CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
The Development Services Department has recommended that the saIary of one of its key
positions be increased. The recommended increase is based on the findings of the
Classification and Compensation Study that was recently received and filed by the Mayor
and Common CounciL
BACKGROUND
The Development Services Department currently has fifteen (IS) vacancies out of 89
positions. These vacancies include the key position of Senior Plan Checker.
The Department, in conjunction with the Human Resources Department and Civil
Services, has recently completed its second recruitment effort for the position without
success. The position has been vacant since November of 2000. This position provides
journey level support in the City's planning process and the inability to fill this vacancy
has impacted the department's ability to process plans expeditiously. In addition, the
cost of multiple recruitments during this fiscal year has also impacted the recruitment
budget.
Without the increase in saIary for this position, it is unlikely that a third attempt to
recruitment will be any more successful than the previous two attempts.
In an effort to improve the City's ability to attract and retain high quality employees and
is recommended that the salary increase suggested below be adopted as a means of
attracting a better pool of candidates. The recent classification and compensation study
recommended that the position should be compensated as follows:
Current Range
Recommended Range
Senior Plans Checker: 2443 - $4,044 to $4,916
2457 - $4,337- $5,272
The study also recommended a title change to Senior Plans Examiner, however it is
recommended that the title change be delayed until it can be formally adopted by the
Civil Service Board.
This change reflects a 7% increase in salary and should result in more interest in the
position and a stronger applicant pool. The proposed increase would not effect any other
current employees given that there is no incumbent Senior Plan Checker staff.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
It is anticipated that the vacant position will be filled on or about June 1, 200 1. The
increased cost for the remainder of the FY2000-01 will be minimal and will be absorbed
through the salary savings generated from this vacancy. The cost for the FY 2001-02 will
be approximately $4,500 and will be absorbed in the department's FY 2001-02 budget.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Increase the salary for the Senior Plan Checker from Range 2443 - $4,044 to
$4,916/mo to Range2457 - $4,337- $5,2721mo.
2. Direct the Human Resources Department to update Resolution 6413, Section
Eleven, to reflect this particular action.
