| | | | | | | | Subject:
Authorize Communications Specialist Hire at Step 7 | | |
| | | | | | | | Policy/Action Requested:
Authorize the hire of communications specialist (graphic designer) candidate Deb Noble at step 7 of the compensation schedule. | | |
| | | | | | | | Recommendation:
Authorize the hire at step 7. | | |
| | | | | | | | Discussion:
City policy requires council approve any new hires where the wage or salary is above the mid-point of the compensation schedule for that position. The Communications Department is looking to hire Deb Noble in the communications specialist - graphic designer role. Mrs. Noble comes to us with more than 25 years of experience in graphic design.
Hiring Mrs. Noble at step 7 falls within the advertised wage range. Her years of relevant experience, training and graphic design skills make her the ideal candidate and, we believe, warrants her starting at this step. | | |
| | | | | | | | Budget Impact:
The Communications Department budget reflects this position. | | |
