CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
BACKGROUND
On September 16, 1996, the Mayor and Common Council authorized the execution of an
agreement with Ralph Andersen & Associates for a management/confidential compensation
study. On December 1, 1997, the Mayor and Common adopted the study.
On October 20, 1997, the Mayor and Common Council approved an upgrade to the salary range
for the classification of Code Compliance Manager to Range 4482, $4,913 - $5,972/month.
ANALYSIS
The Code Compliance Manager position has been vacant since September 25, 1997.
Recruitment for the position was conducted from October 13, 1997, through November 20,
1997. The results of the recruitment produced only four (4) candidates who marginally met the
minimum qualifications. Of the four candidates, only three (3) chose to be interviewed. The
one candidate who declined to be interviewed cited salary as the reason for declining the
interview. The three candidates who were interviewed lacked the experience, technical expertise
and leadership abilities desired by the City of San Bernardino. A review of the applications
revealed that a majority of the applicants lacked the experience necessary to handle the broad,
complex code compliance issues facing the City of San Bernardino.
An analysis of three (3) cities with code enforcement departments of similar size and operation
to the City of San Bernardino indicate that the average salary range for a comparable position
is $5,452 - $7,147. It would appear that in order for the City to attract a viable candidate, an
increase in salary must be considered.
In addition to the increase in salary, it is recommended that the minimum qualifications be
changed to include the certification requirements which were recommended by the City
Attorney.
In order to recruit and retain the most qualified candidates, it is recommended that a salary range
consistent with current market values be established. The appropriate salary range for the
Director of Code Compliance is Range 4523, $6,028 - $7,327.
