existing wage/salary structure, Staff
would recommend that this position be "slotted in" at pay grade 17
($33,638 - $46,627).

City and the Chamber with regant to current development needs and efforts as well as effoit,(~~,:.
proposed for the future. The' Partnership would help the City and the Chambei idehtili~:0~;'-;'
development goals and m~n~ for achieving them consistent with the City's overall visiori;'u'tc->
developed in the Community Plan update.
Second, through the workings of the Partnership, members - such as utilities and}~~i,
regional planning agencies - would become integral parts of economic developnienf-t~~'
implementation efforts. Third, the workings of the Partnership would allow key-members to-
become educated regarding the City's economic development needs and efforts, and t~
communicate that knowledge to other members of the community. For instance,
representatives of the School District would be in a position to apprise that organization's
constituency with regard to development efforts and their fiscal implications. Finally, " -
through providing feedback and assistance in implementation, members of the Partnership -;;- ,,'
would feel some "ownership" 'of the overall development effort and' provide _ further:~:~~:~':
legitimacy to such efforts in the eyes of the public. In light of these functions, the City and:( -
the Chamber should review the current Partnership membership list, and make any additions
-- they see necessary.
2. Provide adequate staff to undertake proactive economic development.
At a minimum, the City should hire one highly-skilled, full-time economic
development coordinator whose responsibilities are to oversee and coordinate all aspects of
economic development. He or she would have direct responsibility for overseeing the
specific efforts regarding attraction, retention and expansion, and startups. The coordinator
would seek to leverage the efforts of the ~hamber committees, City officials and agencies,
regional agencies, and members of the Partnership for the purposes of Dublin's economic
! development. To ensure that their efforts are in line with the economic development
I
. strategy, the coordinator would work with City departments involved with such functions as
. development regulation, community amenities, community planning, traffic, and
I .- communications. The coordinator would serve as primary staff to the Partnership. We
suggest that the coordinator be given one or two staff to assist in the peIformance of these:.

SUBJECT: Ancillary Costs Associated with Economic
Development Coordinator position
DATE: June 2, 1994
, ..,~v
BY: David L. Harding, Director of Personnel & Purchasing
Terry D. Foegler, Director of DevelopmentjAssistant
city Manager
In response to Council Member strip's request at your last meeting
regarding the above referenced subject, Staff has identified the
following ancillary costs:
Personal Computer: $3,000.00
Furniture: $6,000.00
Telephone: $ 285.00
Training: $1,000.00
Other areas which Staff evaluated included clerical support and
vehicles. The Development Staff does not anticipate the need for
additional clerical personnel as a result of the creation of this
position. Sufficient clerical support presently exists to cover
the needs of this position. The recent technological modifications
to the City's phone system have resulted in certain efficiencies
within the clerical ranks, which in return translate into the
ability to perform a greater volume of clerical tasks. In the area
of vehicles, no need has been identified for a vehicle; sufficient
vehicles exist to cover any situations where transportation needs
may arise.
All of the above identified costs are one-time costs, with the
~ exception of training. Expenses for professional development
conferences, seminars, etc. are ongoing in nature and will be
identified in each year's annual operating budget. An expenditure
of $1,000 is the usual amount budgeted annually for professionalj
administrative positions of this nature.
Staff realizes that there may be other expenses related to the
implementation of the new economic development strategy presently
under Council's consideration. Depending upon the final elementsj
components of this strategy, and the aggressiveness with which
Council desires certain elements of this strategy to be
implemented, the costs related to the development and publication
of marketing materials may vary considerably. As the economic
development program area becomes better defined and as these
additional costs are identified within the next few months, such
costs will be identified by the Development Staff as part of the
1995 budget process.
