Background:
In response to the City Council’s direction to staff to make adjustments to the Pay and Classification Plan established by Springsted in 2017, a team of employees was established. That team included Anita Dickey, Director of Human Resources, Brian Head, City Attorney, Steve Marsh, Chief Technology Officer, Mark Schaufler, Director of Water Utilities, Dena Mezger, Director of Public Works, Ryan Elam, Development Center Director, Daniel White, Chief Counsel of Management and Operations, and Jackie Heanue, Superintendent of Legal Services and Human Resources.
The structure team undertook an extensive analysis of all job descriptions in the organization and worked with Management Team to ensure accuracy and consistency. Next, those job descriptions were utilized to re-evaluate SAFE scores originally assessed during the Springsted process. The position evaluation system was modified by the City in order to ensure that qualifiers and measures which were important to the City were accurately scored.
