Assistant Personnel Director Ordinance

At a glance

Item 415-26 would create an assistant director of personnel position (ordinance 02.48.050). Personnel Director Carol Garcia said the department has three core staff for about 594 employees, more than 10 unions and more than 10 departments, and that only she can sit in negotiations and grievances; she cited a recommended ratio of 1.5 to 1.7 HR staff per 100 employees. A councilor wanted the language to require city council confirmation of the assistant director, as for most assistant directors, and the city attorney said he would take that back. The committee voted to table the item so the revised language can come back.
