Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance approving Amendment No. 9 to the Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 as adopted by Ordinance No. 8405, by establishing a new Pay and Classification Plan.
Key Issues:
The City of Lee's Summit receives federal funding from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The grant is used to help fund projects like First Time Home Buyer program and the Minor Home Repair program. Proceeds are also used to fund non-profit organizations such as Rediscover, Coldwater, Hope House, and Lee's Summit Social Services with various projects.
Currently the CDBG grant is coordinated by our Assistant Director of Planning and Special Projects who has recently announced a retirement date. Approval of the amendment will create a CDBG Administrator who will be responsible for adminstration of the CDBG grant and other assignments in the Development Services department. This will help ensure a continued delivery of service.
Additionally, the amendment will eliminate the Director of Planning and Special projects position which is currently vacant.
These changes will result in an overall decrease of personnel expenditures in the General Fund.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move for adoption of An Ordinance approving Amendment No. 9 to the Budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 as adopted by Ordinance No. 8405, by establishing a new Pay and Classification Plan.
Background:
The CDBG Administrator position has been classified as a Professional Non-Management position with a minimum hourly rate of $22.2525 and a maximum hourly rate of $33.3788.
