Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance approving Amendment No. 4 to the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, as adopted by Ordinance No. 8405, by revising the authorized amount of Full Time Equivalents for the City of Lee’s Summit Finance Department.
Key Issues:
The Finance Department currently has an authorized position of Account Technician with an annual pay range of $33,261 to $54,961. The person occupying that position recently retired after 16 years of service. The vacancy in the position provides the department an opportunity to assess its work assignments and restructure duties to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. As part of the restructuring process, the department desires to modify the Account Technician position to an Accountant position with an annual pay range of $36,150 to $57,548. This modification raises the bottom of the range by $2,889 and raises the top of the range by $2,587.
It is anticipated that some cost savings will result from filling the position in spite of the increase in the pay range because the retiring employee was near the top of the current pay range and the new employee will likely be hired in the low to mid-range sector of the new pay range.
If this request is approved by the Finance and Budget Committee and the City Council, the Finance Department anticipates posting the position immediately so it can be filled as soon as possible.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for a second reading of An Ordinance approving Amendment No. 4 to the budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, as adopted by Ordinance No. 8405, by revising the authorized amount of Full Time Equivalents for the City of Lee’s Summit Finance Department.
