The Administrative Specialist I/II/III series will plan, organize and coordinate office support functions for executive-level staff and/or elected officials; provide a variety of complex and confidential office administrative assistance; assist in administering municipal elections; provide policy guidance and expert assistance to City departments in areas of assigned responsibility and may provide direct supervision and daily direction to office support staff. It is recommended that the salary range for Administrative Specialist I be set at $4,202-5,108 (range 60), Administrative Specialist II be set at $4,523- $5,498 (range 63), Administrative Specialist III be set at $4,986-$6,061 (range 67).
