Staff Report
SUBMITTED BY: Lori Carney, Human Resources Manager
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. os-�o2 amending Resolution 08-66 outlining the City's salary
schedule and allocated positions to reflect a reorganization of the Information Systems
Department.
Discussion:
The City's Director of Information Systems retired effective November 14, 2008, after nearly
fourteen years as the head of the City's information systems unit. The Director of
Finance/City Treasurer and I have reviewed the structure of the department and the current
needs of the City and are requesting a restructuring to better serve those needs in a more
cost effective manner.
The proposed reorganization maintains the same number of positions and will result in a
salary and benefits savings of at least $11,400 annually. The department will continue to
report to the Director of Finance/City Treasurer and no changes to workspace allocation or
equipment will be necessary. Below is a table illustrating the proposed changes:

This reorganization will allow the City to retain a highly talented and skilled employee with
institutional knowledge at the head of the unit while providing an opportunity to bring in new
staff in day to day operations.
Approval of this request will result in a more seamless transition and net salary savings. If this
request is denied the City will embark on a lengthy recruitment for a new Director of
Information Systems. It is anticipated that such recruitment will be difficult due to the limited
number of potential candidates in the Coachella Valley and the fact that current economic
conditions make it difficult to attract experienced managers to the desert.
