Correction of Errors from Compensation Study
Department:Utilities - Tom Wiedmeier, Director
Presenter:Tom Wiedmeier
Caption:Approve Correction of Inequities Created by Compensation
Study.
Background:At the time of the Compensation study in 2018, AUD had
Accountant I, II, and III positions, some of which were vacant.
As a result of the Compensation study all three of these titles
were downgraded to Accounting Technicians and set at
paygrade 10. This resulted in those positions being highly
undergraded in comparison to other similar positions in other
departments.
Analysis:Utilities was unaware at the time what other department’s
similar positions were graded as a result of the Compensation
Study. A recent analysis and job evaluation conducted revealed
that AUD’s position are at least equal to the skillset, job
responsibilities and experience/education requirements of other
ones that already exist within the Engineering, Finance and
Environmental Services Departments titled Accountant PG-17
and Accountant, Senior PG-19. Additionally, all our positions
require a 4-year degree in Accounting or a related field, while
positions in some other departments at the higher paygrades do
not. We have processed these changes with HR and received
acknowledgement that these upgraded positions are appropriate.
Financial Impact:The net effect will be an increase in total salaries for the three
positions combined of $24,430.43, plus an estimated increase in
benefits of $4,470.77, for a total budget increase of
approximately $28,901.20.
Alternatives:No alternative available without perpetuating this inequity.
Recommendation:
Currently, AUD has three (3) Accounting Technicians positions
at PG 10. We are requesting that PCN’s WSA21PN001 and
WSA21PN003 be upgraded to Accountant PG 17 and PCN
WSA21PN002 to Accountant, Senior PG 19. This request will
allow our assigned personnel to be in line with others with
similar skillsets, responsibilities and experience/education
requirements throughout the organization.

HCD¬_ Rehabilitation Program Lien Restructure Request
Department:HCD
Presenter:Hawthorne Welcher, Jr. and/or HCD Staff
Caption:Motion to approve HCD’s Rehabilitation Program Lien
Restructure request.
Background:The Homeowner-Occupied Rehabilitation Program provides a
mechanism for eligible homeowners to bring their eligible house
into compliance with local codes and provide safe, decent
housing for lower income individuals. As of today, the program
is financially structured to hold a lien for the longevity of the
owner owning the property. To better accommodate the
homeowner in allowing a shorter attached lien period on the
home, HCD is proposing the following: Financial assistance to
be provided to homeowners in the form of a deferred forgivable
loan. The loan will be forgiven at a rate 20% per year for a
5-year period. If the house is sold or transferred before the lien
period expires, the homeowner gets credit for every month
starting from initial date of contract up to the date of transfer,
then that credit is subtracted from the total loan amount, which is
then owed and due to the City.
Analysis:The approval of this request will allow future homeowners to
afford compliant, affordable, decent and safe housing.
Financial Impact:The City receives funding from the US Housing and Urban
Development Department (HUD) on an annual basis.
Alternatives:Do not approve HCDs Request.
Recommendation:Motion to approve HCD’s Rehabilitation Program Lien
Restructure request.
