City of San Leandro City Council Meeting Date: March 20, 2023 Agenda Number: 10.d. Agenda Section: CONSENT CALENDAR File Number: 23-074 File Type: Staff Report Adopt a Resolution to Amend the Confidential Employee Group Salary Schedule to Add the Classification of Executive Assistant to the City Manager COUNCIL PRIORITY ·Infrastructure SUMMARY A new classification of Executive Assistant to the City Manager was established to capture the complex, high-level, and confidential work that is uniquely required in the City Manager’s Office. RECOMMENDATIONS Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution to amend the salary schedule for the Confidential Employee Group to add the classification of Executive Assistant to the City Manager. Currently, the City Manager is supported by an Administrative Specialist II, which is a broad city-wide classification that can be used by various departments. A classification analysis conducted by Human Resources Department found that a majority of comparator agencies use a specific single-class classification for the City Manager’s executive assistant. A compensation study was also conducted to propose a salary range for the Executive Assistant to the City Manager classification. Analysis The Executive Assistant to the City Manager classification will be responsible for performing highly responsible, complex, and confidential administrative support to the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and/or elected officials. The position will also manage the office administrative functions of the City Manager’s Office; act as the first point of contact for the City Manager and provide information to the public and staff requiring considerable knowledge of City and department services, policies, and procedures. It is distinguished from other administrative positions because the work requires extensive public contact, the frequent use of tact, discretion, and independent judgement, while working with minimal supervision. The duties and responsibilities are similar in scope to those found in higher level support positions in other city manager offices. A survey of the comparator agencies indicated that San Leandro was the only agency that did not use an Executive Assistant classification in the City Manager’s Office.
