Requested Action(s)
recommendation
a) OTHER THAN “A” STEP - Request approval to appoint the candidate as a Planner IV at a Salary Range 43, Step E, effective upon successful completion of all pre-employment requirements
body
Financial Impact:
The Planning Department has budgeted for two planner positions for FY 2025-2026. Filling the Planner IV position at E step would not place the department over budget.
Background Information:
The candidate selected has over 20 years of Planning experience. He has a bachelor's degree from Chico State and completed half the required credit for a master’s program. The applicant is AICP (American Institute of Certified Planners) certified.
The combination of years of experience, AICP certification and education justifies the increase to step E.
The Personnel Office has reviewed the candidate’s qualifications and agrees with placement at Salary Range 43, Step E upon successful completion of all pre-employment requirements.
