DISCUSSION
The Assistant City Manager position has not been filled since 2011. As part of the 2016-2017 budget, the position was funded, but at the prior maximum salary of $143,815 (Step 5). Currently the highest paid Director receives a salary of $153,534 (Step 5). One of the primary duties of the Assistant City Manager will be to oversee City department heads and staff in the City Manager’s absence, consequently, because this is the second highest position in the City, the new proposed salary range is $147,408 - $179,175.
If approved, the revised salary range below will become part of the City’s classification plan.
