Shakopee City Council
April 17, 2018

FROM:Jennifer Gabbard, Human Resources Manager
TO:Mayor and City Council
Subject:
Approve the reclassification of the GIS Specialist position.
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve the addition of one GIS Coordinator position, grade 170 and eliminate one GIS Specialist position, grade 160.
Recommendation:
Approve the policy/action requested.
Discussion:

The GIS Specialist position has been geared towards just a technical position. In actuality, the GIS position is more of a coordinator position that also performs the technical work. This position completes higher-level coordination among various departments to support the goals of Public Works as well as citywide. 

 

The GIS Specialist position was requested to be reviewed by the City Engineer/Public Works Director. The review of this position was done by Keystone Compensation Group, as a neutral third party. Keystone recommended that the position be reclassified to a GIS Coordinator position at a grade 170 on our 2018 Non-Union Pay Plan. 

 

The incumbent in the GIS Specialist position will be appointed to the GIS Coordinator position in accordance with Shakopee Personnel Policy V.I.

Budget Impact:
Budget impact is minimal and can be absorbed by the department's budget.
