Explanation
Significant recruitment efforts were made to fill the classification of Chief Building Official at the current pay grade, without success. After checking the market, it was evident that the pay grade should be adjusted to a Grade 96 through an amendment to the Management Compensation Plan. The acceptance of this ordinance will indicate Council's approval.
Any budget impact will be absorbed within the existing department budget.
